Cell City Analogy: Match the parts of the city (in red) with the parts of the cell.
In a far away city called Grant City, the main export and production product is the
steel widget. Everyone in the town has something to do with steel widget making
and the entire town is designed to build and export widgets. The town hall has the
instructions for widget making, widgets come in all shapes and sizes and any citizen
of Grant can get the instructions and begin making their own widgets. Widgets are
generally produced in small shops around the city, these small shops can be built by
the carpenters' union (whose headquarters are in town hall). After the widget is
constructed, they are placed on special carts which can deliver the widget
anywhere in the city through specialized widget railways. In order for a widget to
be exported, the carts take the widget to the postal office, where the widgets are
packaged and labeled for export. Sometimes widgets don't turn out right, and the
"rejects" are sent to the scrap yard where they are broken down for parts or
destroyed altogether. The town powers the widget shops and carts from a hydraulic
dam that is in the city. The entire city is enclosed by a large wooden fence, only the
postal trucks (and citizens with proper passports) are allowed outside the city
Performance Task
Create your own analogy of the cell using a different model.
Some ideas might be: a school, a house, a factory, or anything
the student may use as a representation.
