The document provides a 50-point checklist for a science final exam. It lists the major topics to be covered, including experimental design, measurements and units, phases of matter, atomic structure, the periodic table, motion and forces, energy, earth science topics like plate tectonics and ecology, life science topics such as cell structure and genetics, and evolution. The checklist is intended to help students evaluate how prepared they are on each topic for the upcoming final exam.

IT IS YOUR JOB TO PREPARE FOR YOUR FINAL EXAM! I have added
several power point presentations on my review website to help reinforce the topics we have learned throughout the year. Use this checklist to evaluate how prepared you are on each of the topics we covered.
