StudyStack.com: Vocabulary Learning Games

I have recently created the first set of flashcards for your life science course. In addition to the regular flashcard format, you can also practice with hangman, studystack, scrambler, and matching.

You can even download the stack to your cellphone! I have not tried this yet, and therefore assume no responsibility for adverse effects. Always obtain your parents' permission before downloading media to your phone.

Students who use StudyStack will quickly learn the vocabulary words. Give it a try by clicking here! Be sure to leave a comment if you visit. Remember, first name and class period only, no last names!

The Benefits of Practice Tests

I have posted a practice quiz on the teacherweb site. I strongly suggest taking it, as it closely mirrors tomorrow's. Click here to take the quiz.

Extra Credit!

Here is your first opportunity to earn extra credit! Simply watch the Guinness World Record video clip, and post a comment! It's that simple! You can pause the video at any moment. Remember, 100 centimeters is about the height of a doorknob. Please note: you must have quicktime installed to watch clip. You can download it for free here.
