Project - Genetic Disorders in Organelles
Learning Intentions
- To understand how a malfunctioning organelle in a person’s cells can cause health problems.
- To communicate your understanding of scientific research using a poster and a physical model.
Requirements
With your group, choose an organelle. Research the organelle you have chosen, and find a genetic disorder in humans associated with this organelle.
Perform research
on this genetic disorder and create a virtual poster (in PowerPoint,
Paint, or a program of your choice) displaying your research. This
poster will be projected on the front screen.
Be sure to include APA
references for your poster. They can be in a separate Word document, or as a second slide in your PowerPoint.
Build a model of the cell out of papier mâché that demonstrates the genetic disorder you have researched.
