OrganellesLesson #9

CatalystWrite down today’s topic in your T.O.C.Take out your homework (Part C of WS #7)1. Suppose you own a small island in the middle

of the ocean. You want to turn it into a city, but you want to save your money and not build any unnecessary buildings.

2. What is the minimum number of buildings you need to have to make your city self-sufficient (able to survive on its own)? Write down which buildings you’d need (e.g. mayor’s office, etc.).

Objective:Identify major organelles and their functions

Thought questionSuppose you own a small island in the middle

of the ocean. You want to turn it into a city, but you want to save your money and not build any unnecessary buildings.

What is the minimum number of buildings you need to have to make your city self-sufficient?

How it worksDesign a island city that is self-sufficientEach building you build costs $1,000The team that spends THE LEAST money

winsE.g. A team that builds 9 buildings will do

better than a team that builds 20 buildings

You can make a list and/or draw a picture

Round IIGroups of 2 combine into groups of 4Discuss with each other, taking the best of

each other’s ideasDo NOT just add all the buildings together.

Maybe you can cut some buildings!

Debrief:What buildings do we need?

Why’d we do this activity?How does this activity about what makes

cities run relate to biology and cells?

Hint: Cell theory says cells are smallest thing that can be alive

Organelles“mini-organs”
