Week 24

Over the past few weeks we have reviewed several biology topics for our TAKS review.  For your blog this week I want you to go to some of the following websites and choose at least two biology review games and play them.  Choose games that cover topics we have gone over in class like cell parts and functions, bacteria and viruses, genetic variation, etc.  When you are done let me know how you did for your blog post.  If you had a hard time with any of the games let me know what you plan to do to master this content before the TAKS test.
