DAS Cell Cycle Project

Cell Cycle Project

You will have a partner for this assignment. Please know that this is a summative grade (replacing labs).

You will fill out a student project survey about how your project went so I know if work was distributed and accomplished in an equal and orderly fashion.

Use the following information to make an Adobe Spark video showing the complete cell cycle and cancer information (A-B grade). You may want to start with a Google Slides presentation, so that both group members can work on it at the same time. If you do not do an Adobe Spark your highest possible grade is a B (so you can choose whether or not to do the extra work on Adobe Spark for an A)

You need to have:

The 6 stages of the life cycle of a cell
Main points and identifying characteristics for each
demonstrate each and include at least 1 picture
Must have one picture demonstrating phases (hand pictures)

Pics from the internet- source->web address- end slide or at bottom of screen

Your choice to add narration or music- make sure it adds to presentation and does not distract.

Cancer slides (2):

Identify a specific type of cancer (recommend using websites given on Google Classroom)
Main characteristics and symptoms
Treatment options

No more than 1 minute in length!!
