Nervous System
Student Missions:
Mission 1: It's The Beating Of That Hideous Heart!!!
Mission Objectives. You should be able to...
1. Use exercise to connect the circulatory system to the respiratory system.
Let's test the relationship between respiration and circulation by doing this lab.
Prep Work:
Step 1: Pick a partner. If there is an uneven number of students, one group will double up.
Step 2: Check your resting heart rate ([your pulse] the number of heart beats within 10 seconds, then multiply by 6). Write this down.
Step 3: Check your breathing rate. Breathe normally for 10 seconds and count the number of breaths within that 10 second period. Multiply by 6. Write this down.
Step 4: You will compare your RHR and RBR to your HR and BR post exercise. We will go outside to the field or court (whichever's available). You will (1) walk for 90 seconds, (2) jog for 90 seconds, and (3) do jumping jacks for 90 seconds. After each exercise, you will calculate your HR and BR three times: 30 seconds after you're done, 1 minute after that, and 3 minutes after that. Write those numbers down.
Step 5: Switch places with your partner. Repeat Step 4.
Step 6: Switch back and perform Trial 2.
Step 7: Switch places with your partner. Repeat Step 6.
The last page of the packet is your data sheet; what you will submit for grading. In class, you will write your research question and generate a hypothesis about YOUR HR and BR. We will revise the data table that's listed.
After data has been collected, you will write a short conclusion.
Mission 2: BRAINS!!!!!
Mission Objectives. You should be able to...
1. Describe the major structures of the nervous system.
2. Describe the functions of the brain and the spinal cord.
3. Draw and annotate a neuron.
4. Compare and contrast the central nervous system with the peripheral nervous system.
