Pd. 3-6 (Section BIO) Assignments

It's that time again! Finals! So just as I did for semester 1, this page will allow you to practice for the final exam AND earn extra credit points toward your final grade. How this works is for any of the following reviews you score a 90% OR HIGHER will earn you extra credit points.

***On or before May 25 you will print out the extra credit page that shows all your scores.

***Then with a highlighter, highlight only those assignments you scored 90% OR HIGHER.

***Points will be awarded as follows:

00-20 questions earns you 3 points
21-30 questions earns you 4 points
31-40 questions earns you 5 points
41-50 questions earns you 6 points
51-60 questions earns you 7 points
61-70 questions earns you 8 points
71-80 questions earns you 9 points
81-90 questions earns you 10 points
91-100 questions earns you 11 points

Some reviews will not show your best score. You will have to click on the "+" sign which will show all your attemps made.

END OF THE YEAR FINAL PROJECT!!!!!! 309 points total (10% of total grade) with A LOT of extra credit points available! Have fun!

Because this is a very large assignment worth a lot of points. I am giving you the option to work with another student from any of my classes (Pd. 2-Pd.6) if you wish. If you would like to work by yourself, you may do that as well.

Rubric has been completed! Check it out below!

I wil place you into "Kingdom" groups. As a group, you will research and design a presentation about your assigned Kingdom. Use the PowerPoint template below. Add addtional information, design, and pictures as needed to create a perfect presentation.

You will have 60 minutes! Work quickly but efficiently! Use textbooks in addition to the internet. Textbooks are quicker, sometimes more accurate, and even easier to understand.

Email the completed PowerPoint to me at [email protected]

Kingdom Archaebacteria
Kingdom Eubacteria
Kingdom Protista (Protozoa)
Kingdom Protista (Algae)
Kingdom Protista (Funguslike)

TRANSCRIPTION ANIMATIONS

For this assignment you will be creating a bell work worksheet for a fellow classmate. You will create 10 questions in a matching format (type it out and get extra credit). In order to complete this assignment, you will first need to do the following:

1. Take out your notebook.
2. At the top of the page title your notes "Transcription Animation Notes".
3. You will visit a total of 3 websites and watch 3 different animations regarding the transcription.
4. For each website you visit, write the title of the website (see below) and take notes on the steps of transcription. Pay attention to enzymes involved, when and why does it take place, the actual steps involves, the reactant and products.
5. For each website you have to write different information. There may be times where you have to back to revisit a website to get additional facts.

Site #1 Title: Transcription

NOTE! For this animation, no words or steps are given. I thought this would be a great site to start with because it shows you the overall process while keeping it simple. For this animation, you might just write the reactants needed or involved. Then come back.

http://www.stolaf.edu/people/giannini/flashanimat/molgenetics/transcription.swf


Site #2 Title: DNA Transcription
