A Thematic Review of Biology

How can we put our H.O.U.S.E in order?

Directions1. You will receive several cards with pictures and fill-in descriptions of

topics that we have studied throughout the course.

2. For each card, look up/fill in information for each card, then check with your team mates to make sure that you all agree

3. Write the topic/title of the topic in the box on the top of each card.

4. 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

5. Tape your card and description slip to the appropriate theme poster.

_______________ is a good example of the theme HOMEOSTASIS because:

_______________ is a good example of the theme ORGANIZATION because:

_______________ is a good example of the theme UNITY MEETS DIVERSITY because:

_______________ is a good example of the theme STRUCTURE MEETS FUNCTION because:

_______________ is a good example of the theme ENERGY AND MATTER TRANSFER because:
