Note
on Part D Vocabulary:
According
to various people involved in Regents Exam development at SED, we can
use the
words specific to a required lab in Part D only in an item based on
that
particular lab, and this would only be acceptable to the extent that it
was
explained in the lab. A word from one lab can not be used in items
based on any
of the other required labs. In other words, we cannot just take a
vocabulary
word in a lab and assume full knowledge of it in the way it is
understood now,
or was required in the old syllabus. The words have a context and that
must be
considered too.
For
example, a word such as mRNA can be used when asking about the
Biodiversity
lab. A student could be asked, given a
particular DNA sequence and a mRNA codon table, to deduce the mRNA that
would
be formed, but a question about its movement from the nucleus to the
ribosomes
would not be OK unless that was specifically mentioned in the lab.
A
word that does not appear in the core, but is used in one of the
required labs
can't show up on Parts A, B, or C of the same exam even though the lab
is
required during that academic year.
Using
the same example, since in the Biodiversity Lab the word “translates”
is used
in explaining the connection between the mRNA and the protein, it would
be
acceptable to see the word “translates” or “translation” in a question
that
specifically tests the Biodiversity lab, but a question on part A or B
to the
tune of “Identify the molecule that is made when the sequence of
molecular
bases originally in DNA is translated.” would not be acceptable.
