Cell Book Project Overview
For the cell unit, students will be required to create a book that details all that they need to know about cells. They will have the opportunity to get creative and showcase their artistic ability when they organize and draw the different types of cells and their different parts. When finished, the cell book will serve as a tool of reference for preparing for our final test on cells, so it is important that student's give it their all and do their best work! Details
The cell book should have a unique cover, but must state the title of your book, your name, and a graphic.
On the inside of the cover, your cell book will have a table of contents, detailing what sort of information one can find on each page.
All page numbers will be on the right side of the book. The page on the left will be a supporting page that will either be your chance to draw, add interesting facts, or in some cases meet a requirement, such as labeling. The specifics are below.
p. 1: cell theory (p. 107)
Opposing page = table of contents
p. 2: Plant cell diagram – must be drawn and contain all of the important parts of the cell. (textbook p. 159, you might want to find another reference online or in another textbook))
Opposing page = you can either place the names of the plant cell parts here or some interesting facts if you placed the names on the actual diagram.
p. 3 Animal cell diagram – must be drawn and contain all of the important parts of the cell. (textbook p. 155)
Opposing page = you can either place the names of the animal cell parts here or some interesting facts if you placed the names on the actual diagram.
p. 4 – Plants only page! – use this page and its opposing page to detail the important structures that only plants have in their cells. (Chloroplasts p. 147)
p. 5 – Cell membrane – use this page and its opposing page to explain the cell membrane’s parts, diagram the cell membrane, and explain its function (p. 134).
p. 6 – Cytoplasm - use this page and its opposing page to explain what cytoplasm is. A unique touch would be some sort of graphic organizer or drawing.
p. 7 – Nucleus diagram – must be drawn and contain all the important parts of the nucleus (textbook p. 142)
On the opposing page, include interesting facts, definitions, or other unique details.
p. 8 – Mitochondria diagram – must be drawn and show the structure of this organelle (textbook p. 148)
Again, the opposing page should contain facts, definitions, or your own unique touch.
p. 9 – Endoplasmic Reticulum diagram – must be drawn to show the structure of the organelle. (textbook p. 155 [picture] p. 150 [info])
the opposing page should be filled with facts, definitions, or other unique details.
p. 10 – Ribosomes – on this page, you should show the reader where the ribosomes can be found or made. (textbook p. 144)
On the opposing page, explain the function of ribosomes and give any interesting facts or unique details that you can to fill the page.
p. 11 – Golgi Bodies – must be drawn (textbook p. 151 [info] p. 155 [picture])
The opposing page should contain information on the function of golgi bodies, including interesting facts, definitions, or unique details.
p. 12 – Lysozomes and vacuoles - use class notes to draw these two organelles.
On the opposing page, explain the their function and include other facts as necessary to fill the page. (textbook p. 151-152 [info] p. 155 [picture])
Grading
This assignment will be graded using a rubric. The rubric will stress accuracy, creativity and organization/neatness. This means that you should be creative and work to show your unique perspective on cells and the creation of this book. Finally, it will be important to follow directions very carefully and complete the assignment fully.
Due Date
This assignment is due on Monday, November 8, 2010. Students will be given two full periods to work on this in school. This time is also when students should bring all of their questions about the assignment to the attention of the teacher. Students must come to planned work days with cell book work to do. This means that they should have their unfinished cell books with them, provide their own creative materials (colored pencils, markers, clippings, etc), and be working the entire class period.
Most of all, students should have fun making this by tapping in to the creative part of their brains!
