Biology ExamJeopardy Review

• Review will cover Chapter 1.

• You may use your books or notes for the game

Be aware, you will only be given 10 seconds to answer once you buzz in!.

The Rules

• The class will be broken up into 4 groups.• The group to begin will be decided by

random selection, and this group will select the first category.

• If this group answers incorrectly, other groups may “buzz in” by raising their colored team cards. The first team to raise their card will be given a chance to answer.

• Control of the board moves clockwise around the room.

The Rules• Each group must name one person in their group

to be the “contestant.” Only this person is allowed to raise the team card and answer questions (teams may discuss answers before giving them).

• You must be called on if you wish to speak, and you must raise your hand. Any team who calls out, is disruptive, or otherwise conducts themselves in an unsportsmanlike manner will be penalized with a $200 penalty per offense.

• Answers must be given in the format of a question or will be disqualified!
