Eukaryotic Cell Analogy Powerpoint Project
Early biology students often feel overwhelmed with learning each of the organelles of eukaryotic cells and their functions. One way to improve their success is to help them make connections to other ideas they are already familiar with. This project encourages students to formulate their own analogy to track the function of each organelle. Example analogies include a factory, shopping mall, and even the TV show Jersey Shore.
