1st week back

getting back into the swing of things.
Everyone should have a notebook and it should be set up
Below is the list of what should be on the first pages

Final test & extra credit over break

Just as an FYI, I ended up throwing out 8 questions from the final.  So the total is out of 50 points instead of 58.  The highest score was a 49. 

Over winter break, go to the zoo or on a hike, or to a museum or something cultural.  Bring proof that you went, along with a paragraph talking about what you saw/learned and why it was fun or important to go.

Happy Holidays!!  Be safe :)

Final

Final test will be Wednesday December 19th.  It will be a 60 question multiple choice test.  Complete the "Student Self Assessment" to help study for the test.
Use the Campbell Biology site to help study (Chapters 1, 4, 5, 13, 14, & 15)
Another really great site goes along with the Mader Biology book.  Click here for access.  It has some great animations, but they don't yet have quizzes attached.  The earlier edition of the book does (click here for access to that edition)
The basic concepts are

• Cell structure and function
• Membrane structure and function
• Darwin and Evolution
• How Populations Evolve
• Speciation and Macroevolution
• Origin and History of Life
• Taxonomy, Systematics, and Phylogeny

Fixing things

Grades are now completely updated.  
Go to helpful links for the student view page to check your grade

If you are missing something, now is the time to fix it! :)

To fix the 5 point quizzes (diffusion, osmosis, etc) -- click here

For the Chapters on Campbell biology, if you did not receive 100% that is because you are either missing parts or didn't get 100% on each key concepts quiz.  click here to fix those.

Catch up day

Today is the day to fix things in the notebook and on the Campbell site.  

You should have two stamps on every page up to page 94.  If you don't go back and fix the pages so that I can check them before the end of the week.

Also, you should have Chapters 13, 14, 15, 4 & 5 done in Campbell Biology.  If you have anything less than a 80% on any one of the tests or quizzes RE-DO them!!! :)

(if you complete the entire chapter tests and get at least an 80% I will give you bonus points)

If you have everything done, move onto Chapter 6 on the Campbell biology site
