Product Performance: Your piece of work will be incorporated into a class movie, which will be used as a teaching/learning resource.

Extension:
Explain:

Use a Venn diagram to compare and contrast eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.


Apply:

Use your knowledge about cell structure and function to make a "Cell Analogy Project", for example The Cell Factory or The Cell Rock Band.


Interpret:



Perspective:

With a partner develop a list of advantages and disadvantages of the two major cell types (prokaryotic and eukaryotic).


Self-Knowledge:

Write a reflection on the strategies you used to make sense of the content from your part of the cells reading.
