A practice test has been put online and can be accessed at
http://www.docfleetwood.net/anatomy/studyguides/heartpracticetest.htm

The test is only for practice, although you must put in your name. Please use your real name when you take it so I can see how you are doing. You may take it multiple times.

As a practice test, it does not include all information that may be asked on the actual test. It should, however, be a good indicator the types of questions you will see and the bulk of the content.

Have fun and study, study, study

Test on Tuesday, April 1, 2008 on all material covered in class during the year. The test will specifically get in depth on the cardiovascular system and ‘pregnancy and human development’. It will consist of material covered in class and items you were instructed to read and study from the book or provided handouts. There will also be questions from the in class presentations on digestive disorders. There is a practice test on my anatomy page to give a sampling of questions.

Read up to page 47 in the book Plan B 3.0. After each chapter you should write down the key ideas and a couple of examples/evidence. Do not get bogged down in each examples details but be sure to get the big idea and have be able to make a supported argument.

We will be reading a chapter per week, so if you want to get ahead, feel free

There will be a test on Tuesday, April 1, 2008. This is right after spring break. The test will be on the material from the ‘Inside the Cell’ book as well as material covered in class. There will be a practice test added to my biology page during break.

Go to http://publications.nigms.nih.gov/classroom/quiz/

Complete the interactive versions of the “Cells Quiz” and “Protein Quiz”.  Do all three levels.

In the protein quiz, (high school level) be sure to read the link after you answer question #4 entitled “Read about a protein whose structure was determined by X-ray crystallography.”  This should mostly be a review, so if you get any questions wrong in the protein quiz, be sure to use the links to learn the correct answers.

In the cell quiz, go through all three levels and try to answer the questions and see how you do.  Do not click the links to learn more, this is more of a pre-quiz.  We will then complete some readings and activities in class and you will retake this quiz and see if you improved.
