This week we will focus on exam review. This exam is cumulative. To prepare for this assessment you should use your notes, old test, notes, textbook and your old blog posts. There are also powerpoints on the class website for all the chapters covered. Also refer to the exam review sheet I emailed out last week. There is also info on the exam format on this document.
Please use the comment section of this blog post to ask questions on exam content and review material. I will make sure to look through your comments and answer all questions at least once a night. Feel free to answer each others questions as well!
Good luck and happy studying!

More on the Human Body.....
As you you continue on in your investigation of the human body, I thought you might find these videos on various systems and phenomenons of the body interesting.....if anything else, I hope they teach you a few things that you didn't already know.
The Human Body is AMAZING!!!!
Please take a few minutes to watch each video (they are all 3-4 minutes long), and write down any questions you have. We will be discussing all of these clips on Monday.

An In-Class Assignment on the Human Body
Your Assignment:
Research your topic today in class and put together a 3 to 4 minute powerpoint presentation on your organ/system that you will share with the class tomorrow.....
Ready. Set. Go!
This is a VERY broad assignment, but you need to use time both effectively and efficiently.
NO DISTRACTIONS!
Focus your research on information found on this website: http://science.nationalgeographic.com/science/health-and-human-body/human-body/
Images can be taken from others places, though.
Your presentation should provide others in the class with an overview of your topic. Assume your audience knows nothing. Make sure to keep it interesting!
Topics you might want to include in your summary are:
· Main functions of your system/organ
· Explanation of your systems anatomy (visual aids will be helpful!)
· Interesting facts on your topic
· External factors that can affect the function of your organ/system
· Diseases that can effect your organ
· Development of your organ/system (are you born with it fully developed? Is it continuously changing growing??)
· Fun/interesting facts
