Cell Organelle Webquest (Friday 12/14)

Introduction

Crikey, ya' know you're all made of a bunch of cells. Well, we're going to go out and hunt down some of those cells. We'll travel through them and we'll learn what you're really made of. Hold on, we're in for a rough ride!

Task

G'day, mate! We're getting ready to take you on the journey of your lifetime! It's been donkey's years since I've done this! You will be shrunk down to the size of a water molecule. This means you will be able to move into and out of a cell easier than wrestling with a crock! By jingoes! Let me tell you about the time … oops! Tell ya' later. Hold on and we'll be movin' any tick of the clock.   

              The trip'll be bee's knees.

Procedure

To complete the first part of your assignment, grab your Cell Organelle Research Worksheet. You’ll need to take notes in your notebook as we travel (Copy questions and answer them in NB or Split the info and type it out then email your half to your partner!).  Let’s get to the duck’s guts.  We’ve got the information you’ll need to finish the assignment in the resources below. 

To copy paste the chart:
- open document
- right click - copy image
- paste into word
- use text boxes to fill out chart 
(this is only one option to complete the ws.  you can hand write it, type it out, its up to you.  Just make sure its in your NB on monday.) 

Resources

Ya' can't go anywhere without a guide. Make sure ya' look at the information below. That'll keep ya' from getting up a gum tree. Crikey, I don't know how I could guide ya' without them.

Cell Alive Interactive Cell 


The Virtual Cell - The Virtual Cell is an online Cell Biology textbook. It provides students with an interactive journey through the cell.

The Cell and Its Organelles - Play the Incredible Megacell Game. 

Animal Cell Interactive - Explore an animal cell. 

Animal Cells - The schematic represents an idealized animal cell, e.g., a liver cell. The columns to the left and right of the labels contain links to discussions of the particular structures.

Cells and Organelles - An overview of plant and animal cells.

Drag and Drop Cell Organelles - Test your knowledge of the cell by matching each structure with it's function by dragging the organelles to their proper spaces.
