Plant and Animal Cells Booklet
CellsInternet Project
Directions:
- Each student is assigned a type of cell: prokaryotic, plant, or animal
- Create a PowerPoint or PhotoStory presentation containingillustrations, pictures, and information about the cell.
- Your presentation should contain at least 8 slides including a title slide and a slide for references. Anytime you get information, video, or picture from a site, you must include the website address in your reference list.
- Use bulleted ideas instead of complete sentences or paragraphs.
- Your presentation MUST include illustrations, pictures, or videos.
- Below, you will find cell parts and topics that need to be addressed for each type of cell. Include pictures and information about the cell and its parts. Information can be found by the use of approved internet databases as well as library books, your notebooks, and throughout Chapter 7 in your text book (pp. 185 – 193)
- Do your own work. Be creative, original, and efficient. No two presentations should be alike. Save all your files in your folder on the N: Drive! Your PowerPoint or PhotoStory should be saved as your name.
