The Blind Girl read the text while we read the text.  Chapter 37.  The Neuron.  New computer, New communication, New Braille keyboard... we are a go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We made neurons cut n paste and  Wiki sticks to make them 3D.

I tried to use bingo chips to simulate action potentials and it was a disaster.

My original plan was to model Na/K with diff colored bingo chips across the membrane, but the neuron models were an odd size for this to work. AND the students thought they were neurotransmitters.  YAY kids got to throw bingo chips.  woot. I changed the seating for AP to a large table for 12.  Like a dinner party. We completed the POGIL together, reading guide, and discussed the Structure and Function of Neurons.   It was a fun day.

So, the next class...
We finished chapter 37 neurons and action potentials with the POGILs and Reading Guide. and finished off before break with Nervous System Bozemans and the Taste Lab that didn't work. They could all taste the chocolate.  and hated the tea.

And vocabulary ugly sweater contests.
Which ugly sweater picture gets the most likes wins.
