Assessment Task 3
Cells are the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism. Cells contain organelles which each have a different job. Cell organelles work together to help the cell work. Cells and their organelles are microscopic so they are not visible without a microscope… unless we build a 3-D model!
You will become an expert on the structure and function of one cell organelle. You will research and build a prototype of a cell organelle.
You will build an InfoGraphic as a poster to accompany your cell organelle.
We will work together with the Design and Technology classes, teachers and the Theatre Props experts to construct a 3-D hanging model of cell. This cell will have organelles that move and light up and could even have cellular sounds to accompany it.
This model and accompanying InfoGraphic will be used to help improve the understanding of cells and how they work.
First you have to become experts in the Science of cell organelles.

Brief
Assessment Task 3: Extended response research assignment.
Produce an InfoGraphic, which explains to others the size, structure and function of your chosen cell organelle.
Criteria for the Organelle InfoGraphic
This InfoGraphic should be A3 in size and will accompany your organelle when the 3-D model is built.
Include:

Criteria for the Organelle InfoGraphic
This InfoGraphic should be A3 in size and will accompany your organelle when the 3-D model is built.
Include:
- Name of organelle
- Include a diagram to show the structure in detail.
- Use arrows or other symbols to show how this organelle works.
- Show the input materials and the output materials.
- State where the input materials come from
- State where the output materials are used and what they are used for.
