2. Information Sources
All living organisms are composed of
prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells,
which contain structures that carry
out specialized functions.
Use the following resources to
examine similarities and
differences between the two main
types of cells, and the specialized
structures found in each.

3. The Student Activity
Choose either a prokaryotic or eukaryotic
cell to study.
• Using the resources on the previous
slide, gather the information needed to
complete the graphic organizer.
• Analyze the cells’ structure and how it
relates to its function.
• Only fill out the first three columns.

4. The Assessment Activity
• Take small-scale and go large-scale!
• Your cell is now a “city”.
• Your project instructions are to analyze how a cell is like a city, and
create a video, poster, or model to demonstrate those similarities.
• Use the rubric to make sure you are covering all points needed.

5. Enrichment Activities
Once you are done, you and a
partner will do a scavenger
hunt around the school.
Using the provided labels,
find areas or people that are
analogous to the organelles
of a cell. Once found, take a
picture with the person /
place labeled.
