2. Introduction Even your parts have parts Your body is made of cells and your cells are made of organelles Each organelle has a specific name and function within the cell A cell needs all of the parts working in order to maintain homeostasis

3. Your Task Today you will be a scientist looking at all the parts of a cell. You will : Look at the size of a cell Identify a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells Identify the organelles within a eukaryotic cell List the name and functions of the organlles

4. Process Today you will become a scientist looking at prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and the organelles in them. You and a partner will complete several tasks using the internet to explore cells. You will start by looking at the size of cells by clicking on the picture that compare cell sizes.

5. Process continued… Next you will identify a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell and their defining characteristics by clicking on the photo of both cells. You will compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in a venn diagram by clicking on the pictures of the cells. Next in a table you will identify the name and functions of all the organelles in a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell.

7. Evaluation For this project you will be graded in three different formats: You will be graded by your peer. Your partner will grade you on a 10 point system on a rubric. I will be grading you on your work with your peers. This too will be on a ten point system on a rubric. The third way I will be grading you is on your work that you complete using the information given. This will be out of 80 points.

8. Conclusion Today you learned the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. You also learned the defining characteristics of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, as well as their functions. You also learned how to work with and analyze a partner. Great Job today!
