Cell Analogy Project
Cell Analogy Project
PROJECT
DESCRIPTION:
• You
have
completed
the
assignment
to
relate
the
cell
and
its
organelles
to
a
city.
• Now
it
is
your
turn
to
design
your
own
analogy
for
the
cell.
• You
will
work
in
groups
of
2
to
3
students.
• You
will
create
a
small
poster
with
drawings
and
cap<ons
to
explain
your
analogy.
• These
posters
will
be
shared
with
the
class.

REQUIRED
ORGANELLE:
• Your
poster
should
assign
roles
to
the
following
organelles:
cell
membrane,
nucleus,
endoplasmic
re<culum,
ribosome,
Golgi
apparatus,
vesicles,
vacuoles,
lysosomes,
cytoplasm,
and
mitochondria.
If
you
want
to
model
a
plant
cell,
then
you
should
also
include
the
cell
wall
and
chloroplasts.
• Your
final
goal
is
to
transport
a
completed
protein
to
the
parts
of
the
cell
where
it
is
needed.

POSSIBLE
ANALOGIES:
Feel
free
to
design
any
analogy
you
wish
for
this
project,
as
long
as
it
makes
sense.
If
you
do
not
choose
an
analogy
from
the
list,
then
please
run
your
idea
by
the
teacher
before
star<ng
your
poster.
