COL Research - Day 1

A Day in the Life of an Organelle Project Intro A quick introduction to our FINAL PROJECT OF THE YEAR :O Project Instructions and Rubric Here are the instructions and rubric for the full project. This is also assigned on google classroom. You don't need to fill in the blue dots on these two pages. test test Research Day One - History and Characteristics of your Organelle A quick explanation of today's research, as well as a guide to the resources I have provided below. Links to Cells Unit Lessons Organelles!Organelles ArticleThe Amoeba Sisters Biology4Kids.com CLICK THE TITLE TO OPEN THE LINK. The page this link will take you to is a general overview of cell structure, but there is a menu on the right side of the page with pages each organelle. Just find your organelle in that list and click on it. Biology4kids Helpful YouTube Videos Biology: Cell Structure I Nucleus Medical MediaEukaryopolis - The City of Animal Cells: Crash Course Biology #4 The organelle I have chosen for this project is... Where in the cell is your organelle? For example, is it usually in the center of the cell, does it surround the cell, etc? Using words, describe what your organelle looks like. For example, what shape is it? Does it look like something else - a bean, a ball, etc? How big is your organelle compared to the whole cell? Is your organelle a different size depending on the type of cell? For example, is it one of the largest organelles or one of the smallest? Is it larger or smaller in animal cells vs. plant cells? Is your organelle found in eukaryotes, prokaryotes, or both? Remember that eukaryotes have all of the same organelles as prokaryotes, plus many others. Look back at the Introduction to Cells lesson and the Amoeba Sisters videos as a reminder. Identify two main parts or structures in your organelle. There are usually multiple parts inside of each organelle. The resources I have provided give detailed information on each organelle, so they should help answer this question. Who first discovered or identified your organelle? Try typing "who discovered the _ in cells?" into google. But remember that scientific discoveries are usually made over a period of time, by multiple scientists. Try to find who first identified the organelle's existence. What year did they discover or identify it? Again, remember that these discoveries happen over a period of time and are made by multiple scientists! Who first named your organelle? Sometimes the scientist who first discovered the organelle gave it a name we don't use anymore! Find out who gave it the name we use now. Has your organelle’s name changed? If so, what was it originally called? Sometimes the scientist who first discovered the organelle gave it a name we don't use anymore! What other names has it had?
