LESSON PLAN: NERVOUS SYSTEM DAY 4
Agenda:
1. SET: LABEL BRAIN DIAGRAM FROM HANDOUTS
2. ACTIVITY: PLAYDOH BRAIN—CLAY MAGIC BRAIN
These brain diagram for the PLAYDOH brain and describe the lobes of the brain
using the digital viewer. Students divide their brain diagram and list functions of each
lobe as it is discussed. Students then use PLAYDOH or Clay Magic to construct each
lobe including the cerebellum.

LESSON PLAN: NERVOUS SYSTEM DAY 5
Agenda:
1. SET: Label THE MENINGES FROM TEXTBOOK PAGE 252.
2. CLASS NOTES-- go through class notes up until nerve conduction.
3. Discussion: Nerve conduction party. Refer to NOTES PAGES page in unit file.
I usually have the students go over the notes with her table partner making sure
that they understand the concepts about nerve conduction. The main emphasis is that
nerve conduction is ion exchange. When I do this, I write as I talk using the digital
viewer. I began with telling the students characters in the story which are on the right
side of the notes. Then, I go through each step of nerve conduction.
4. Homework reading pages 258-267.

LESSON PLAN: NERVOUS SYSTEM DAY 6
Agenda:
1. SET: NAME & CIRCLES. I have the students write their name, first and last, three
times a piece of paper as fast as they can. Then, if they are right-handed they do this
with their left foot, if they are left-handed, the use the right foot. They proceed to draw
with their foot in a clockwise direction a circle. Then, they are to attempt to write their
name again three times as fast as they can. Because the right side of the brain controls
the left and the left controls the right, some of the students will have difficulty doing
this. You may have one or two who have no difficulty. This means they have very good
connection between both lobes of their brain.
2. ACTIVITY: TEST YOURSELF + CHOOSING SIDES (LAST PAGE SHOWS HOW TO SCORE
