CELL PROJECT CHOICE BOARD

Choose one of the projects from the choices below to demonstrate you
understanding of cell organelles and structures and their functions.

1. CELL CITY Poster: 2. BUILD a CELL or DESIGN a TSHIRT/Box

In Cell City, you will design a colorful city that represents
a cell. You will compare the parts of the city to the
organelles of a plant or animal cell.
Decide what part of the city each organelle represents.
On a piece of poster paper, draw the layout of your city
in color and with labels. Go over all your labels in pen.
Come up with a creative city name.
Attach a key to your poster that explains why each part
of the city represents a certain organelle. Here is an
example of a explanation sentence: The city hall
represents the nucleus because it is the control center of
the city. This is similar to a nucleus job, which is to
control a cell.
Keep in mind the part of the citys job should be similar
to the job that the organelle does for the cell. An
explanation of this should be included in your sentences.
For this project, you will build a model using whatever
materials you want to represent all the organelles in a
plant or animal cell. OR draw on a T-shirt.
You must have an object in your model to represent
every organelle in your cell. Pay attention to where they
go in your model, what they look like, their size, etc.
They should be representative of the real organelles in a
cell.
Attach a key to your model or T-shirt explaining what
item represents each organelle in a complete sentence.
To demonstrate your knowledge of what the organelles
DO if you build a cell, include their function in your
sentences.
To demonstrate your knowledge of what the organelles
DO if you create a T-shirt or box, you must wear the item
to lunch and educate five adults.

3. WRITE A CELL RAP/ POEM: 4. CREATE A 30 QUESTION TEST ABOUT CELLS:

Write a poem or rap about a plant and animal cell and Write 30 test quality questions about plant and animal
all of its organelles. cells, their organelles, and their structures.
Your poem or rap should include information about all You should have at least two questions about every
