Fungi & Intro to Plants Study Guide

Tessa and Flash - Blog Technical Consultants


This week's study guide is brought you by the efforts of Brenda K and Birthday Girl - Caroline Q

1. Have you read the two chapters?

2. Take notes on the two chapters and organize your notes

3. Check over and review all the handouts - often times test questions come from the handouts

4. Make sure you visit the review section for both chapters at the end of the chapter

5. Make sure you know the answers to the questions and definitions from both weekly vocab sheets

6. Visit the DOE's web site http://www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/search/default.asp?YearCode=%25&GradeID=%25&QuestionCategory=&FormSubmitted=yes&ReportingCategoryCode=%25&ShowReportingCategory=&originalpage=0&page=0&answers=&intro=no&advanced_search=yes and do a search for biology or science, tech & engineering for fungi and then plants. Some good questions that could be quite easily grabbed and incorporated into our test - hum..... "You might want to go to that MCAS site Mr. C. showed us. I saw a question/s from there on the test."
