    Biology
  2. Deadlines!! Write these down NOW!!! You cannot miss any deadlines!
  3. Blueprint Deadline: Friday 10/4/13 Proposal Letter Rough Draft Deadline: Typed - Tuesday 10/8/13 Proposal Letter FINAL Deadline: Typed - Friday 10/11/13 Final Project Deadline: Thursday 10/17/13 NO LATE ASSIGNMENTS ACCEPTED NO EXCEPTIONS!
  4. Now for the details!!!...
  5. Your school district wants to increase funding for its science labs. The local business, SG Biotechnology Co., has offered to pay for the construction of the design with proceeds to go to the school district. The biotech company wants to get the local community interested in biology and has decided to have a design contest.
  6. Participants must design an attraction (amusement park, golf course, Santa’s Workshop, etc.) modeled after either a Plant or Animal cell. The different cell organelles and structures must be realistically incorporated into the design. In order for designs to be considered, blueprints, a proposal letter, and a presentation must be submitted to the biotech company by the proposal deadline.
  7. Directions for the blueprint and model Your design MUST cover the following cell structures: 1. Cell membrane 2. Mitochondrion 3. Nucleus 4. Nucleolus 5. Nuclear envelope 6. Ribosome (originate in nucleolus; free floating and on RER) 7. ER – differentiate between RER and SER 8. Golgi apparatus 9. Vesicle 10. Vacuole (in plant cell, it is called the Central Vacuole) AND…. If the design is based on an animalcell, it must also include: centriole and lysosome; If the design is based on a plantcell, it must also include: chloroplast and cell wall
  8. Incorporate the organelle’s structure or function into your design. Be creative!! For example, if you did a miniature golf course, the vacuole could be a water feature; the endoplasmic reticulum could have a tube that transports the ball to another location.
  9. Make a blueprint (written plans of the project) Shows the analogies you will be using along with the layout of the project with the relative shape and size of each organelle. Make sure the path that leads from one area to the next links organelles whose functions relate to one another. Your blueprint can be drawn manually or done electronically. Do not copy information or diagrams from the internet and call it your own!
  10. Create a Model Once the blueprint is complete, you will create an actual model of your project. Your model must include a LABEL for each cell structure or organelle (previously listed) clearly stating the name, function, and analogy for that structure. Model is neat, professionally done, appears time went into the project, names, title, period and date included on project Structures/Organelles make sense with analogies and follow a clear path
  11. Directions for the proposal letter : Describe your idea behind the design Explain how the design corresponds to the organelle’s function in the cell Explain how the park would run and why you placed the organelles in the order you did. Write the proposal as a business letter proposal. Use professional language; address and sign the letter accordingly. Be persuasive! Proposal should be 2-3 pgs. long, typed, and double spaced, 12 pt font in Times New Roman
  12. Presentation : You will pitch your design to the class. Your presentation should be 4-6 minutes, explain your idea and convince us that your design is better than all the others. Dress professionally&come prepared! DO NOT READ YOUR LETTER FOR YOUR PRESENTATION!!!!! (Automatic “0” if you do!) Creativity - Unique ideas for analogies with imaginative, colorful design
