  • You must choose either a plant or an animal cell.
  • You will turn this cell into a place that someone can visit. Examples: Hotel, Ski resort, Amusement park, museum, etc.
  • Use the Internet resources page to research information on cells, and to find graphics of cells, cell parts, and processes.
  • You must describe the structure and function of at least 8 cell organelles or processes using creative and humorous analogies based on what the part or process would be at your attraction. Don't simply state the cell part function.
    Ex. While staying at our resort please remember to tip our Lysosome ladies generously. They are the best cleanup crew around. They use special digestive enzyme cleaning agents to destroy any dirt or grime!
  • You will produce a trifold brochure to entice people to visit your cell attraction. Use a brochure template in your word processing or draw software to create this project.
  • You must include a real graphic of every part you use as well as a graphic of what it is at your cell.
  • The front cover of the brochure should include the name of your cell and a graphic of your choice. It should be attractive and eye catching. Remember you want people to visit your cell!
  • The back cover should have a map (a labeled cell diagram) and fictional directions to your cell.
  • The set up of the other pages in your brochure is up to you. Be certain to use all pages.
  • Please see the two sample brochures: for proper page set up and overall design. Simply close the window when finished looking at the sample documents to return to this page.
  • Use correct spelling and grammar throughout the project. An exception might be if you alter the name of a cell part slightly for creative purposes. Ex: Lysolady = Lysosome.
  • Humor & creativity are strongly encouraged!
  • You will turn in a printed and properly folded brochure to your teacher.
  • You will also print out a brochure to present your project to the class.
  • Click rubric to see how you will be graded.
