Final Project

This was a fun project that I will use with my kids. I had fun doing it and got to learn how to use google sketch up. It wsa harder than I thought to get it all to work but was gratifying and a good way to help students comprehend their plant cell anatomy. Here is the assignment I would give:

Here is a sample for the assignment that I would expect being turned in.

Cells Project:

Using Google Sketchup, make a plant and an animal cell. These cells may be creative but must have all the appropriate organelles and the identifying characteristics. You can do this in a representational way, like a house with furniture (couch equals mitochondria and so forth) or using 3d text or any other way that you can think of. Google Sketchup is on school computers and also can be downloaded for free at http://www.google.com/.

Your project should include:

· 1 plant cell
· 1 animal cell
· Labels for each cell’s organelle
· A key to explain what object represents which organelle (only if you choose to have representational objects).

Grading:

· Has a plant and an animal cell (5 points)
· Plant cell labeled correctly (10 points)
· Animal cell labeled correctly (10 points)
