| TASK
DEFINITION |
The
Question:
Compare cell structures and functions with other systems. |
| |
Requirements:
Define question:
What are the cell structures and functions?
Cell wall, Cell
membrane, Nucleus, Nuclear membrane, Chromosomes, Nucleolus, Cytoplasm,
Endoplasmic reticulum, Ribosomes, Mitochondria, Vacuoles, Lysosomes,
Chloroplasts
Define "system".
Research cell parts to find each part's structure and function.
Research your selected system for comparison purposes. |
| |
3-D model of cell and system
Oral comparison of the cell structure and function with selected
system

Information |
Read and/or
view information
Take notes on structure and function for each cell part listed.
Paraphrase and summarize the structure and function of each cell part. |
| Synthesis: |
Process:
Organize material logically to support central question.
Create 2 3-D models side by side comparing the cell and your selected
system
Presentation:
Two
3-D models
Oral presentation:
Reflects audience (communication)
Uses appropriate medium
Demonstrates understanding of cell's structure and function as it
relates to your selected system
Compares systems |
| Evaluation: |
What is a
good presentation?
Rubric
If I were to do this again, how would I improve upon it?
Do my 3-D models compare the cell functions and structures with
another system? |
