2. Review Question #1: A student looks under the microscope and sees the following image. a) Is it a plant cell or an animal cell? b) How do you know? (Evidence) Review Question #2: a)Is it eukaryote or prokaryote? b) How do you know?

4. SLIDE 1: Why is a cell like a factory?  The job of a factory is to make a product (i.e. a bicycle, a cellphone, etc.)  The job of a cell is to make proteins (i.e. hemoglobin, melanin, insulin, etc.)

5.  The cell wall is like the security gates because…. ◦ It surrounds the factory and protects it just as a cell wall surrounds a plant cell and maintains structure.

6.  The cell membrane is like the door because…. ◦ It allows materials to enter and leave the factory

7.  The nucleus is like the CEO/boss because…. ◦ It controls the factory and tells it what to do

8.  The cytoplasm is like the factory floor because…. ◦ It fills up the factory and connects each location to another

9.  The Endoplasmic reticulum is like the assembly line because… ◦ It moves the product (proteins) around

10.  The Ribosomes is like the factory workers because… ◦ They make the products (just like they make the protein)

11.  The Vacuole is like the Kitchen because… ◦ It stores food/water for the workers

12.  The lysosomes are like the custodial staff because… ◦ They clean up the factory’s waste materials, disinfect, etc.

13.  The mitochondria is like the generator because… ◦ It provides energy for the factory’s machines

14.  Your goal: To create your own cell analogy. Part A. Cell Analogy Brainstorm Activity Directions: Decide what you want to compare a cell to. For example, remember how we compared the cell to a factory? What other analogy can you come up with? A cell is like a __________________________________________________.

15. Is/Are LikeBecause… Nucleus Cytoplasm Cell membrane/ cell wall Vacuole Lysosomes Ribosomes Mitochondria Chloroplast Etc. etc. etc.

16. Create a visual representation of your analogy. Use the large paper for this. Your visual MUST include the following FOUR components:  Title “A cell is like ______________”  Your name  Each picture/organelle labeled clearly  A brief description of why its an analogy. Example:  “The Gatorade is like the mitochondria because it provides energy to the players”

17. Write a 1-2 page response to the following 4-5 questions: 1. What are cells? 2. What kinds of cells exist? 3. What are organelles? (Provide a few examples and explain their function) 4. How do plant cells differ from animal cells? 5. What analogy did you select for this project, and why? ***Note: If you need to look information up on the internet, remember to PARAPHRASE (put it in your OWN words. Students who copy off of the internet will automatically receive a zero on the written component.
