Life Science Review

Due Wednesday, April 9th; Test: Thursday, April 10,2014

Use the questions from this review to help you create your own review. I encourage you to make a poster, PowerPoint game/slideshow, Glogster, Kahoot!, Jeopardy, crossword puzzle, or a board game – do something more than just filling out the answers please – get creative. Last test review of the year J.

Water & Carbon Dioxide-Oxygen Cycles
1.  Draw and label a diagram of the water cycle. Be sure to include its source of energy. Be sure to have the following label: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, transpiration, and accumulation / Diagram WITH labels..

Condensation ______only happen in the clouds. I know this because:
3.  Draw and label a diagram of the carbon dioxide/oxygen cycle. Include producers & animals and add what would happen we got more producers on animal in an ecosystem. / Carbon Dioxide-Oxygen Cycle pic:
If we had too many plants, then we would have too much ______in the air.
If we had too many animals or pollution, then we would have too much ______in the air.
