Dear Students, We will be studying animal and plant cells. You will be working in groups of four. With your group you will be learning about the animal and plant cells parts and their functions. In doing so, your group and you individually will be exploring a video and websites already provided. I have a list of directions and steps that you and your group will need to follow in order as given. This project is a worth a total of 105 points. Please, take your time and do not rush. You have a week to do this project. If you have any questions or concerns you may use this wiki to ask them and I will answer. Good Luck. :) 1. Ribosome 2. *Cell wall 3. *Nucleus 4. Golgi apparatus 5. Nucleolus 6. Cytoplasm 7. Chloroplast 8. Mitochondria 9. Nuclear envelope 10. Plasma Membrane 11. Vacuole 12. Rough ER 13. Smooth ER 14. Centrosome 15. Cytoskeleton 16. *Cell Membrane
 * Step One:** Get into a group of four and choose **Two** parts of a cell from the list below.

The cell parts that your group has chosen will be the parts that your group will research.
 * Step Two:** Once you have selected your group members and the __**two**__ cell parts you will post them to the Google Doc

 * Step Three**: Watch YouTube. This will introduce to the topics of Animal and Plant Cells.

Click on "Cell models" under Interactive Click on "Animal Cell" first to begin. Move your mouse to explore the different parts of the Animal cell. Below are the functions and parts of the cell. Click on "Plant Cell" Move your mouse to explore the different parts of the Plant cell. Below are the functions and parts of the cell.
 * Step Four:** Explore Interactive site

Look at this informational website to gain more knowledge about Animal and Plant Cells. **Click here** o Go to Cell Structure and look through the Structures of the cell o Go to Functions and look through the Functions of the cell
 * Step Five:**

With your group, write the **three** differences between Animal and Plant cells on the class blog. You will need to post your group page. Make a new post. Title the post: __Three Differences__ Number the differences.
 * Step Six: 3 points**
 * Each group will have a group page. The group number is the number when you typed into the Google Doc.

You will need to research your cell parts. I have broke down the research for you. Each group member needs to participate.
 * Step Seven: Worth 6 points total (2 pts each)**

Part one: Describe the cell parts (what does it look like, where is it located). Part two: Describe the function of the parts. Part three: Are the parts in the animal or plant cell or both or neither? Once you have found this information post to class blog**.** - Create a new post - Title the post: __Research__ As a group, Create your own animal and plant cell in PowerPoint using the auto shapes and clip art with your group using the video, the two websites given, and blog of group pages. Explain **__all__** the functions using provided resources. Post created pictures of animal and plant cell on blog. Save the PowerPoint as a .jpg - Go to Save As - Other Formats - Scroll to .jpg Name it as your group number and Name of project- Animal and Plant cell Example, Group#2AnimalandPlantCellProject
 * Step Eight: Each picture is worth 80 points (40 points for both pictures)**

After pictures are posted, individually write a three paragraph reflection of what you learned, liked/disliked, and what could have been better or improved. This includes a Introduction, Body and Conclusion. Remember, this is a blog! Watch for: Organization, Conventions, Presentation, and Ideas. -Create a new post - Title the post: __Animal and Plant Cell Reflection__ Individually you will take quiz with CRS using the clickers to put in responses at the end of the project.
 * Step Nine: 16 pts total (4 pts for Organization, Conventions, Presentation, and Ideas)**
 * Step Ten:**

Below are the rubrics and a check list to see how you are graded for these activities.
