Biomes Video Project

Make sure to create a short video clip (2 minutes) for your biome brochures.  Your video should include one example of a abiotic factor, a plant, and animal.  Additionally, briefly describe an ecological issue that affects your selected biome.  You can use websites such as Go!Animate.com and Xtranormal.com.  You can also use a digital camera or camera phone to create your video.  Below is an example for the desert biome.  If you selected the desert biome, please note this is a basic example.  You are required to include more detailed information.  If you have any questions, please contact me! Thanks!

Video works!

The video worked.  I converted it to both .avi and .wmv.  When I inserted it to the PowerPoint presentation, I used .wmv.

AP Biology Test Format

The AP Biology test date is approaching fast!  I know most of you are wondering about the format of the test.  View the following video for more information:

Answer the following questions about the video.  You can email me the responses, message the responses to me on Facebook through our page or write your responses and turn them in during class.

1.  What are the two parts of the test?  How much is each part worth for your overall score?
2.  How long is the multiple choice?
3.  List the tips on how to do well on the multiple choice.
4.  What are grid in questions? What can you use during this portion?
5.  How do you grid in fractions and decimal points?
6. How long is the free response portion of the test?
7.  List the tips on how to do well on the free response.
8.  How long should you take on the long free response? How about on the short free response??

Make sure to create a student account on apscore.org.  You will be able to view your scores of the AP test in July.  Additionally, use the AP student website to access practice tests.  You can access this website by using your college board account.  Thank you!
