Digestion only has 9 questions for this Midyear Exam.
My advice, focus on all the other material!
To keep the exam within the time frame of one block, we had to keep the exam within 100 questions. It is 100 questions, freshly made by moi, and it’s all multiple choice. See the other blog entries for more info on start times and practice exam links etc.
Block 2.4 start time is 12 noon
Block 1.1 start time is still 10:05 and we’ll go into lunch hour (pot luck) if need bee.

Biology 12 midyear exam, will cover everything we’ve done 🙂 check your course outline to see the chapters covered
(off the top of my head, ch 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, part of chap 20 (p 380 381) most of ch 25, first part of ch 26 and definitely page 375 and everything there about thyroxin!)
Again, Midyear Exam dates are Block 1.1 Thurs Jan 25th, block 2.4 Fri Jan 26th and since it’s long and you only have one block to complete it, come early, stay late (block 1.1 we’ll use jo reads and into lunch to noon max; block 2.4 we’ll start at noon and end when you want).

Start at 3:41 if you just want the low-down on radiation and Rutherford’s experiment
Chapter 7.1 is all about Radiation and the 3 types of Radioactive decay. This video should help you understand the textbook explanation of the same.
Chapter 7.1 and 7.3 will be included in the midyear exam. Skip 7.2 on half-life.

Since Moodle is down today, we’re heading to lab 303 or the Learning Commons (block 1.1) (meet in 307 first) to find out what happens to us meat eaters, a few thousand days from now.
Using your Digestion Notes booklet and the internet, agree or disagree with the following statement, backing it up with research and citations at the end:
“Eating meat is a personal choice and provides vital nutrients for the body you can’t get anywhere else while maintaining a healthy and robust economy”.Â
