2. Intro
The invention of the microscope made it possible for people to discover and learn about cells. All living things are composed of cells which are the basic units and structures and functions in all living things. You will be discovering the wonderful world of cells.

3. Task
You will research about the cell and its organelles, then you and a partner will select and organelle and compare it to a part of your school. You will create a video clip comparing the cell part to your school.

4. Process Visit the following websites:
1. Write down three microscope pictures that you looked at, record in your notebook.
2. Draw an animal cell and label in your notebook
3. Draw a plant cell and label in your notebook
Find out information about the following organelles. Fill out the research sheet while you visit the different sights:
Cell membrane
Nucleus
Chromatin
Nucleolus
Nuclear envelope
Cytoplasm
Mitochondria
Endoplasmic reticulum
Ribosomes
Golgi Bodies
Vacuoles
Lysosomes
Chloroplasts
Cell Wall
5. Select an organelle from teacher. Write a script about the function of your organelle and how that compares to a part of the school. Film your script, edit your movie on movie maker.

5. Evaluation

Interest and Purpose
Video has a clear and interesting purpose. Clever comparison.
Video is interesting but purpose is somewhat unclear.
Video is not very interesting and purpose is somewhat unclear.
Video is not interesting and has no discernable purpose
Accurate Content
Content presented in the video was 100% accurate
There were 1-2 mistakes in the content presented in the video
There were 3-4 mistakes in the content presented in the video
There were more than 4 mistakes in the content presented in video
Videography-Clarity
Video did not rock/shake/ and the focus was excellent throughout
Video did not shake and the focus was excellent for the majority of the video
Video had a little rocking/shaking, but the focus was excellent throughout
Problems with rocking/shaking AND focus
Relationship between school and cell
The relationship between the parts of the school and the parts of the cell were clear
The parts of the school were a little unclear as to how it related to the parts of the cell.
Parts of the school were not clearly related to the parts of the cell.
Did not compare school to cell

6. Conclusion
I hope that you have learned a lot about cells and their organelles, now you are ready to look at them under the microscope!
