Study Guide

Our first quiz on cells was today. Most students did well, others need to study, study, study. We are approaching the end of the year and it is time to get down to business. Homework needs to be turned in on time and students need to be giving teachers 110%.
 Remember, my policy is only retakes on Tests; not quizzes. We will have another quiz Friday on the Circulatory system. Please visit the side links for practice. I also created a study guide to help pinpoint the important information. The quiz will be in multiple choice format with EOG questions. Good Luck.
