Cell City Project – You are the Designer!

Assignment:
Floating around in the cytoplasm of a cell are small structures called organelles. Like the organs
in your own body, each one carries out a specific function necessary for the cell to survive. In
order to survive, the cell must be able to interact with its surroundings, use energy, produce
materials and manage waste. You will create a poster that compares a living plant cell and its
organelles to a city, school, factory, ballpark, etc. The place you choose must use energy,
produce substances and manage waste. The organelles will represent the parts of your
place that carry out these processes.
Your poster must include a creative title with the word “cell” somewhere in it. It must have the
shape of a plant cell. All of the parts of the “city” should be labeled with the cell part and the
analogy you chose to represent it (put parentheses around the cell part). Your poster must be
colorful, neat and creative. It should be done on a piece of 14” by 22” paper. Have fun
designing your “cell city.” Be sure to include all of the organelles listed on the attached sheet
and the appropriate analogies.

Procedure:
_____Step 1: Select your analogy. (A cell is like a ______________)
_____Step 2: Complete the cell city analogy worksheet
_____Step 3: Make a rough draft of your poster idea (should have the shape of a plant cell)
_____Step 4: Create your poster on 14” by 22” poster board (colorful, neat and creative)
_____Step 5: Label your poster with the cell part and analogy (put parentheses around the cell
part)
_____Step 6: Select a creative title (the word “cell” is in the title)
_____Step 7: Attach the completed cell city analogy worksheet and grading rubric to your poster

Do your best and please ask for any help when needed.
