Week 21 Blog, Due Sunday, February 11th, 2013

Thinking ahead to TAKS, we have gone over cells, cell parts, DNA, and RNA. Log into this website to play a review game over cells, cell parts, and cell functions: http://www.neok12.com/quiz-games.htm (you will need to copy and paste the link into your browser).  Under life sciences, click on cell structures.  Play at least two different quiz games.  For your blog entry, I want you to tell me how you did.  I do not need a score or specific number wrong, I just want you to tell me if it was easy for you and you got most of them correct or you had a hard time and need more review over the material.  If you did not do so well, I would like to know what you plan to do going forward to ensure success on this objective on the actual test in April.  Remember, in order to get full credit, you must complete one original comment AND comment on at least one other post.  If you have any problems, let me know BEFORE the 11 pm deadline.  Happy Blogging! FYI: I posted the link in the Edmodo folder for this class as well as under useful sites to the right of this blog under Quiz Review Games.

  1. I played Plant vs Animal Cells on that game it was very easy. But for what does what #1 i need just a little bit more practice on knowing what does what. but over all that game was easy too.

    1. We can practice together and work with the weakness that we have.

  2. I played the game plants vs animals cells and it was just a little challenge but I did finish it. The what does what was just easy for nothing difficult.But other than that it was okay.

    1. Funny how we had difficulty in opposite games.

    2. You should play the Quiz on cells game is interesting and gives you knowledge about the different parts of the cell too.

  3. I had a difficult time with both games the plants vs animal cells and the what does what because Biology is one of my subjects that I struggle on.Naming and knowing the different parts of the cell is difficult for me.

    2. I am sure you can find websites where you can improve in your biology skills, Marlon. You should look them up!

    3. I'm in the same boat! Remembering the different parts was a struggle for me as well! I'm sure we can refresh our memory soon though! If I find any good websites, I'll be sure to let you know

    4. I had the same problem, I couldn't remember what part did what.

  4. I did cell organelles #1 and what does what #1 they were actually easier than I expected because I usually have a harder time with the organelles and what their function is.

    1. I on the other hand had trouble with the game what does what #1, but I knew the function of organelles .

  5. I played plantvsanimal cell game it was ok i knew most of the questions n i played organelles #1

    ReplyDelete
  6. I did Cell Organelles #1 & #3 they were pretty easy but i had a little trouble remembering some of the part of the cell. But if i study a little more i think ill be good.

    1. me too it seemed to easy until they asked about centroles

      Delete
    2. I forgot some parts about the cell too. I probably need to study it.

      Delete
    3. I though cell organelles #1 was easy. I think since the games weren't something similar to short response I got it quicker since I had options and I favor multiple choice tests over written ones.

  7. Under the cell games i got most of them right but the plant vs animal and if the eukaryotic or prokaryotic i had trouble D"

    1. I had trouble with the cell games, but not the plant vs animal game

      Delete
    2. I think that's the easiest part of cells like eukaryote vs prokaryot

      Delete
  8. I played the quiz on cells and Eukaryotic or prokaryotic #1. I did good on the Eukaryotic or Prokaryotic but I did really bad on the cell quiz

    1. Yeah i missed some on the cell quiz too

    2. Same thing here i played that but did bad on the quiz.

  9. I play ed the cells quiz and i did great it was to easy for me

    ReplyDelete
  10. Well I played plant vs. animal cells and what does what #1 since they were the popular games.The first one was easy and I didn't have a problem with it, but the second one was harder I think I need more review on what does what in the cells.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yeah i think if i review more on what does what in the cell it'll be easier.

      Delete
  11. I didn't have any difficulty. That cell diagram that we had to do helped out a lot with remembering the cell structures.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I played Plant vs Animal and also Quiz on cells. I did very well I only missed two on the plant vs animal and the quiz on cells one. I enojoyed the game it was helpful. It made me remeber the 9th grade biology class.

    1. Yeah it had lots of reminders which was some great help with osmosis for me

    3. yeah i played that for a little and it was very helpful.

  13. I played cellular transport and who does what2 and I got most of the questions right and I learned what the other ones were by guessing. I had fun by playing because I was bored.

    ReplyDelete
  14. i did pretty good on plant vs animals and cellullar transport

    ReplyDelete
  15. I played cell division identify mitosis state. I didn't know what cytokenesis or prometephase was. I didn't really do to well on that game, but i tried.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I also did well on plant vs animals like everyone else, but I couldn't remember some of the cell parts' jobs..

