Using Microsoft Word, you will create a single page flyer that informs your reader of the vital role your specific structure plays in the life of the cell and how that, in turn, affects daily life of the living plant or animal. These must contain at least 2 graphics. Make them fun! You can include puzzles or anything that will engaged your reader. These will be handed out at the Science Fair next month. This assignment must be printed and turned in to me by Friday, September 11th.

 * Using PowerPoint and the information you have learned over the last few days in class, create a 6-slide presentation about either a plant or aminal cell. This presentation should include all of the parts, a BRIEF description of each part's function, image of the type of cell and all of your cited sources. This presentation will be due on Monday September 14th. This should take up the majoirty of your class time.

I have assigned everyone into 5 different groups. In these groups, you will use Movie Maker to create a digital video about Active and Passive Transport! This will take up the majority of your classtime. Use this time to research the two processes and gather your information. Remember, this is a GROUP activity. Everyone will be evaluated for participation, as this a a good portion of your grade for this assignment.


 * Must be at least 2 minutes in length
