Grade 9 | 3 Lesson Periods (Plus Homework)
The purpose of this activity is for students to apply and deepen what they already know about cells in order to create a print for a t-shirt. The requirements for the activity are that the design needs to be appealing and encourage people to buy the t-shirt, and it should represent a departure from the typical sketch of a cell that is found in textbooks. Accordingly, students are compelled to highlight aspects of cells that they deem more important than others and express them in a creative appealing manner, relating concepts in a critical fashion.
Develop knowledge of cells as the fundamental unit of living organisms
Observe, interpret, and represent cell structure
Understand the structure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

Make connections between the structure of cells, aesthetics, and a successful t-shirt design
