Tuesday, November 4th

In AP Biology, we reviewed and played a game to get ready for our test. Here is a practice test (and essays) that you can take to get yourself ready for tomorrow's test on cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

In physical science we started playing our midterm review games and everything went really well! I will include some pictures of the games tomorrow. Midterm is Thursday!

Monday, November 3rd

I realize that I have been slack on my postings for a couple of weeks, but I will try to get started again.

In AP Biology, we worked through the questions that went along with our cellular respiration lab from last Friday. We also began reviewing for Wednesday's test on Chapters 6 & 7. This will cover the topics of cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

A couple of  helpful review videos on Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis:

In Physical Science we began designing and creating our review games for the midterm on Thursday. You will have all day Monday and half the day Tuesday to finish this game and the questions. On the second half of Tuesday and all of Wednesday we will play these games, so ask some good review questions! The specifications of the game are listed out below.

Midterm Review Game 

  • Can be any game format (board game or otherwise)
  • Must be able to be played in 10 minutes
  • Must include 25 review questions
  • Must be finished by 45 minutes into class on Tuesday
  • Turn in five questions to be used on the midterm
  • Will be a separate 50-point grade

Tuesday, October 14

In AP Biology, we went over the notes from Chapter 7 - Photosynthesis. We watched the following video that does a good job of explaining photosynthesis.


In Physical Science we finished up our notes for Ch. 6, which talked about metallic bonds and how to name various compounds. Then we did some practice problems for naming compounds on pg. 174 in our book - there will be a few of these on the final exam!
