For each cell part, you need to go to a place in school. The school location should have the same or similar function in school as the part has for the cell. You need to answer the question associated with the station and get the codes for the station and fill in your puzzle.
You also need to check in with me after 6 stations. I will be in the main lobby outside the office. I will check off that you are on track to complete the assignment in time.
You have 20 minutes to complete this assignment. If you are over 20 minutes, you will get a zero on the assignment. This is not a license to roam leisurely around the school. DO NOT RUN!!! You can complete all aspects within the time without running.
CELL WALL – Protects the cell from external elements. Gives it definite shape and form. Allows certain substances in and out.
■ Location hint – Look in a place where lots of students come in and out of the school, usually from the bus.
■ Question – What type of cells is this organelle found in only – ANIMAL or PLANT? _______________________
CELL MEMBRANE – Barrier for the cell. It specializes in letting certain molecules in and out of the cell. It also keeps other materials from ever getting in.
■ Location hint – Look in a place in the school where people are allowed in and out of the school. If you were a visitor, who do you have to check in with?
■ Question – What is the key adjective that describes how the cell allows certain molecules in and out? _________________________
NUCLEUS – The control center of the cell. This is what regulates most other aspects of cell function. It is like the main operation center of the cell.
■ Location hint – What is the main control center for the school? Where are most of the key figures that run school located?
■ Question – What is the main material stored in the nucleus? _____________
MITOCHONDRIA – This is the organelle that converts energy from food into energy that is usable within the cell. It is the energy making factory of the cell.
■ Location hint – Look in a place where people are themselves converting food into body energy. Where would they sit to do this?
■ Question – What is the form of energy that cells ultimately use? ___________
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM – This organelle transfers molecules from one part of the cell to another part.
■ Location hint – What do you travel through between classe? Look on the second floor…going towards the old theater!
■ Question – The sheet refers to the ER as the “_________________” of the cell.
DNA – This is the genetic material of the cell. This contains all the information about how the cell is made and how the organism operates.
