Cell PartsA Technology Integrated Lesson
Do-NowDo-Now: Answer the question in a complete sentence.Name an organelle and explain its function in the cell.The is important to the cell because .
Today's ObjectiveSWBAT describe in writing the functions of organelles bycompleting a cell organelle analogies worksheet with100% accuracy.
Essential Question?How do organelles help the cell function?Think of the Avengers and the roles they play in theS.H.I.E.L.D organization.
Cell ModelDirections: In your notebook, use this templateof a cell as a guide to help youcreate what you think a cell lookslike. Include the organelles and placethem where you think they will go.(Don’t forget to label theorganelles).There is no right or wrong answer here.Do your best.
CellExplorer: Mission 2Your mission is to escape from the cellbefore your ship runs out of supplies.Test your knowledge of the organellesand their functions by navigatingthrough the cell to locate the correctorganelle that matches the question orstatement given.Record your personal percentage inyour notebook so that you can trackyour progress.
Cell PartsAvengers Style
The Nucleus AKA Nick FuryThe nucleus protects the DNA of the celljust like Nick Fury protects all of themembers of the Avengers information.What other connections can youmake with Nick Fury and thenucleus?
The Nucleolus AKA The HelicarrierThe Nucleolus is inside of theNucleus and makes ribosomes. Justlike the nucleolus contains theribosomes, the Helicarrier holds theAvengers, the S.H.I.E.L.D. staff,and the Quinjets while in transport.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum AKA Tony StarkThe SER (Smooth EndoplasmicReticulum) is responsible forbuilding lipid molecules, hormonesand other molecules in the cell. TonyStark is an inventor and buildsgadgets and the infamous Iron ManSuit.
Mitochondria AKA ThorThe main role of the mitochondria isto create energy. Thor is the god oflightning, which is his energy source.The mitochondria is also known asthe “power house” of the cell
Think Fast.Tony Stark is like the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulumbecause he A) Is smooth with the ladies.B) Is an inventor and builds stuff.C) Has a energy source inside him that gives himpower.
Cytoskeleton AKA The HulkThe main role of the cytoskeleton isto maintain the cell’s structure andshape. The Hulk is strong (like thestructure of the cytoskeleton) andhard to defeat.
Cell Membrane AKA S.H.I.E.L.D Security TeamThe cell membrane is the boundary thatsurrounds the cell and regulates whatenters and leave the cell. Much like howthe S.H.I.E.L.D Security Team protectsthe Avengers and the agents aboard theHelicarrier and controls who enters.
Golgi Apparatus AKA Captain AmericaThe Golgi Apparatus modifies proteinsand sends them where they need to go.Captain America is the (for the lack ofa better word) Captain of theAvengers. He organizes and tellssquads where to go.
Think Fast.Fill in the blank.The Golgi Apparatus proteins andthem where to go.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum AKA QuinjetThe Rough EndoplasmicReticulum (RER) is responsiblefor transporting proteins, just likethe Quinjet is responsible fortransporting the Avengers to theirspecial missions.
The Cytoplasm AKA Phil CoulsonThe Cytoplasm is jelly-like stuff thathold everything together in a cell.The role Phil Coulson plays inS.H.I.E.L.D is to be sure everyonestays together and works as a team.
Ribosomes AKA The SuperpowersThe role of Ribosomes in the cell is to make proteins. They are like theSuperpowers the Avengers have because the superpowers allow theAvengers to do all of the amazing things they do. Without proteins, cellswouldn’t be able to do the amazing things they do and they would die.
Think Fast.True or Nah.The Cytoplasm is a hard structure inside a cell thatthe organelles move through.
Another Analogy
Cell Analogy WorksheetDirections:For each cell organelle listed, create an analogy (fill in the blanks) to helpyou better understand its function. Think about the analogies you saw today(Avengers and Harry Potter)Example: Nick Fury is like the Nucleus because he protects all of theinformation for the Avengers.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum AKA Tony Stark The SER (Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum) is responsible for building lipid molecules, hormones and other molecules in the cell. Tony . For each cell organelle listed, create an analogy (fill in the blanks) to help you better understand its function. Think about the analogies you saw today
