Cell Wall
School
Zone
Cell Wall
• The cell wall provides additional support
and protection for the cell. The school
zone signs around areas where schools
are located provide extra protection for the
students to make sure they are kept safe.
Cell Membrane
School
Walls /
Building
Cell Membrane
• If the school was a cell, the building itself or the walls
would be the cell membrane. The cell membrane is the
boundary between the cell and the environment. The
building walls are surrounding the whole building and are a
boundary between the school and outside. Also, the cell
membrane uses selective permeability to let certain things
and others out. The entrance doors to the school let
students in and others out.
Nucleus
Principals Office
Nucleus
• The nucleus in a cell contains the DNA and is
the main area of structure and function in the
cell. In a school, the main office/principal’s office
is where important decisions take place and
keeps the school running properly.
Curriculum
DNA
Books / Homework
DNA
• DNA is the master set of directions for making
proteins in a cell. This can be compared to the
schools curriculum (directions) that the teachers
follow to make good students.
Cytoplasm
Hallways
Cytoplasm
• Cytoplasm is located all throughout the cell and
supports organelles. In the way that it is all over
the cell, the hallways in schools are like
cytoplasm and go around the school, which
represents the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Classroom
Endoplasmic Reticulum
• The endoplasmic reticulum is a site within a cell
where chemical reactions occur. In our school
representation the classrooms represent the ER
because we compared chemical reactions to the
students learning in reaction to being taught.
Ribosome
Teachers
Ribosome
•The ribosome's in a cell carry out the function of
protein synthesis, meaning they create enzymes
and proteins by following the directions of the
DNA. Teachers represent the ribosome's because
they make smarter kids by following the directions
of the curriculum (DNA).
Mitochondria
Students
Mitochondria
• Mitochondria breaks down sugar into energy.
Students represent mitochondria because they
eat food/sugar which turns into energy.
Lysosome
Security
Lysosome
•In a cell, lysosomes digest food and old cell
parts, meaning it gets rid of them to make sure
the cell stays working properly. Security guards
represent these lysosomes because they get rid
of the bad kids to keep the school safe and going
well, like lysosomes get rid of food.
Golgi Body
Guidance
Office
Golgi Body
• In a cell, Golgi bodies sort and package proteins.
In our representation the guidance office is like
the Golgi body. In the guidance office students
are “sorted” into their different classes and put
with other kids in these classes (Packaged).
Vacuole
Trash Cans
&
Vending Machines
Vacuole
• In cells vacuoles store food, water, and waste.
The vending machine and garbage cans
represent these vacuoles. Vending machines
store food and water, and garbage cans store
garbage/waste.
Chloroplast
Cafeteria
Workers
Chloroplast
• Chloroplasts capture light and energy to
produce and store food for a later time (photo
synthesis). Cafeteria workers make food for the
students and also save the food for other days,
like how chloroplasts save food.
