Keystone Exam Practice Questions Summary

These past two weeks I have been TERRIBLE at doing daily posts.  It has been a crazy April though on MULTIPLE levels!!

We have been going back and forth between ecology questions and Keystone practice questions.

We ALL (probably me more than you) are ready to rip our eye balls out... but....

Sooooo.... Here is a summary of ALL the Keystone Questions from this past week!!  (to minimize how many images I added to this post I combined them - If these are hard to read, click on the actual image and it will "pop out" and you can see it better.)

Friday April 22nd - Evidence for Evolution Daily Question Quiz

Here we go - Evidence for Evolution Daily Question Quiz

NEXT up.....   Log in to STUDY ISLAND and take the "Ecology Pre-Test"

Thursday April 21st - Evolution Wrap Up

It's been a crazy past week with the choir kids out last Thursday - Monday and then the assembly yesterday all the while attempting at getting us all on the same page.  I decided to just do a wrap up post on all the "evidence of evolution" stuff.

Here were the daily questions from Friday, Tuesday, and Wednesday

  

And here are ALL the notes on Evidence for Evolution.  Remember, these went along with the book work you did  - you did NOT need to write these down in your notes.

Some the YouTube clips that we didn't get a chance to see since I did not see you Wednesday. 

Today was wrap up time for this topic - Daily Question Quiz tomorrow and into our FINAL topic next week!!!  Ecology :)

Wednesday April 13th - Macroevolution intro (Isolation Mechanisms)

Don't forget..... Daily Question Quiz TOMORROW!!!!

We watched for the first couple minutes and last couple minutes of this crash course that describe #1.  What a species is and #2.  How reproductive isolation aids in the development of new species.

Then took notes on the different isolation mechanisms he referred to:

AAAAAnd then had kinda sorta a BLAST looking at different mating rituals of nature:

Well THAT was an interesting class period :)

Tuesday April 12th - Finish up Microevolution

We had the same reminders and goals as yesterday.  We just went through the rest of the forms of microevolution.  Our daily questions.....

We had a bit of review about natural selection:

Then moved into more examples of microevolution
