Biology Cell Organelle Creative Project
This is due __________________ as soon as class starts. From the table below you will need to choose one
organelle, meet ALL of the requirements, and choose one of the listed choices to present your work. You can
get teacher approval if you have another creative idea.
I do not want you to just copy your notes/book onto a poster and hand it in. I want funny, creative stories,
interesting poems, etc as a different way to teach about the organelles. Make your project appealing for the
gallery walk. We will vote on the top 3 in class and the top 3 will get a prize.
