In class, we...

1. reviewed the 3 types of neurons (sensory, inter, motor) and how they work in relaying messages

2. discussed the parts of the nervous system and their functions

3. worked on the Diagram Packet - we diagrammed the parts of the Older Brain structures (thalamus, pons, medulla, reticular formation, cerebellum) and the Limbic System (hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala). In our diagramming, we also discussed the function of each part of the brain. See answer key attached below.

Students had 5 minutes to talk with their "Build A Brain Groups" about materials they might need to construct their brain on Thursday.

Homework:

1. Bring in materials to Build A Brain - see attachment for assignment

2. Biological Bases of Behavior Test - will be next THURSDAY
