1) Cell Analogy Project: Work on your portions of the PowerPoint presentation. Aim to complete at least one slide at home tonight for one organelle and its analogy. Refer to the example below for the written portion of a PowerPoint slide on the mitochondria. Cell Analogy Project due Friday, Dec. 3rd. You MUST be prepared to share your presentation on this day.
Example: Mitochondria are similar to Power Plants in a city. Mitochondria are pod-shaped organelles that contain enzymes used to extract energy from nutrients for the cell to power its chemical reactions. A power-plant has large pod-shaped smokestacks the let out materials produced during the manufacture of energy. The power plant produces energy to ‘fuel’ the city, just like the mitochondria does for the cell.
2) Any missing labs must be handed in by the end of this week, Friday, December 3rd. If you have not completed Lab 8: Introduction to the Microscope and Lab 9: Plant and Animal Cells, you must do so ASAP.

1) Cell Analogy Project (chart on pages 1 and 2 or the handout must be fully complete by Monday, November 28th). We will be working on the PowerPoint Presentations in class on Monday and Tuesday.
2) Final Cell Analogy Project (PowerPoint and Project Handout) due on Friday, December 3, 2010.
3) Complete any missing/incomplete labs ASAP. This includes LAB 8: Introduction to the Microscope and LAB 9: Plant and Animal Cell Lab. Posted below is some material that will help with each lab.
LAB 8: INTRODUCTION TO THE MICROSCOPE LAB
Fully complete Parts 1 to 3 of the lab. Complete the analysis and conclusion questions on loose leaf paper and staple it to the lab package.
LAB 9: Plant and Animal Cell Lab Conclusion
CONCLUSION:
Formulate a minimum of one paragraph that provides a summary of this investigation using the CEI format explained below.
CONCLUSION MODEL EXAMPLE:
CLAIM: Plant and animal cells share some common structures that serve the same function. They also have different organelles that are unique to them and are needed to maintain life within that type of cell.
EVIDENCE: During the lab, we viewed plant and animal cells. The plant and animal cells both had……..that were visible. The plant cell had some structures that were different such as…..
INTERPRETATION: This reveals that plant and animal cells share common organelles to carry out basic life functions such as respiration. The different organelles are needed to account for differences in functions that must occur within each cell. For example….
