Microscope Quiz

Turn in reflection (from Monday)  Do this now if necessary.

Open the Cell Theory Power point on Mr. D’s website – in Class Presentations –

1st Semester.

Watch Cell theory & take notes.  Especially note what the scientists did.

Tomorrow – sign up for jigsaw presentation (p. 67)

A study aid for the cell is to draw and label a cell or make a 3D or edible

cell model. (For edible cells, let teacher know ASAP.)

Do this until the period is over.

 

This is a student developed drawing or model to illustrate the cell and its components.  Its purpose is so that students can study it to help identify the parts.

For a maximum of 10 points  (work book p. 70)–

Students will provide a drawing with all the organelles clearly labeled and clearly DRAWNNO computer generated or copied drawings are allowed.   The grade will be based on how many of the organelles are included, the neatness, and ability for the viewer to differentiate the parts.  Students can make flash cards instead if they choose.

 

For extra credit up to 15 points total –

A 3D model of the cell should be constructed.  This may be done with a partner and the parts should once again represent the organelles.  A key may have to be included.  This cell may be edible and then students get the benefit of extra credit and food – a true “cell experience”.  For full credit at least 10 of the 13 parts should be included.  The teacher must be given advance notice of this option to spread out the cell treats
