Choose an organism you would like to research.
It can be anything you would like: cow, plant, insect, dog……
2. Find out what domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Gather pictures from each level from the most general to most specific. You may want multiple picture for each level. 3. Look up a cladogram for a common ancestor. You can also collect pictures for your cladogram. 4.

Review the following: Understand how cells take in nutrients to grow and divide and make needed materials-cellular respiration, photosynthesis, mitosis. Be able to explain how cells are organized into tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms. Explain how tissues, organs, and organ systems serve the needs cells have for oxygen, food, and waste removal-diffusion, osmosis, endocytosis, and exocytosis. Describe the function of major organs for the organ systems and how organ systems work together. Understand the role of chromosomes and genes in the process of inheriting a specific trait-genetics, DNA, RNA, mutation, replication of DNA, Guanine, Cytosine, Adenine, Thymine, and Uracil. Recognize selective breeding produces plant or animals with desired traits-hybrid cross of 2 different breeds, co-dominant, incomplete dominant, pedigree, Mendel, Franklin, Watson and Crick.

Your study will be accepted as an extra credit grade only on the day you test.
This test will be you final exam grade for the first semester. Review the following:
Be able to describe the difference between a pure substances and mixtures-element, compound, mixture, homogeneous, heterogeneous, solution. Distinguish between physical (density, melting point, boiling point) and chemical changes (reactivity, combustibility). Distinguish between physical changes (state of matter) and chemical changes (color, gas, precipitate). Demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Mater. Explain the relationship between potential and kinetic energy. Compare and contrast forms of energy-heat, light, electricity, mechanical motion, and sound. Explain transformations of energy in terms of the Law of Conservation of Energy. Describe heat transfer through collision of atoms, through currents that facilitate heat transfer, through space-conduction, convection, radiation. Diagram the parts of a wave and how the parts are affected by changes in amplitude and pitch.
