How to study for the final

The final is worth 10% of your grade!

According to the blueprint of the biology final, here are the topics you can expect to see, along with their weights:

As you can see, ecology (topics 1 and 2) is worth over half the test, while older topics from semester 1 and early in this semester make up the rest.

Today in class, you completed a practice final.  You received your work from this review week.  You have a packet that has everything you need to know.  NOW you need to USE it.

To USE the information in your packet, try one of the following:

1. Make flashcards of key vocabulary or difficult questions.

2. Use my quizlet flash cards to quiz yourself and practice on key vocabulary.

3. Make a "cheat sheet" (No, you can't use it during the actual final) of all information that is relevant on the final.  See the images below to guide this effort.

4. Ask a sibling/friend/parent to quiz you by asking you questions from the practice final.

5. Draw big pictures of big ideas or processes, such as respiration, photosynthesis, the water cycle, the carbon cycle, protein synthesis, mitosis, reproduction, food webs, trophic levels, etc.  This will make these ideas stick in your brain better.

6. Review your old tests and quizzes to identify your strengths and weaknesses on the topics above. The unit 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 tests contain content that will be on the final.

Ecology Quiz 6.1 Review

1. Take the practice quiz by clicking here. 

For each question, select the best answer.

When you click "Continue" the next page will tell you the correct answer. If you get the question correct, move on with the next question on the quiz. If you get the question wrong, make a quiz correction on your worksheet (the same way we do for regular quiz and test corrections).

2. Practice writing a C-E-R by clicking here. 

Practice writing a C-E-R by choosing one of the examples on the practice quiz.

3. If you finish the practice quiz and the corrections before class is over, practice the vocabulary and quiz yourself on this quizlet website. 

Go to Test or to Space Race to practice your fluency.

Natural Selection Simulation

Step 1: Start the Natural Selection Simulation 
1. For each page you visit during the simulation, make sure you write down the information on your lab worksheet.
2. When the simulation is done, you may start it again and create new birds and habitats to see how your results change.
