Computer Lab Assignment
FAST 3 and Unit Test Review
HSA Biology
OBJECTIVE: Students will work through various online activities in order to prepare for the FAST 3 and their Unit Test next week.
WARM-UP: Find two websites that have practice Biology HSA questions. List them here:
1)_______________________________________________________
2)_______________________________________________________
Today you will be reviewing for the FAST 3 test, as well as your Unit Test in Biology. You will need to complete each section by the end of today in order to receive full credit for your classwork today. In addition, Section 4 will count as a Quiz grade. If you do not complete this section today, you will receive a 0 on the quiz.
Section 1- Indicator 3.3.1- Meiosis and fertilization
Use http://bio.rutgers.edu/~gb101/lab10_meiosis/meiosis_web/index10.html to help you with the following questions:
Section 2- Indicator 3.3.2- Mendelian Genetics
Section 3- Indicator 3.3.3- genestraits
Section 4- QUIZ
Section 5- Indicator 3.3.4- Mutations/genetic engineering
Section 6- Indicator 3.5.3- Ecology
Section 7- TEST YOURSELF
To really prepare for next week, you should complete as many practice tests you can on the following HSA Indicators:
