Introduction
You complete this webquest by accomplishing five different tasks and answer questions for each task.
-
Tasks each contain a full URL
-
Each task has students answer questions, taking notes or labeling diagrams.
-
By the end of ninth grade students will understand the difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells
Task
You will exploring different websites and answering questions comparing eukaryote cells and prokaryote cells
Process
Cells Webquest Name:
Task 1 – Introduction to Cells Video Tutorial

List the 3 parts of the modern cell theory.
What type of cell are bacteria and Archaea made of?
What type of cell are fungi, animals, plants, and protists made of?
What 4 organelles do both eukaryote and prokaryote cells contain?
Task 2 – Assembling A Eukaryotic Cell Interactive
omplete the Assembling a Eukaryotic Cell interactive from the WISC online website. Follow the directions and answer the questions below as you move through this activity.
Click the red arrow on bottom right of screen. Then click each organelle to get the information needed to complete the table below.
