1.) Preview: The nervous system consists of billions of cells called neurons. Neurons communicate with each other by receiving information through the dendrite, sending the impulse through the axon. When this impulse reaches the axon terminal end there is gap to the next neuron. The axon terminal end signals neurotransmitters to go across the gap and combine receptor sites. This allows the impulse or “message” to go to the next neuron. There are many different types of neurotransmitters. Researchers are studying how some drugs mimic neurotransmitter and other stop neurotransmitters from working.

nervousy system outline
1.) Preview : The Nervous System id the electrochemical system that allows the body to communicate. It contains all of the nerves from both the peripheral and the central nervous system. The peripheral system links the central nervous system to the sensory receptors. The sensory neurons, the interneurons, and the motor neurons provide the nervous system with its information. The brain and spinal cord receive information from the organs and tissues through the sensory neurons. This process is allowed because of the interneurons which are the most complex.

day threee outline
1.) Preview: The lower level structures of the brain are very important. First, there is the brainstem which is formed where the spinal cord swells and forms he medulla. The medulla regulates heartbeats and breathing. The reticular formation resides within the brainstem. It controls arousal. On the top of the brainstem there is the thalamus. The thalamus is considered to be the sensory switchboard of the brain. On the back of the brainstem id the cerebellum which coordinates muscle movement. In between the brainstem and the cerebral cortex is where the limbic system resides. The limbic system contains the amygdala, the hypothalamus and the hippocampus. The amygdale is involved in responses of aggression and fear. The hypothalamus is in control of bodily maintenance functions. Finally the hippocampus is in control of memory.

Phase 2 Part 6
Learning Strategies (at least 5-7) that incorporate all learners
Essential Question
Key Questions (build up to essential question)
Critical Thinking/problem solving activities (use Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives/
Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences)
Relevance to the real world
1. the learning strategies we will use are visual, hands on, memory, notes, reading, and projects
2. Our essential question will be: Analyze the different ways you learned throughout out game. Which way helped you learn the most and helped you to be most successful? What this strategy different from the way you thought you leaned best?
3. How do you learn best?
What does not help you learn?
4. Our critical thinking activities will be each section of the game we use
5. Our experiment is relevant to the real world because it teaches people while letting them have fun and people can learn from it
6. the students will set up the game themselves and pick teams with simply one person advising to explain instructions and figuring out confusion.
