Cell OrganellesWebQuest

Kim Howard

IntroductionEven 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

Your TaskToday you will be a scientist looking at all the

parts of a cell.

You will :Look at the size of a cellIdentify a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cellCompare and contrast prokaryotic and

eukaryotic cellsIdentify the organelles within a eukaryotic cellList the name and functions of the organlles

ProcessToday 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.

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.

EvaluationFor 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.

ConclusionToday 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!
