Cell+Analogy+Project

=**CELL ANALOGY PROJECT INFORMATION:**=

Cells, the basic units of life, are often compared to a pizza parlor, a factory, or even an entire city. In this project, you will need to make an analogy to compare the function of a plant cell to the parts and functions of another analogy (besides a factory).

//__Instructions: __//
 * Analogy of your choice (with approval) to compare to plant cell
 * *Analogy decision – due Thursday, Oct 31st
 * May work by yourself or with one other partner from ANY of my classes
 * Complete 2 parts for this project worth 50 points (test grade)

26 pts – Cell Analogy Explanation __Worksheet__ (Graded individually)
 * Worksheet (attached) lists the required organelles for you to compare
 * The FUNCTIONS between the cell and analogy must match (not appearance)
 * Grading based on how you explain your analogy in the worksheet
 * 2 points per organelle (has 13 organelles)
 * *Rough draft of this worksheet is due Wednesday, Nov. 7th (cell function/analogy)

24 pts – Cell Analogy Visual __Poster__ (Same grade for both partners) >> = = >> **​** Project (Worksheet and Poster) Due Tues, November 12th
 * Draw the analogy (NOT A CELL)
 * Hand-drawn, colored, detailed portrayal of your cell analogy
 * Neatness counts
 * <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Poster board NO SMALLER than a TATU book cover
 * <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Use a ruler for your straight edges!
