…city, movie set, rodeo, basketball court, hospital, human body, car, library, nuclear power plant, fitness gym, concert, and even a prison!

Once the brainstorming phase was completed, they created poster boards to illustrate their analogies and presented them in front of their peers. What a fun way to learn the functions of a cell!