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I actually had some trouble in the plant vs animals game because it has been a long time since I reviewed over that or even saw it.

      Delete
    2. I also had a problem on the cell parts.

      Delete
  17. I played the quiz on cells game and the plant vs cells game. I did very well on the quiz on cells game by not missing any, but missed two in the plant vs cells game. The reason why I missed them is because I couldn't remember the differences between a plant cell and animal cell. I plan on reviewing the biology objective until I mastered it so I can do well in the TAKS.

  19. i liked it but i just need more time on learning the difference between the animal vs plant cells. if i learn those i will do great on TAKS

    ReplyDelete
  20. I liked the little game, i did good on the questions. They were pretty easy i didnt miss much. I plan on reviewing more so that i can do good in all objectives.

  21. i did pretty good on animal vs plant cells, but not my best

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. yea the differences can be a little fuzzy , but for the most part the plant cells will have something the animal cells don't ie chloroplast.

      Delete
  22. i did okay on the games, i just need to review and study the material a bit more.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I played what does what & animal vs plant cells, it was a pretty easy review of freshman year

    ReplyDelete
  24. I played the cell games and I did good(: I think the songs you have showed us help. Thank you. I will listen to them more to memorize the material better.

    ReplyDelete

    1. yes, the songs are very helpful! Music totally helps me when it comes to remembering things.

  25. I played animal vs. plant cells and city analogy quiz #1. I did pretty decently. The information didn't come to me fast though. I really had to think about some of them. But I did do better than i thought I would do. I always had problems trying to remember this kind of information.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I played those too! And I agree, I had to think about them a little in order to come up with the answer. (I always sucked at biology lol)

      Delete
  26. i played cells and Eukaryok and did good on the on the way to the quiz but did pretty bad I guess I need to practice more.

    ReplyDelete
  27. my computer won't let me play the games it says i need to upgrade something and i don't have permission from my parents for that.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I played the plant vs cell game and cell city analogy #1. surprisingly i did better on the cell city analogy game then the plant vs cell game even though I thought I knew more about the plant vs cell one. I guess I remembered more about the cells than I thought. In order to improve, I just need more practice memorizing and actually study.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I played the animal vs. plant cells and what does what. I think i did okayish on both of them, but i do need a little bet of refreshing on certain things. What really helped me have been the TAKS days that we've been doing. They're extremely helpful!

  30. I played the Quiz on cells and eukaryotic or prokaryotic ,I ddnt do so well on the first but the second I had no problem with.i think I may need to study a little more because all this info is kind of old to me.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I played two games. I did good on both. These games are very helpfull. I like how it helps you out by giving a video over what you got wrong.

  34. I did cell organelles 1& 2 and 5/8 & 4/8. The ones I got right I guess I used suffixes and letters to figure out what was what but yeah, I need to learn those parts.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I played the quiz about eukaryotic and prokaryotic & cellular transport. I don't a lot of differences I just remember like the different types of the like protists and stuff. I get cellular transport

    ReplyDelete
  36. I did, cell organelles 1 & did pretty well then I did cell organelles 2 & was a little more difficult then I did plant and animal cells and I did pretty well too. I think I need to overall work on everything to make sure I know it well.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I played what does what & animal vs plant cells, it was easy I really liked the games! :)

  38. I played cell organelles #1 and plant vs. animal cells and i did really good, surprisingly i was able to remember most of the stuff from biology.

    ReplyDelete
  39. i played what does what, quiz #2 and got all of them right. i have to admit i guessed on a couple and used process of elimination on a few. on quiz on cell organelles #3 i didn't do so hot i got 6/8 correct. i could use some help on the less obvious structures of the cell.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I played cell organells 1 and it was pretty easy. Then i began to play alot of games but they urned out to be really easy. But still i would review a little more and play more gmes

    1. The games are great way to review, but it's better to do the games and also review other material. I think everyone comprehended the games better because they weren't in the paper and pencil test format we're all used to.

  41. I played plant vs. animal cells and cell organelles #2. The first one was easy, not the second one. ill study cell parts more.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I played Cell Organelles #1 and Quiz on Cells. They were both very easy and I had no trouble matching the definitions with the terms.

  44. I played cell parts and photosynthesis. I didn't really do all that good, I had a difficult trying to remember what part did what. It took me a couple of times to get the right one, but I eventually did. I really need to refresh my memory on the structure of things haha.
