A Thematic Review of Biology

1. A Thematic Review of Biology How can we put our H.O.U.S.E in order?

2. Directions • You will receive several cards with pictures and fill-in descriptions of topics that we have studied throughout the course. • For each card, look up/fill in information for each card, then check with your team mates to make sure that you all agree • Write the topic/title of the topic in the box on the top of each card. • Now consider how these topic connect to the themes we’ve discussed throughout the year. Pick one card for each topic and fill out a description slip • Tape your card and description slip to the appropriate theme poster.
