This week starts STAAR testing.

Be sure to check the hall for testing room assignments as well as for what class I will be in because we will not be in our room most of the week!

Finish your review packet! The answers are still posted on last week's post.

B Day,
Test Friday!!!!

Some final thoughts before the test next Wednesday:
Review some every night.
Get sleep!
Also, you are invited for breakfast before Biology STAAR:
May 15th from 7:15-8:15
Rm 335

Some of you asked for additional resources to study.
I really like www.bozemanscience.com. There are  for all the topics covered in Biology podcasts for this year (freshman).

You can do it! I believe in you!!!!

Web-based Games

1.    The Cell Cycle Game: Read the background information or just play the game. A fun way to            review the amazing cell cycle-complete with regulator enzymes!    http://nobelprize.org/educational_games/medicine/2001/

2.    The Genetic Code: Read the background information for a better understanding of the incredible structure and function of DNA! Play the game to gain mastery of how the code works.  This will really help you when you return to CRHS rested and ready for biology!      http://nobelprize.org/educational_games/medicine/gene-code/

3.    The Cell and its Organelles: Join cells from all over at the Super Cell Academy! You’ll enjoy this great comic book style game with MegaCell!
