Tuesday - short final on Thursday

Due to the need to have all failing grades posted by Thursday our final exam will be on Thursday. There are ten questions, many of which have been on previous exams. However, each question is worth ten points. The purpose of the exam is to review the year's work and hopefully to help grades.

Yearbooks are for sale right now, they cost $12.00. The money needs to be in immediately.

Today we talked about Punnett Squares and probability. The students did a probability chart using red and white beans. Then they did a trait chart on dominant and recessive traits and which ones they possessed. It was fun.

Test Questions
1. Define hypothesis
2. Draw an uncharged atom.
3. Name the four stages of matter.
4. What is lava?
5. Write the names of the planets in order. Earth, Neptune, Jupiter, Mars, Pluto, Saturn, Venus, Uranus, Mercury
6. Name the three types of rocks.
7. What is one main difference between plants and animals.

9. What is the difference between vertebrates and invertebrates.
10. Fill in this Punnett Square The character trait is for a hitch hiker thumb. TT is dominant tt is recessive You will be working with a heterozygous pairing on the top and the side. Fill in the chart completely and then write to explain what the chart means. (How many offspring will have hitchhiker thumb, how many will not.)
