**Completing Extra Credit ** __[|www.USATestPrep.com/member-login] __ (Always use "panthers12" for the "account ID") On USA Test Prep there should be AP Biology assignments already linked to your name (//**if not, see me and tell me you signed-up. I cannot assign you work until you create an account!**//). Take the quizzes to get extra credit points. // For a 10 Question Quiz: "total answers correct / 2” is how many points you earn. (MAX = 5pts) // // For a 5 question Quiz “total answers correct” is how many points you earn. (MAX = 5pts) // __ . __ Use USA Test Prep resources, your notes, textbook, or other resources to answer the questions. **//I trust that you will not share answers.//** ( People have cheated and lost all extra credit opportunities in several of the past years!) . **You can keep trying the quizzes until MIDNIGHT of the day the MARKING PERIOD ENDS.** I will score quizzes before progress reports and give points at the half-way mark...but you can still redo those quizzes for more points (if less than 5pts.) . M.P. 3 Extra Credit
 * I count your individual highest score out of an unlimited number of attempts. (So if you try three times and score a 2, a 4, then a 3...I would credit you with 4 points.) Ignore any average or other score reporting the site calculates. **__ I round down for extra credit…so 9 out of 10 gets 4 points. __

Unit 2 Extra Credit This unit covers MANY sections in USATestPrep. Unfortunately, I cannot give extra credit for all of them. So here are the rules for Unit 2: (2.B.1.) Cell Membranes (2.B.2.) Homeostasis and the Cell Membrane (2.B.3.) Internal Membranes (2.C.1.) Feedback and Homeostasis (2.C.2.) Response to External Changes (2.D.3.) Disruptions in Homeostasis (2.D.4) Defending Against Infections (3.D.2.) Cells Communicate with Each Other (3.D.3.) Signal Transduction Pathways (3.D.4.) Changes in Signal Pathways (3.E.2.) Nervous System . . . **Account Creation and Log-In ** Go to USA Test Prep Account Creation Be sure to always use “panthers12” for the account ID. Use student activation code “stu6791” if you need to create an account. Log in and password is chosen by you (or was set-up last year). See me if you need these or have forgotten! . .__**Archive of instructions for old online resources (StudyIsland). Students can ignore this unless you want instructions for things you cannot do...**__ . For MARKING PERIOD 2...40 Extra Credit points total. 1. You can "carry over" 20 points from marking period 1. 2. UNIT 3 has 1 QUIZ (energy).......................MUST be done in M.P.2 only! .............2. Living Systems and Free Energy.....a. Organisms and Free Energy 3. UNIT 4 has 3 QUIZZES (DNA)...can be split between M.P.2 and 3. .............3. Living Systems and Genetic Information.....a. DNA and Genetic Information .............3. Living Systems and Genetic Information.....d. Mechanisms of Gene Expression .............3. Living Systems and Genetic Information.....e. Genetic Variation (If you have done all extra credit so far...20 points will carry over into MP3!) . . .For MARKING PERIOD 3...40 Extra Credit points total. 1. You can "carry over" 20 points from marking period 2's DNA unit (you may go back and do them now if you haven't already.) 2. UNIT 5 has 1 QUIZ (Genetics).......................MUST be done in M.P.3 only! .............3. Living Systems and Genetic Information.....c. Genes and Inheritance 3. UNIT 6 has 1 QUIZ (Cell Division)..................MUST be done in M.P. 3 only! .............3. Living Systems and Genetic Information.....b. Cell Cycle: Mitosis and Meiosis
 * From this section, you can bank UP TO 30 POINTS.
 * You can try as many quizzes as you want, as many times as you want. Highest scores from any attempt will be counted.
 * So, if you get 6 quizzes perfectly correct, that is all you can do because 6 quizzes X 5 pts = 30.
 * Or do 10 quizzes and get 3 pts each. That also equals 30 pts.

.For MARKING PERIOD 1...40 Extra Credit points UNIT 1 has 1 QUIZ (biochemistry).......................MUST be done in M.P.1 only! .............4. Interactions Among Living Systems......c. Biomolecules and Water UNIT 2 has 5 QUIZZES (cell and homeostasis)...can be split between M.P.1 and 2. .............2. Living Systems and Free Energy.....b. Cell Membranes and Transport .............2. Living Systems and Free Energy.....c. Homeostasis in Biological Systmes .............4. Interactions Among Living Systems.....a. Cell Communication .............4. Interactions Among Living Systems....b. Behavioral Adaptations and the Nervous System .............4. Interactions Among Living Systems....d. Cells, Organs, & Organ Systems For MARKING PERIOD 4...40 Extra Credit points total.

1. UNIT 7 has 2 QUIZZES (Evolution).......................MUST be done in M.P.4 only!

.............1. Unity and Diversity of Life........a. Natural Selection and Evolution

.............1. Unity and Diversity of Life........b. Evolution and Phylogeny

2. UNIT 8 has 1 QUIZ (Ecology)..................MUST be done in M.P. 4 only!

.............4. Interactions Among Living Systems.....e. Interactions in Ecosystems

3. Take the "Full Length Practice Exam" for 10 points - I do not intend for this to be a "full length" AP Exam for extra credit...so I will set it up as a 10 question review just like the other Extra Credit sections. You may, if you wish, take the full practice exam (and do the Grid-In and Free Response questions under additional resources) to prepare for the real AP Exam in May!

. . IGNORE this stuff below...old procedures I don't wanna delete...

You may only complete extra credit for the chapters we cover in class. .[|www.prenhall.com/audesirk] Direct link to: Dancing Polar Bear edition Send it as the default ‘text’ e-mail message. 100% = 5 pt 1 wrong = 4 pts. 2 wrong = 3 pts 3 wrong = 2 pts 4 wrong = 1 pt If you wish...we will NOT cover these in class...but you CAN get extra credit from these chapters...THere are available to do ONCE in either MP1, MP2, MP3, or MP4....  Ch 19 (viruses, prokaryotes & protists) Ch 21 plants Ch 20 fungi Ch 22 (Animal I - Invertebrates) Ch 23 (Animal II - Vertebrates) To make it worse...the chapters numbers are different from our book...but our book DOES have this info! . For later in the year....
 * 1) Choose a chapter we have completed from the top line of numbers. WILL ONLY BE ACCURATE UNTIL CHAPTER 18 ... choose chapters by TOPIC, not number!))
 * 2) On the left click on “Self Test”
 * 3) Answer the questions. When you are happy with the results, fill out your name and provide my e-mail address adephillips@pmsd.org maybe to yourself…just in case.

Our Book = Online chapter for Extra Credit ANIMAL BEHAVIOR...our book = ch 25...the extra credit chapter is chapter 38!!!! "The Interconnectedness of Life" (Ecology) Unit Ch 26 = Ch 39 (Pop growth and regulation) Ch 27 = Ch 40 (Community Interactions) Ch 28 = Ch 41 (How Do Ecosystems Work?) Ch 29 = Ch 42 (Earth's DIverse Ecosystems Ch 30 = a new chapter in our book, no extra credit available.
