Gives an outline for students to research a cell structure and explain its function. Students also brainstorm an idea for a 3-D model for their structure picked. 

Exploring the Structures and Function in the Cell

Narrow ruled paper

What is the Function of the Cell part? How does the structure help the function? 

What materials do you need to make sure the structure can show its function?

Draw an image of your final design. Label which parts requires which materials. When complete you can start building!

Now its time to pick a structure and investigate! You will conduct research about the structure and function of your cell part and then make a 3-D model

List the Structure you picked. Draw a picture of it. 

Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. Cells are composed of many different structures. These structures are highly specialized and have specific functions they must complete everyday. These functions are essentially the jobs structure completes. Just how Nurses, Teachers, Mail carriers, and secretaries have different jobs, cell structures also do! 

In Animal cells the different structures include: - Nucleus - Ribosomes - Rough Endplasmic Reticulum - Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum -Microtubule - cytoplasm - Mitochondrion -Lysosomes - Golgi bodies - centrioles

Exploring the Structure and Function of Cells 

Conduct Research on the Structure. What is the Structure made out of? List the materials you need to make the structure.
