Cell Analogy Project Guidelines

Creative biology project guiding students to build a detailed analogy comparing cell organelles to a real-world system. Includes written explanations and a labeled visual. Great for reinforcing cell structure and function through artistic expression.

    Malachi B. , Akwia T. . Givanui A. . MaLonnie T. CELL ANALOGY You and your lab partner from our biology class will be responsible for creating a explaining an analogy to describe die organelles of the celL Your group may choose ant' appropriate structure or system to use for your comparison. Your choice must be approved by me and there trill only be one of each analogy in our classroom (so be creative and get to me early!). Your assignment trill be divided into two sections described below. Foliotv the directions carefully and have fun! The more careful thought and energy you put into this project, the more comfortable yon will be with the organelles and how they work together to make YOU work your best! Remember, our goal here is for you to learn the organelle names, structures, and functions in preparation for our next exam The Writing: It is important that your analogy explanation section be specific and thorough—show me that you not only know what each cell part does but that you can also give creative and logical reasons to show why the structure you chose to represent it is a good comparison. Keep in mind that some of the jobs of organelles (for example, the Golgi body and ribosome} are related and therefore their analogy parts must also make sense as a group. Remember that your job is to relate the Amotion of the cell organelles to the function of your analogy parts; the structure itself does not have to be similar in appearance. Your written work must be typed; you may make your template or use the one I have created and posted on School Loop for you to edit. Include a job assignment table—which individual was responsible for which organelle explanations and visual components? The Drawing: Label your drawing with the appropriate cell organelle names (please, no legend key number system). Your visual should show time and care and can be a drawing or some sort of collage display utilizing other materials in addition to pen pencils. Both partner names and the class period should be listed on the bottom right of the front of the drawing and the title of your cell analogy should be listed at the top (see title on next sheet for assistance). 9/27/24 This assignment is due on Cell Analogy: The cell is like _a soccer team.
