New Seating Chart and Activity

New Seating Chart and Activity. You will be designing, and building and flying a paper airplane with you new group.  1.  You will first do introductions and explain if you are an introvert or an extrovert.  2. You will come up with a plan to make sure that everyone is included in the building and designing of the plane.  3.  You will be asked how you made sure that everyone had a say in how the plane was designed and built and how the CNS and PNS interact to throw the paper airplane.  Your plane will be judged on distance with the 1st, 2nd and 3 place are getting a prize!  

Building a neuron model:  Due Today.  Please make sure it has all the parts labeled and an explanation of what each part does.

Homework due today: SQ3R  pages 98-107 is due Monday.  This module is heavy memorization.  You should consider making notecards as you go.

Circle: A concert that you would really like to see?  It can be current or past band.

Unit 3: The Brain-Everything Psychological is simultaneously Biological

Mind Body Connection Activity:  Check in on extra credit assignment.

Module 9 slide show: Biological Basis for Behavior

Activity: Create a notecard that has a definition of Action Potential.  This can have drawings, examples from class, notes, online examples, etc.  Share at your table and nominate the one that has the clearest, most understandable definition.

Module 10 slide show: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems

Activity: With you table, map out what has to happen in order for you to attempt to catch the note card using your understanding of the nervous system.

Activity: True/False

Learning Targets: I can explain/understand:

What are neurons, and how do they transmit information? Myelin sheath

How do nerve cells communicate with other nerve cells?

How do neurotransmitters influence behavior, and how do drugs and other chemicals affect neurotransmission?

What are the functions of the nervous system’s main divisions?

How does the endocrine system – the body’s slower information system – transmit its messages?

How do neuroscientists study the brain’s connections to behavior and mind?

What are the functions of important lower-level brain structures?

What functions are served by the various cerebral cortex regions?

What do split brains reveal about the functions of our two brain hemispheres?
