2. Introduction Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] You are an engineer who has been given the extremely important task of redesigning the city of Fort Collins after a major flood destroyed the entire city. You have to make sure that you rebuild all of the essential parts of the city. In order to do this you will be comparing the city to a cell, incorporating all of the cell organelles as essential parts of the city. In order to do this you will research the given cell organelles and you will also research the city of Fort Collins. Afterwards, you will create a visually appealing PowerPoint presentation comparing and contrasting the parts of a cell to the city of Fort Collins. Good luck and have fun!!

6. Conclusion Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] Congratulations! You have completed your Cell Analogy Project! You have learned everything about cells, their organelles, and the functions of each organelle. Also, you researched Fort Collins, providing you with key information about the city you live in. Next, you were able to compare and contrast a cell with something you may be more familiar with, like a city, to help better your understanding. Making a PowerPoint is another difficult task that you have completed! I can guarantee that you will use PowerPoint Presentations in future academic situations and careers, possibly engineering now that you have also learned more about that!!!

9. [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion Introduction This lesson was designed for an education technology class, but also one that was implemented in a 9 th grade Biology classroom at Lesher Junior High. The purpose of this project is to help students learn about cell organelles, while also applying it to their own lives. Giving the students the opportunity to apply a cell to something they are familiar with helps them realize what the functions of the cell organelles are and why they are each necessary for the cell to survive. They are asked to be an engineer who has been given the extremely important task of redesigning the city of Fort Collins after a major flood destroyed the entire city. They will have to make sure that you rebuild all of the essential parts of the city. In order to do this they will be comparing the city to a cell, incorporating all of the cell organelles as essential parts of the city. In order to do this they will research the given cell organelles and you will also research the city of Fort Collins. Afterwards, they will create a visually appealing PowerPoint presentation comparing and contrasting the parts of a cell to the city of Fort Collins.
10. [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This lesson is anchored in eighth grade science (especially Biology) and involves science, technology, and critical thinking skills. If there is not technology available at a given school, the PowerPoint presentation could be turned into another process such as building a model or drawing a detailed picture. This activity can also be used in other grade levels, if there is a seventh grade advanced science course, or a struggling ninth grade science course this project can also be done here. The students will need to know basic knowledge about a cell and why cells are essential to life. They should also know that every living organism is made up of cells and that each cell has many organelles. They will learn everything else about the cell later on. Also, the students should be proficient in PowerPoint production and should know how to actively search the internet. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion Learners
11. Curriculum Standards [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page The students will cover some of the science standards listed on the K-12 Academic Standards Website : Science Standard 3: Life Science: Students know and understand the characteristics and structure of living things, the processes of life, and how living thing interact with each other and their environment. Specifically: Grades 6-8: 3.3. There is a differentiation among levels of organization (cells, tissues, and organs) and their roles within the whole organism. 3.4. Multicellular organisms have a variety of ways to get food and other matter to their cells. Also, although not listed on the standards website, the students will also be demonstrating several technology standards. They will be proving proficiency in Microsoft PowerPoint and they will also show that they can effectively use the internet to search for information. Also, the students are required to come up with all of the parts of a city that relate to cell organelles on their own. This shows that the students will use critical thinking, creative production, organization, and comparison skills to complete this assignment. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion
