Homework

These assignments are all from your textbook, Biology, by Sylvia Mader, 7th 
edition. Unless otherwise specified, questions to be answered are in 
the "Reviewing the Chapter" section. Due dates for 
assignments/tests/subtests will be adhered to as our 
schedule permits, but may be subject to change. I will give you as much 
notice as possible for any such changes.

NOTE: There are many very useful animations in the "LINKS" section. They are 
from a different text 
book so I have cross-referenced the chapters. To access, click on "links", 
click on 3rd link, click on 
"animations" (list of all animations available), then click on selected 
animation.

(Please note that a subtest will be given on each review day. The test may 
be 20 points or 80 points, and may be given at anytime during the class. 
Your job is to be prepared! As I have done all year, I will be after school 
everyday from 2-3pm, to review or preview any questions that
you may have. 
Remember, unlike regents bio, the burden of study is on you. On days in 
which there are double periods we will either do a lab/lab test or work on  
practice AP exams). Please keep in mind that your group essays will be due 
by Fri April 23.
