Remember to study for your unit test, it is next week. A good studier studies for 10-20 minutes every night, and does not try to cram it all in the day before a test. Be a good studier. Practice your vocabulary, your genotype/phenotype identification, your punnett squares and the difference between artificial selection and genetic engineering. Work hard, I believe you will do Awesome!

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Time to review for your test:
