Biology II Midterm Study Guide 2013-14

Study Hints: Organize all of your notes, worksheets, labs, etc… USE THEM TO STUDY! Write things down, make flashcards, quiz yourself, quiz each other Bring something to read, you will not be permitted to leave early & must be quiet!

You will be expected to answer 2 out of 4 open response questions, allowing 20 minutes for each question. They will be graded using a modified open response rubric.

***Open response topics have a (**) next to them. Be sure to study these topics in depth***
