-Happy Test Day! :)

-You have 10-15 minutes of open study time before the test. Use your time wisely!
  This gives you approximately 1 hour & 15 minutes on the test. There are 40 questions: 5 true/false, 10 multiple choice, 10 fill in the blank with a word bank, 10 matching, & 5 drawing/short answer.

-I will collect your notebooks for grading before I hand out the test. See rubric for scoring.

-Spread out, no notes, no electronics, no headphones, no talking while tests are out, please.

-Raise your hand if you have a question or need clarification - I'm happy to help.

-When you are done you may do other homework or read quietly until everyone is finished.

-Good luck, you're going to do great!

Chapter 3 Test Study/Review Game Day (IMPORTANT STUDY MATERIALS!)

-  Chapter Outline, Jeopardy questionsConcept Map of Atoms, Elements, &  vocabulary terms to study for the test

-Chapter 3 Chemistry of Life Test Review - Jeopardy


Rules: Break into two teams. Pick a number between 1 and 10 to determine who goes first. I will tell you the category and ask a question. You will discuss with your teammates and look for the answer in your notes. When you have an answer you raise your hand, I will recognize the first person to raise their hand, and that person must answer the question. If the answer is correct you are awarded a point, if it’s incorrect a point will be taken away. Instead of the winner having control of the board we will give teams alternating turns to answer questions.  A tie breaker question will be given in the event of a tie. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins bragging rights and probably an A on the test tomorrow. :)
