Cell Structure Interpretation

In this project, students will

  • research the parts of a cell (Nucleus, Vacuole(s), Mitochondrion, Cell Wall, Cell Membrane, Chloroplasts)
  • determine their essential function
  • create a graphic with labeled images that represent that function (for instance, the Mitochondria are the “power plants” of the cells, so they could be represented by an image or graphic of a power plant.

Students will use the online editor, Pixlr to create the graphics.

Label the parts of your “Cell.”
