KEYSTONE EXAM PREPARATION - BIOLOGY
The Class of 2017 will be taking the Pennsylvania Keystone Exam for Biology during December of 2014.
Keystone Exam - Biology Vocabulary
In an effort to ensure the preparation of those students taking the exam, the students will be required to learn and recall various vocabulary terms. A link to the entire Keystone Exam Biology glossary is below. In addition, a schedule has been provided for each vocabulary quiz and the terms associated with each. Please be prepared!

In-Class Preparation:
As part of our continued effort to prepare for the biology Keystone Exam, the students will be participating in weekly lessons including but not limited to:
1. Biochemistry and the Molecules of Life
2. Cells and Cellular Organization
3. Cellular Transport
4. Cellular Division (Mitosis and Meiosis
5. Cellular Energy (Photosynthesis and Respiration)
6. DNA and its Processes (Replication, Transcription, and Translation)
7. Mendelian and Human Genetics
8. Evolution
9. Ecology
Students are encouraged to review and study at home as well. In class, we will be utilizing podcasts and study guides provided by Council Rock School District and Ms. Megan Lichtenwalner. All of the videos and study guides, as well as, Keystone Quizzes can be found at http://www.crsd.org/Page/31715.
