Part 2: Gather Your Facts 

 

To complete your poster (and find your suspect!), you will need to know the following:

 

 

CRIME: What has this organelle done? Why is this organelle "wanted"? In other words, what does it do for the cell?  Or, what is the organelle’s function?

 

 

 

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: What does the organelle look like? Provide a description and an actual picture.  The picture can be a mug shot (printed picture) or a sketch from a sketch artist (hand drawn).

 

 

 

LOCATION: Where should we look for the organelle?

Which of the following types of cells is this organelle found in?  Make sure that you have explored plants and animal cells. 

 

 

 ACOMPLICES: In other words, which other organelles/structures help your organelle do its job?

 

Part 3: The Roundup 

 

Share the information you have discovered by completing a wanted poster. The poster should include, but is not limited to:

 

1. A picture of your organelle/structure (drawn or taken from a web site or book)

2. Answers (in your own words!) to all 4 items in part 2

3. 3 resources cited (just the name of the book or website link is fine) on the back of your poster

4. You are encouraged to be creative – decorate your poster, make it look old. For ideas or help in making your wanted poster visit the following website (http://www.glassgiant.com/wanted/ ). Remember the more effort and creative your poster is the better chance of getting full credit.
