---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Mitosis Comic Strip Name__________________________________________ Pd_____

The student will illustrate the steps of mitosis by creating a comic strip.

The comic strip must include labels of the stages of mitosis through some method (character dialogue, thought bubbles, schematical labels, etc.)

▪ Interphase ___ 2 pts

▪ Prophase ___ 2 pts

▪ Metaphase ___ 2pts

▪ Anaphase ____ 2 pts

▪ Telophase & Cytokinesis ____ 2pts

The comic strip must have a storyline (1 line per frame) 1pt x 7= ___ 7pts

The comic strip must be a minimum of 7 frames. 2 pt x 7 = ____ 14 pts

The comic strip must be in color ___ 5pts

The following structures must be labeled

▪ Spindle fibers ___ 1pt

▪ Metaphase plate (equator) ___ 1pt

▪ Cleavage furrow ___ 1 pt

▪ Daughter cells ___ 1pt TOTAL POINTS ______/ 47pts= ______%

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Stages of Mitosis Model Name________________________________________Pd______

The student will create a model of the stages of mitosis using yarn as the primary medium for construction. Please use a rigid material such as cardboard for this assignment (not paper).

Each stage of mitosis and a brief description of that stage must be included (2pts each)

▪ Interphase ____

▪ Prophase ____

▪ Metaphase ____

▪ Anaphase _____

▪ Telophase & Cytokinesis 2 pts x 2 _____ 4 pts

The following items must be labeled (1pt each)

▪ Nucleus____

▪ Cell membrane ____

▪ Centrioles_____

▪ Nuclear membrane _____

▪ Chromatin _____

▪ Sister chromatids_____

▪ Spindle fibers _____

▪ Metaphase plate (equator) _____

▪ Cleavage furrow______

▪ Daughter cells_____

Neatness ___ 5 pts Materials(cardboard 8” x 11”) cardboard ___ 5 pts

TOTAL POINTS ______/ 37pts= ______%

3. Cell Analogy Poster Name __________________________________________________Pd_____

The student will create a poster with an original drawing of an animal cell. The poster should be created on ½ Poster Board.

| ANIMAL CELL |

| |

| |

|Drawing |

| |

| |

| |

| |

|Label |

| |

|Pics |

The following organelles must be drawn and labeled on the cell (2 pt each)

|Animal cells |

|Lysosomes ____ |

|Cell Membrane _____ |

|Nucleus ____ |

|Nuclear envelope _____ |

|Nucleolus _____ |

|Centrioles _____ |

|Mitochondria _____ |

|Cytoplasm _____ |

|Ribosomes _____ |

|Golgi apparatus _____ |

|Rough ER _____ |

|Smooth ER _____ |

The next step is to cut out pictures from a magazine or print pictures that represent the function of each organelle and paste it on the poster. For example, the cell membrane is selectively permeable so it can be equated to a bouncer/security guard. Each picture is worth 1 pt x 12= ____ 12 pts

Neatness ___ 5 pts Materials(1/2 poster board) ___ 5 pts

TOTAL POINTS ______/ 41pts= ______%

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Phosholipid Bilayer Model Name ______________________________________________Pd_____

The student will create a 2D model of the phospholipids bilayer using 8” x 11” any other non-perishable materials (consider beads, q-tips, straws, pipe cleaners, etc).

The following component should be shown and labeled in the model (2 pts each):

▪ Hydrophilic heads _____

▪ Hydrophobic tails _____

▪ Carbohydrate ______

▪ Integral proteins (extend throughout the membrane) ____

▪ Peripheral proteins (on the surface) _____

Include a descriptive caption to explain function of the membrane ______4pts

(Be sure to include the key terms (2pt each): diffusion____, homeostasis____, and bilayer___)

Neatness ___ 5 pts Materials(cardboard 8” x 11”) cardboard ___ 5 pts

TOTAL POINTS ______/ 35pts = ______%

5. Cell Diversity Collage (poster) Name _____________________________________________Pd____

The student will create a collage of pictures to illustrate the diversity of cells. **Some examples are in the section 3A Notes, last 4 figures**.

The collage should have the following 7 sections:

Cells that:

1. Connect

2. Cover and line

3. Move organs and body parts

4. Store nutrients

5. Fight Disease

6. Gather information

7. Facilitate reproduction

Each section is 2 pts each. 7 x 2= _____ 14 pts

Next find pictures of cells that carry out each function and attach them to the board. Each section should have 2 pictures. Label each picture with the SPECIFIC CELL NAME. Pictures with the name label are 4 pts each

2 pictures x 7 sections = 14 pictures

14 pictures x 4pts = ______ 56 points TOTAL POINTS ______/ 75pts= ______%

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Organelle Eviction Notice Name______________________________________________Pd_____

The student will compose a business letter written to an organelle explaining why the organelle is being evicted from “The Building Block Apartment Homes”. All tenants (organelles) in the Building Block Apartment Homes are responsible for “working” for their room and board. Write an eviction notice to an organelle explaining what it is supposed to do and why it is important that their job must be fulfilled in order for the apartment homes to stay in good condition. Be sure to include how they work with other organelles, molecules, body parts, etc.

Choose one of the following organelles to evict:

Nucleus, Cell membrane, Golgi apparatus, Ribosome, Lysosome, Microfilaments, or Mitochondria

Business Letter Format (with fictional addresses) ____ 10 pts

Body of letter (2 paragraph minimum) ____ 10 pts

Description of organelle (shape, where it’s located, etc.) ____ 5pts

Detailed functions of the organelle ___ 5pts

Personification of the organelle ____ 5 pts

Typed Letter ____ 5 pts

Creativity ____ 5 pts

TOTAL POINTS ______/ 50pts= ______%
