Cell Project Assignment

Remember that the following three pieces are due by Friday, February 13th:

1. The model of your cell. It needs to be 3-dimensional and should be a scale model. Remember it NO LONGER has to be 1 meter big.

2. The presentation which will teach others about your type of cell. This should include which organelles perform which characteristic of life.

3. The story/song/journal entries that tell the life of your cell from the cell's point of view.

If you have questions about the project, you can post there here.

Have fun!
