For those desiring to retake part of the Biology exam, the instructions are as follows:
1. Please type up your answers to questions 34-71. Single space is fine, most are one-word. You do not have to retype the questions. Most of the answers you need are on the Powerpoint slides posted on the class website; disorders and anatomy/structures are all covered there. 2. Please type up your answers in short paragraph form to essay questions 72-76. You may use slides or the text to help you, but summarize rather than plagiarize (copy). Answers should be at least three sentences long and "explain" where asked. Single spacing is fine. For #72, remember the cardiac cycle can be listed in steps or a sequence that includes the correct order of the parts of the heart and lungs--it does not have to be broken down into exactly eight steps. 3. Please print out your new set of answers and hand them into me during class this Wednesday, (4-25) with your original test. I will regrade your test based on your new responses to questions 34-76, and hand it back with your new grade next Monday, April 30. This past week, we had Dr. Nordberg and Dr. Darrow come to teach our students about CPR and life-saving behaviors. They did such a great job, and I am so thankful that they gave their time!
Homework for this weekend is to study for the open note/flashcard Test on Monday. Even though it is open notes, students should definitely study by looking over the slides and materials we have completed in class over the last three weeks. It is very important that they feel comfortable with all the material. The exam will cover Chapters 20, 21, and 22: skin, hair, bones, muscles, circulation, respiration, digestion, excretion, and immunity/lymphatic system. Students can use any flashcards they made, as well as any (handwritten) notes they took on the Powerpoint slides. (These note-taking worksheets are attached at the bottom of the Documents page, if they lost their copies.) If you are open to it, YouTube also has a good many video clips on the human body and the major functions of these systems. Upcoming Work will include Chapters 23 and 24, which are the last official homework assignments for the year!! Chapter 25 is on human reproduction, and will be extra credit if turned in before the last day of class (no worksheet, just the questions right out of the book, like old days :) There will not be a full exam on those chapters, just an open book vocabulary quiz. Additionally, Mrs. Stanford has graciously volunteered to come in and discuss nutrition with our class! Quick Update!
