The Storm Within TSWBAT
1. View a video about a young boy with a degenerative disease that
requires the removal of a large part of the brain:
Brain Plasticity Video
2. Answer focus questions
about the video to better understand the symptoms, tests, and recovery the
boy went through
3.
Discuss the brain
imaging techniques they used on the boy and the impact the seizures had on
his life and write about how their life would be different if they had
this condition in their science journal

Quiz Tuesday: The 3 parts of the brain- cerebellum, cerebrum,
brain stem, the 4 lobes parietal, frontal, occipital, temporal,
the planes- axial, coronal, sagittal, the views- dorsal, ventral,
posterior, anterior, EEG data & the Amygdala- use brain boxes to
prepare!

Reaction Time TSWBAT
1. Students time their
reaction to a visual stimuli by catching a piece of paper when it begins
to fall.
2. Understand that
neurons are the basic cell of the nervous system and to the transmission
of messages from neuron to neuron.
3.
Journal entry: Describe the
reaction time activity and how and you and your group's reaction time
improved

Impulse Relay-1 TSWBAT
1. Distinguish between sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons
as cells that carry messages to and from the brain
2. Act out the
neurotransmission of a stimulus/ response message via a simulated pathway
and attempt to improve their reaction time
