1 Cells Menu Choice 1.Choose ONE project from each topic 2.Projects are weighted differently depending on the level of thinking a.10 point projects show the highest level, advanced level work (A) b.8 point projects show a high level, proficient level work (B) c. 6 point projects show a medium level, basic level work (C) d.if you choose an 8 point or 6 point level you CAN NOT get an A 3.Grading: projects will be graded on full credit, 3/4 credit, half credit, and no credit 4.Choose projects that a.you would like to do b.you feel you can do c. Challenge yourself, I will be there to help you if you need it Topics and Choices Overview Scientific Method Cell Differences Cell Processes Online scientific Method virtual lab / student_view0/unit1/ chapter1/virtual_lab.html 10 Points Drops on a Penny Experiment 16 slide PowerPoint explaining the steps of the scientific method with an example 6 Points (highest grade is a C) Word Wall: Vocabulary of the topic along with picture description and definition is own words Story Journey through the cell 18 slide PowerPoint explaining the how plant and animal cells are similar and different with pictures 3-D model of the cell highlighting the differences 6 Points (highest grade is a C) Word Wall: Vocabulary of the topic along with picture description and definition is own words RAFT: you are an animal cell and you are writing a love letter to a plant cell explaining why you are meant for each other (include the information of photosynthesis and respiration) RAFT: you are a carbon atom and you are writing a life story to the world about your journey from a chloroplast to mitochondria and back again (going from carbon dioxide to glucose to carbon dioxide again) 14 slide Powerpoint that compares and contrasts photosynthesis and respiration 6 Points (highest grade is a C) Word Wall: Vocabulary of the topic along with picture description and definition is own words

2 6 Points (highest grade is a C) word wall 1. Every word goes on its own half sheet of paper (take a standard piece of paper and cut it in half Cut on the line 2. Each paper needs to have the word (should take up the top quarter of the paper) 3. Each paper needs the definition in your own words (written at the bottom of the paper) 4. Each paper needs a picture that describes the word 5. Needs to be neat and in color Example WORD Definition in own words Key words for the topics Scientific Method Cell Differences Cell Processes 1. scientific method 2. Hypothesis 3. Ask a Question 4. Controlled Experiment 5. Controlled Variable 6. Variable 7. Independent Variable 8. Dependent Variable 9. Analyze Results 10.Draw Conclusions 11.Collect Data 1. Cell Theory 2. Prokaryote 3. Eukaryote 4. Plant Cell 5. Animal Cell 6. Nucleus 7. Cell Membrane 8. Cell wall 9. Chloroplast 10.Mitochondria(Mitochondrion) 11.Vacuole 12.Lysosome 13.DNA 1. Photosynthesis 2. Cellular Respiration 3. Plant Cell 4. Animal Cell 5. Chloroplast 6. Mitochondria (Mitochondrion) 7. Glucose 8. Carbon Dioxide 9. Water 10.Oxygen

3 8 Points (Highest Grade is a B) Power Point 1. Needs to be easy to read (no font less than 18 point) 2. Backgrounds and words need to contrast (dark background and light words, or light background and dark words) 3. Information needs to be in YOUR OWN WORDS not copied from the book 4. If you are adding a video, video clips should be no longer than 2 minutes Specific Directions for each topic Scientific Method Cell Differences Cell Process 1.16 slides minimum 2. each step should be its own slide 3. Include the Elodea experiment as an example 4. Use pictures to help explain slide minimum 2. Need to include cell theory, what all cells have in common, prokaryotes and eukaryote, similarites and differences between plant cells and animal cells 3. Use pictures to help explain slide minimum 2. need to include what photosynthesis and respiration need and produce and how they are related 3. Use pictures to help explain Example: scientific method

4 Example: Cell Differences Example: Cell Process

5 8 Points (Highest Grade is a B) 3-D Cell 1. You need to create a cell that is 3-D 2. Choose either a plant cell or animal cell 3. You need to include and label the following organelles (where appropriate). Cell Membrane, Cytoplasm, Nucleus, Cell Wall, Golgi Body, Vacuole, Ribosome, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Mitochondria, Lysosomes, Chloroplast 4. Labeling/key: a. The cell type (plant or animal) should be labeled. b. All cell organelles should also be labeled using a key c. and should include a brief explanation of the function of each organelle 5. Function Key: a. You must include a key for your model. b. The organelles should be listed and identified by the flags on your model. c. You should also include a brief explanation of the function of each organelle. 6. Identifying Differences: Organelles that are used as key identification for that cell should be highlighted on your function key 7. Getting started: Decide if you want to make an animal or plant cell for your model Think of materials that would best represent the different organelles Make a key of the organelles and their functions before you make the model Materials used to represent organelles may include anything. I suggest that you use what you have at home. Do not make this into an expensive project! Ex: wood, buttons, yarn, thread, food, (noodles, vegetables etc) candy, plastic, paper, Styrofoam, etc. Or you can make one out of jello: go to to find out how Examples:
