Frog Dissection!

Give this a try to help prepare yourself for tomorrow's frog dissection!  This will be our last big lab and you will need to be able to identify the internal body systems (digestive, respiratory, skeletal, muscular, etc.)

The Human Eye

Top two things that students in class found most interesting about the human eye:

1.  The pupil is actually a hole into the eye, not a "black dot".

2.  It's cool how images seen by the right eye are taken to the back of the brain through the optic nerve and interpreted on the left side of the brain!

The Nervous System

Your Project due, Monday, May 13th, is to build a 3-D model of either a brain or neuron.  You do not need to purchase expensive materials for this!  See what you can recycle from your house in a creative way!  The model must be labeled with the important parts!  You also must attach a detailed explanation to your model explaining the parts!  Please do some research and find new information that we have not yet discussed.  You have general knowledge of the parts, but I want you to show me that you have gone deeper!  Use the rubric to make sure you complete the project properly. (Rubric is in the file cabinet)

The project is worth 50 points!
