The Giant Cell Project

Each classroom will construct the cell membrane and then create a cell organelle to scale for the size of the science classroom. Cell parts will be picked up from each participating classroom and then placed in the room. Following assembly of the room, students will be invited to a "showing" and participate in a number of lab activities and a PBL.
