CELL ANALOGIES PROJECT

Read through the Cell Analogies project handout to better understand the requirements of this project. Pay particular attention to the scoring rubric so you know what I will be looking for when I grade these projects.

Use the PowerPoint presentation below to complete the Cell Analogies Project notes guide.

The Cell Is Like a Biotech Company

I strongly suggest using Google Drive's Presentation application to create and store your presentation since you will need to put a live link to your finished presentation on your TSOTS website.

If you like, you may use my sample Cell Analogies PowerPoint as a starting point for your project.

PowerPoint Project Template.ppt

You may also, of course, create your own PowerPoint or Keynote from scratch and then upload it to your Google Drive.
