On day one, we watched two videos on the nervous system then took notes on the videos. On day three, we were introduced to the major parts of the brain, like broca area and cerebellum, and the functions. For this, we studied a powerpoint and then created an outline on the part of the brain based on the information provided. On day four, we demonstrated our knowledge of the major parts and functions of the brain. For this, we created a powerpoint with fifteen slides, showing the three major sections of the brain, we had to have pictures on each slides and interesting links we found on different parts of the brain. On day five, we learned about the relationship of the endocrine system to the brain and its regulation of multiple body functions. To do this, we designed a children's book showing our understanding of the endocrine system. The book had to include the adrenal glands and the thymus gland. Our book had to be simplified so children could understand it. We had to have a total of seven pages. On day six, we learned about the different methods of studying the brain. To do this, we looked at a powerpoint and made a list of the different methods of studying the brain. Then we had to create a document showing each research method and write a paragraph briefly explaining how it works and how it helps our understanding of the brain. On day seven we did a discussion considering …show more content…
We learned about signal detection theory, difference threshold and absolute threshold. To do this, we watched a video sensation and perception then answered questions. On day two, we identified the senses and their basic properties. To do this, we viewed a powerpoint then answered questions and filled in a chart on the powerpoint. On day three, we learned about what affects our perception of stimuli. To do this, we studied a powerpoint and using the information provided in the powerpoint, we could either create a crossword puzzle with twenty items mentioned in the powerpoint or create a visual collage of at least nine optical illusions and then give a three sentence description on them. On day five, we conducted a mini lab experiment on sensory compensation and then discuss our findings, we learned a little about perceptual constancy. To do this, we had to look over the instructions and then follow them carefully for the lab, and then answer questions based on our
