This project helps to reinforce student learning of the parts of the cell (plant and/or animal). It is interactive. Students are required to complete an online quiz for either the plant or the animal or both, and a jigsaw puzzle of either cell or both. Student will email his/her final project to 3 other students in the class. The final activity is to submit to the teacher via email a table created in Office or Google docs with the following information inserted in appropriate columns: name the part of the cell, a brief description, and its image.
