The line above is one my most salient memories from high school spanish. We heard it everytime we took an oral quiz. Tomorrow, I head to the Assessment Center finish my National Board work for the year. In true “skin of my teeth” fashion, I am starting to study the day before. Not a month before, as I had initially intended. No worries, I am indeed, listo. Yo soy listo.
What’s in store tomorrow morning? A computer based test that tests my skilz in the following…
Data Analysis
Interrelationships
Fundamental Concepts
Change over Time
Connections in Science
Breadth of Knowledge.
I will take a moment to link these test subjects to phrases I use in my AP Biology or AP Environmental Science, or Biotechnology classes…
Data Analysis…go forth and quantify/data analysis is the fun part
Interrelationships…four connected learning cycles that include cell biology, molecular genetics, plant and animal structure and function, ecology
Fundamental Concepts…the basic information is usually the most importnat…surface area to volume relationships matter,
Change over Time…uhh…this is really a class in evolution disguised as a biology class
Connections in Science…everything’s connected
Breadth of Knowledge…well, to be honest, I don’t have a quote here, but given the span of my course load (molecules to ecosystems, to earth systems) I think I’ll be alright. To be honest, I have uncovered a gap in my knowlege here, I will work on this area first today.
When it all comes down, though, Yo soy listo.
