1. World Biology Championship Macromolecules

2. Rules of the Game You have been assigned to a team of 3-5 people and will be asked to sit in a row. A question will flash on the board and you will have 45 seconds to work the problem on your individual whiteboard. At the end of the time, the teacher will call a number between 1 and 5. The person in each group with the number called will raise his/her board. Each group with the correct answer will receive one point for their group.

3. The Spoils of Winning The victorious group will receive: Bonus points on an assignment of your choice! A group photograph on the World Bio Championship wall of winners Bragging rights until the next installment of the W.B.C. A mystery prize
