Cell Organelles – Facebook Style…

The Project

We are currently studying all of the organelles that make up Eukaryotic cells. In keeping with the 21st century, your job is to create Facebook pages for each of the organelles. This task will require creativity and imagination. The purpose of this activity is to learn the names, locations, and functions of all of the organelles in a Eukaryotic cell.

The Requirements

A. The project must include the following list of organelles:

·  Cytoplasm

·  Nucleus

·  Chromosomes & Chromatin

·  Nucleolus & Nuclear Enevelope

·  Ribosomes

·  Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough and Smooth)

·  Golgi Apparatus

·  Lysosomes

·  Vacuole

·  Mitochondria

·  Cell Membrane

B. Incorporate the following components into your Facebook pages:

1.  Organelle Name

2.  Location of Organelle in the cell

3.  Hand drawn picture of the organelle

4.  Description (function of the organelle)

5.  Friends of the Organelles (who works with the organelle?)

6.  Sample Wall Posts

C. Creativity Counts:

1. Each “Facebook” page needs to be neatly hand-drawn out.

2. Use color to make your pages interesting.

3. Spelling and information presented must be accurate.

USE THE BACK OF THIS PAGE AS AN OUTLINE TO ORGANIZE YOUR INFORMATION. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ENTIRE OUTLINE, EVEN IF YOUR PARTNER DID THAT ORGANELLE.
