A cell is like....

"A cell is a ____________"  This will be your main metaphor in a slideshow that you will write.  For each cell part or organelle, you will pick another metaphor that fits within the main metaphor and you will explain why you have chosen it.    For example, If a Cell is a City (that is the main metaphor) then the Nucleus is City Hall because it controls everything that happens in the City.

You may also use comparisons like a cell is like a factory, or a cell is like an office building, or a cell is like a school. 

Regardless of what analogy you use, you need to pick one and come up with a theme, using all 7 different cell parts or organelles.

 

Cell membrane - outside

Cell Wall – strength and structure

Cytoplasm – what takes up the most space

Nucleus – the brain

Chloroplast – the fuel

Mitochondria – the engine

Vacuoles – storage

 

(Bonus for using more than these!)  If you search the internet for cell parts or organelles, you can find several more that are taught in higher level sciences.
