Unit 6
Energy
Chapters 17-18
This material will be on the Semester Final - January 26
The semester exam will have 50 MC questions and 2 FRQs and will be worth 70 points. Test corrections on the multiple choice section will be available. The test is cumulative for the semester, but there will be a slight emphasis on the energy material from chapters 17 and 18. Both FRQs will come from these two chapters. Make sure you can do the practice problems; one FRQ will involve calculations! The other FRQ will include a diagram of some type of power plant (coal, nuclear, etc). Be able to identify the parts and their functions.
