      How muscles move
      ​

      Musculature: Contractions

      A short  homework activity

      Homework 04: Eye Diagram
      Homework 04 |  The Eye
       
      Color and label the parts of the eye.  Students gain an appreciation for the structure of the eye in preparation for dissection.
      Homework 05: Ear Diagram
      Homework 05 |  The Ear
       
      Color and label the parts of the eye.  Students gain an appreciation for the structure of the ear.
      Homework 06: Nerve Impulse
      Homework 06 |
      Nerve Impuses
       
      Students trace impulses through the nerve to visualize the transmission of stimulation.
      Homework 07: Nervous System
      Homework 07 |
      Nervous System
       

      Color and label the major parts of the nervous system.  We will be learning some  nervous system nomenclature during this unit.

      Rubrics
      Activity: Refexes
      Activity | Reflexes: Experience reflexes
      ​

      Allow studnets to experience  involuntary moevement of muscles due to nerve stimulation.

      Homework 08 | The Brain
       

      Label the parts of the brain

      Homework 08: Brain
      Activity: Senses
      Activity  | Experiencing Senses
       
      Hands-on sensory activities

      Sensory Web Activity - Illussions
      ​

      An interesting Optical Illussion that causes our eyes to percieve colors that are not there.  There are many activities that can be completed, for varying credit.

      Homework 08 | The Brain
       

      Color and label the major parts of the Central system.  We will be learning some nervous system nomenclature during this unit.

      Homework 09: Brain
      Project: Brain
      Project 04 | Brain Project
       
      Central Nervous System Project
      ​

      A project on brain function and dysfunction.  Studnets get to learn about brain functions in this self-identified project

      Optical Illussions
      Optical Illussions
      Sensory Activity - Illussions
       
      Illssions are images that fool our brain. 
      We are able to fool our brain in a couple of ways.  Can you figure out how your brain gets fooled with each of these images?
