Checkpoint p. 45 - #1-7
Students who were missing yesterday will need to catch up questions #1-4 as well. If you have questions, leave me a comment or see me at school. Please make an attempt to answer all questions thoroughly.
Study tips for 7C and 7P:
- Re-read pages 27-45
- Write definitions of key words in your notes (key words are often bolded in the text)
- Provide examples of key concepts (i.e. concept: structural adaptations; example: a giraffe has a long neck to help it to reach leaves high in trees for food)
- Have a friend or parent test you by asking you questions from the material contained in your textbook or study notes
- Review material from your peers' presentations - if you can't remember, ask them!
- Re-read your study notes, summarize the text..... review, review, review!
- Remember the activities we did outside (slithering, locomotion, pulse rate, etc.) and what we learned by doing these activities (how does a snake use its muscles to move? What effect does exercise have on your pulse rate?, etc.)
- Be thorough in your studying. Make sure you have full and complete answers, definitions, etc. (one or two-word answers will not earn you full marks on an exam, so please don't study this way)
- Set a time to study, and reward yourself for a job well done. Take occasional breaks for snacks, exercise, or other activities to keep your mind fresh before returning to your task.
- Try to anticipate what types of questions might be asked on the exam, and create practice exam questions for yourself to answer.
