You choose your project:
 Make a poster that shows a glucose molecule enter into cellular respiration, and track it through the entire process with details… You can either draw (with color) a poster (or rather large piece of paper, doesn’t have to be on poster board), or you can be creative… cut out pictures from a magazine, represent molecules using something else… or you could even use something like modeling clay to show your process! The poster must contain detailed explanations along with drawings of the process of cellular respiration. Drawings must be done by hand and not printed off the computer or copied out of the book. 
 Make a brochure that tours you through the process of cellular respiration
(again, be creative). For example the front could say, “ Come see the fabulous world of cellular respiration”. Any pictures must be by hand and all things must be explained in detail.
 Write a detailed creative story about cellular respiration (for example you could tell the story as if you were a glucose molecule).
 Write a new song for cellular respiration too! …hmmm… maybe you are not musically inclined, you could always write a poem explaining the processes. The song must be based off of a known song changing the lyrics. The poem must rhyme.
 Make a children’s book that explains cellular respiration. Don’t forget the pictures!
Even though it is written for a child to read, it must still describe the details of cellular respiration and make sense to a child and explain cellular respiration.
 Make a scrapbook page(s) to show the process of cellular respiration. Maybe each page could show a step/stage/process (i.e. one page could be all about glycolysis – complete with “pictures” of a glucose molecule turning into pyruvate) …maybe carbon dioxide and ATP went on vacation together for Spring Break last year!

 Partner Option: Make a video (either act it out, interpretive dance, puppet show, interviews with people, claymation, anything that explains the process of cellular respiration).
** Your work must be your own. Do not plagiarize off the internet! Everything must be written in your own words and not taken from any source. It must be proved that you understand what you are explaining!
These are just a few ideas that would work. If you have something fantastic in mind that was not mentioned above, feel free to do that instead, just make sure it ’s approved first. Remember the whole point of this assignment is to practice with this process.
Also note that you are being graded on: effort , creativity , and accuracy (i.e. does it really show the process of photosynthesis/cellular respiration?). It will be worth 60 points.
If you go over and above what is expected (so much so that I am utterly impressed) extra credit may be available. These extra credit points will then be added in to your project grade (10 points max)
