October 26-30

AP Biology

1. Complete extraction of key points from text about prokaryotes and eukaryotes
2. Find or create a chart describing the structure and function of cell parts



Collect notes from video

Journal Entry Assignment:

Create a Cell Analogy for a “Super Cell.” Include all cell parts found in plant and animal cells (but make note of which cell type they actually belong in).

Make sure the parts of the analogy work together like the parts of the cell.


Create a visual and written representation of your analogy in your journal. You can use paints, pens, pencil crayons or paste in paper, yarn, etc to create your SUPER CELL.
