Cell Organelle Comparison Project

Dec 2013

Goal: Compare function of cell organelles to functions of organism

• Warm Up: • List 3 organelles and their functions• (example- can’t use this one-

chromosome= DNA, instructions for the cell)

Cell Organelle Comparison Project

• You will choose one project from the menu as a way to present your material. You need to explain the function of each cell organelle and compare it to the function of a body system or organ or a job.

• The grading is: 3 points for each organelle, each function, and each comparison (81 pts)

• 10pts for neatness & creativity; 9 pts turned in on time = Jan 8th

Menu Choices• Venn Diagram – must have a title for entire diagram, & a title for

each section• Game- 4 thematic game pieces, board with title, contain a set of

rules for play• Cartoon/comic strip- must have at least 6 boxes/drawings,

meaningful dialogue, creative use of color• Crossword puzzle- puzzle and answer key• Collage- no clip art, pictures from magazines or internet, labeled-

organelle, function, comparison• Song- words that make sense, must be at least 2 minutes• Acrostic- use “organelle” or other word down the middle, then

use it to list organelle, functions, & comparisons• Mobile- list all organelles, functions, & comparisons• News report- the who, what when of the project; turn in a script

or perform it for the class• (purple=kinesthetic; yellow=visual; green=verbal; blue=written)
