Cell Analogy Project

This project is due: __________________________


Objective: Create a cell analogy by comparing the parts of a cell to things that perform similar functions. Choose either a plant cell or an animal cell. -Hint: There is a cell analogy comparing a cell to the Herrs Factory in your Parts of a Cell packet! Use this as an e ample! but you cannot use the factory analogy. Whats an analogy, any ay! An analogy is co"paring t o things that are si"ilar# -" ample: # cell is similar to a factory because they both ha$e parts that perform specific functions an% pro%uce things. Procedure: Complete the follo&ing steps to create your poster. Place a check mark ne t to each number as you complete each step. '.
