Grade 7 Diversity of Living Things Unit Exam

First, I would like to say I miss you and I am sorry that I can't be there today and I missed yesterday. However, test is still Thursday.  Where have I said that before...but I actually mean it for the seventh graders.

Yesterday you were asked to get your notes in order if you haven't already and to have one question of the day for me today. Here is your opportunity to ask me that question.

In addition to that, you are now assigned one response to one other persons question, but don't stop there. There more questions you try to answer the better shape you will be for the exam.

Remember, this exam is about the Diversity of Living Things:
The big idea to learn is how are living things the same and how are they different?
Chapter One: What are the characteristics of all living things?
Chapter Two:  Compare and contrast multicellular organisms and single celled organisms?
Chapter Three:  What are the characteristics of Plants from moss to flowering trees?
Chapter 4:  What are the characteristics Invertebrates from sponges to arthropods?
Chapter 5:  What are the characteristics Vertebrates from fish to mammals?

Julia K said...

Thank you for putting this all on the blog Mr. Hoopman! The sub says thank you too. Also, are protists things like algae or something else? And if they're something else, what is that something else?

Sarah Payne said...

Are those the only questions on the test or are they just the main points?

Kristin said...

What are the questions on the test? Is the questions we went over in class with mr c or the 5 questions on your blog? And are there only 5 questions on the the test?

I am so confused! Are the questions on the test the questions on the blog or are they the questions that the sub went over with us? The sub told us that the questions he went over with us were the test questions! The sub is so confusing to me and I don't really know what he means!

David,

It's called a plane.

Some mammals have figured out how to fly.

Is the test really two days long? And if so how many pivots is it worth?

mary addy said...

do viruses reproduce like bacteria?

How do fungi get their energy? Do they use photosynthesis?

Courtney said...

If birds are not mammals what are they?

Sarah Payne said...

Jenna, the four characteristics are the things that all living things share; they all grow, are organized, have adaptations, and reproduce.

HEY SUP? Mr. Hoopman how could you do that to us? Stick us with 2 different subs in a week!!!SHAME, SHAME,SHAME on you!!!! I just have one question... are the questions that what-ever his name is gave us 2-day the exact questions on the test or what........and what is an URL?

Ally Binder said...

Why do some amphibians not have to go back to water?

Ally Binder said...

Mary, viruses have to take over a cell and use your DNA to make copies. They don't reproduce.

kelly said...

hey what does it mean by it is ORGANIZED?? And by the way fungi don't get their energy from photosynthesis... since they are decomposers they get their energy from decomposed matter like dead animals, plants and other stuff too...

kelly said...

hey mary, i don't think that viruses reproduce like bacteria... they need a host cell to reproduce unlike bacteria which doesn't need a host cell to reproduce... i think maybe bacteria uses Bionary Fision to reproduce sometimes, i'm not really sure...

kelly said...

I copied this off of dictionary.com... hope it helps and i think that protists are single-celled organisms that use both the sun and eat stuff to get their energy...

any of various one-celled organisms, classified in the kingdom Protista, that are either free-living or aggregated into simple colonies and that have diverse reproductive and nutritional modes, including the protozoans, eukaryotic algae, and slime molds: some classification schemes also include the fungi and the more primitive bacteria and blue-green algae or may distribute the organisms between the kingdoms Plantae and Animalia according to dominant characteristics.

Morgan Klumpyan said...

Courtney, Birds are just birds. They aren't mammals. Because they have different characteristics

~mschwiby~ said...

How would you describe a host cell?

Meredith Grimes said...

How much will this exam be worth compared to contracts?

Meredith Grimes said...

Courtney, Birds are birds, just like mammals are mammals and reptiles are reptiles. They are all just different types of vertebrates because of their different adaptions.

Brandon Herrin said...

What is a protist?

Unknown said...

Mr.Hoopman how long is the test? I know it is 2 days long but how many pages is it?

Lindsey said...

Unknown said...

Unknown said...

Sarah Payne said...

So do we have two days to do the test?

Morgan Klumpyan said...

Mr. Hoopman, can I finish my test on Tuesday after school? I have 2 and 1/2 questions to do. And how long do we have to finish up? Does it have to be done by break or can we finish after break. Tuesday would be the only day I could stay after so I could come in during GP but I might have other stuff to do.
