Childrens Museum of Science

Life Science Department

Arlene Perez,
Curator, Director

Thank you,
You have been hired to create a display in the Childrens
Museum of Science, in the Life Science Department. The item of
display will be showcased to Children of all ages, this or course
means adults. We know that your display will be professional and
accurate in its content. Thank you again in your participation
You and your partners will be creating a cell model of both a
Prokaryotic Cell and Eukaryotic cell. There are specific organelles
that we would like portrayed with your cell as well. We will
enclose this list in your package. Included with your model you
must give information on the Cell Theory, basic information of
Cells in General and then basic information on both Prokaryotic
and Eukaryotic cell. In your display, the organelles of the cell
need to be labeled and a description of their function displayed.
Again remember that the target audience is for both young
children and adults. You must also provide a compare and
contrast on the two types of cells.
Thank you for joining our team. We welcome you and your
service.

Sincerely,

Arlene Perez

A compare and contrast on the types of cells
Model look neat and professional
Information must look neat and professional
*you will be given two posters to work with, you may use more
but you will have to provide any extras.
*all materials will be provided by you. I can provide-Glue,
scissors, markers, Tempera paint, paint brushes, tape.
Each section of Timeline is for a daily Grade
The Museum Display of the Model and Poster is a lab grade
The Gallery Walk evaluations is an Exam Grade
*This information will be on the 6weeks exam

Timeline for Project-You will receive a daily grade for each

section
9/29-9/30-Class know/needs know poster-This will be done
together as a class.

9/30/15-General plan of how you will create your model. What
materials will you be making your model with, and who will be
doing what.
