How to review for your final – 2011
FINALS SCHEDULE – All science finals will occur on June 2nd in the morning!
- Complete the final review sheet: finalreviewsheet_2011
- Consider this a practice final. If you can comfortably WRITE your answers for this, you will be fine for the final!
- Play the jeopardy games posted:
- Review your tests and quizzes, particularly those from early in the year!
- End of Year Reviews
- Come to review sessions leading up to the final. COME WITH QUESTIONS! I’m happy to review, but I won’t reteach. (An appropriate question: Could you review prophase I of meiosis?; an inappropriate request: Could you teach me “cells?”)
- Use the resources posted under “Course Help and Links.” These include videos, review games, additional information, and other resources.
- Use these videos (Although they’re aimed at AP students, they’ll quickly review a lot of what we learned in class): http://www.hippocampus.org/Biology;jsessionid=497C3BD4D6D0D26B5289F24EF0098468
- Look for CONNECTIONS between units! Pick vocab words from different units and say how they relate to one another. Example: If we see diffusion occurring in a variety of places, then be able to discuss it in those places.
