Continue studying for final exam. Be sure to answer the drosophila questions based on the data from all classes (handed out in class). These will be collected on the day of the exam, and the material will be on the exam.
TEXTBOOK COLLECTION ON THE DAY OF THE EXAM!
Final Exams schedule
Please see the updated June calendar for the exam schedule during the week of 12 June.

Grade 9s – one 8.5″ X 11″ double sided notes page is permitted. Must be hand-written or hand-printed, not photocopied or machine printed.
Science 9 – exam will cover chemistry and electricity, safety and scientific method, with smaller sections on reproduction and space. Chapters 1- 3 and 7-9, safety and scientific method, will make up most of the exam, with smaller sections on chapters 4-6 and 10-11.
Science 10 – exam will cover chemistry and physics, as well as safety and scientific method, with a smaller section on energy transfer in natural systems. Chapters 4-9 will make up the majority of the test, with smaller sections on chapters 10-12.
Biology 11 – exam will cover material since the mid-year exam, plus evolution, safety and scientific method. Chapters 26-30, and parts of 31-33 and 36 will be covered, as well as a small section on plants, evolution, safety and scientific method. The fruit fly work we did will be on the exam, too.
Biology 11 29 May 2017
Continue sketching plant anatomy and making observations. Read the section on plants in the textbook.
Be sure you can answer all 8 questions that we covered in class (jigsaw activity):

- By what process do plants obtain food? Be able to explain the process briefly.
- What green (usually) compound is required for the process in #2 to occur?
- What waste(s) are given off by plants as a byproduct of the process in #2?
