DBA & Module 4 Exam

4.06 discussion-based assessment (dba) - scavenger hunt.

What to do?

Get excited! DBAs are a great opportunity for you to share all you have learned in the module during a one-on-one, voice-to-voice conversation with your teacher (either in a live lesson room OR over the phone). They are not something for you to stress over... I promise! 

Helpful Tip! Prepare/study for the DBA exactly as you would for the module exam. Not only does this ensure you are well-prepared for the DBA, but it also cuts down on your prep time before you take your module exam.

Ensure ALL sections of your Biology Notebook for Module 4 are completed and bring it to your DBA.

Complete the "Refresh and Review" activity on page 1 of lesson 4.06 to prepare.

  Complete the Scavenger Hunt Google Form (Click Here) THEN schedule a day/time for Mrs. Duchien to call you ( link below)

S chedule your DBA with Mrs. Duchien :     https://wduchien.youcanbook.me

Complete (and pass!) your Module 4 DBA and earn the password to the Module 4 Exam. The password will also be in your DBA feedback .

Don't forget to submit the DBA assignment in your gradebook after you complete it so I an enter your grade!

4.07 Module 4 Exam

Module 4 Review Video

Review any concepts/material you struggled with one last time and give your Biology Notebook a solid final check.

Once ALL assignments and your DBA for Module 4 are completed, you may take the exam. The password will be given during your DBA and also written in the DBA feedback!

Gather your notes and take the Module 4 Exam (you are allowed to use your notes on the exam)! Remember, module exams are only given one attempt . BEFORE beginning the exam, please ensure the following:

you are well-prepared and well-rested (having a snack beforehand never hurts!)

your computer is plugged in

you do not have any other tabs open

you have enough time to complete the entire exam in one sitting

you are in a quiet, distraction-free zone

Taken the exam and not happy with your grade?  

Mistakes happen and they are part of learning.  I will give you the opportunity to earn partial credit back for your missed questions, here's what you need to do.....

Email or take pictures of your Biology notes and send them to Mrs. Duchien (taking notes are required in this class).

 Once I have verified your notes, you can complete this exam remediation file .  Email the completed file to Mrs. Duchien from within the course. Please save it as NameExam 4 .  For example: AEinsteinExam 4 .  By completing the exam remediation file above, students will be eligible to earn back partial credit on the questions they missed (and answer correctly on the remediation file). 

Students can NOT retake the exam, this is the only option to increase your score once the exam is complete.

Biology Worksheets, Notes, and Quizzes (PDF and PNG)

This is a collection of free biology worksheets, notes, handouts, slides, study guides and quizzes. Most content targets high school, AP biology, genetics, anatomy/physiology, immunology, and biology 101 and 102 in college. There is also biochemistry and physics for biologists. However, some resources are at the grade school and middle school level.

The files are PDF, PNG, JPG, and formats using Google Apps for Google Classroom. Most of the time, these formats are interchangeable. So, if you see something you like, but want a different format, just let us know. Print these resources, make transparencies and slides, etc.

In the interest of quick load time, not all of the images are shown. If you’d rather see them all, just contact us!

Module 4 assignment: cell builder.

Create a model of a eukaryotic cell using any material of your choice. In your model be sure to include all the organelles appropriate to your cell (either plant or animal). Once complete, take multiple photographs of your model from all angles. Include these images in a document that also contains the following in table format:

• A detailed key/legend that matches the model;
• Each organelle or part with its basic function;
• A disease or disorder that is associated with the malfunction of each cellular component
• How this organelle is visualized microscopically

Note for the disease information, you can list a disease in either animals or plants, regardless of what type of cell you are modeling. In other words, its okay to discuss a “human” disease even if you are making a plant model, provided the organelle is present in both types of cells.

Some suggestions for 3D models include Legos, a decorated cake with candy toppings, or standard Styrofoam base with appropriate pieces attached. You can also draw or illustrate a model. Here is an example of what you might make.

Basic Requirements (the assignment will not be accepted or assessed unless the follow criteria have been met):

• Assignment has been proofread and does not contain any major spelling or grammatical errors
• Assignment includes appropriate references
• Assignment includes photographs or images of created model from all angles.
• Assignment includes a key documenting how each organelle is represented in the model.
• Assignment includes a completed table such as the one illustrated in the example document.
• Assignment includes a disease caused by malfunction of each identified component in the model.
• Assignment includes at least 7 organelles in the model and table.
