Biology & Life Science Review Sheet

© Supercharged Science

Great job on our Biology and Life Science sessions this month! We’ve covered A LOT in a short

amount of time, so I wanted to be sure you had a chance to really be impressed with the

amount you’ve learned and how much understand about the world of biology!

Here’s what you can do now. First, I’ve put together a vocabulary list for you to review. If you’d

like to, write each of these on an index card (make your own from sheets of paper). Don’t worry

about the definitions just yet.

Next, let’s do a Spelling Bee! Grab a parent or sibling and ask them to test you on how to spell

each one. If there are any that are just too hard (or too easy), remove them from the deck.

If you’re the type of kid that has a lot of energy for movement, then you’ll like this tip: When I

ask kids to spell words, I also have them bounce up and down on beds or trampolines or using a

jump rope to really get them associated with the words.

The next page has a really big list of words, mostly because we’ve introduced a lot of new

terms. Before you start to feel overwhelmed, here’s the best way to use this list. I want you to

cross out all the hard ones. What’s left are the ones you can use for the rest of this packet.

Ready? Go ahead and work your way through this list on the next page.

Lab Practical

Now that you’ve got the words down, let’s see how much you really understand about each

one. Instead of writing definitions (that will come later), let’s do a “Lab Practical”. This is how

we’ll really get a sense of how much you understand and if there are any gaps.

Take your stack of words and hand them to someone else. When this person shows you a card,

you have only a minute or two to draw a picture of what it is or to demonstrate what that word

actually means.

In some cases, this will be easy, but in other cases, you may need to set up a quick experiment

or sketch something out. Try to give a really good example of each one.

For example, if I hold up “protist”, this is what I might do:

1. Get up and point to the “junk drawer” in my house, and say that this is all the left over

bits that don’t really have a home. I might say: “A protist is anything that is not an

animal, plant, fungi or bacteria.”

2. Draw an image of a protist I have seen in a microscope or in a book, explaining as many

parts as I can recall. If you don’t remember what one looks like, stop and go find out

right now.

Now it’s your turn. The point is to think about how you would demonstrate to someone else

about the word on the card, just like you were the teacher in the room. How would you explain

it so they really understand? Go ahead and do this now for as many of these as you can. Use

the list on the previous page.

Now it’s time to write actual definitions for each of these. I put together my slides for the

month in this review sheet so you can refer to them if you need to. I am more interested in

making sure you understand a concept and can explain it in to your own words rather than

memorizing a definition I give you, so let’s see how you do before you peek at my slides.

You can write the definitions below in the space provided (drawing pictures is perfectly fine

also), or you can add them to the back of the cards you created back at the beginning. If any are

too hard, skip it and move on. When you’re done, go back and try to fill in as many skipped

ones as you can by looking at my slide pages or doing a little research on your own.
