2 October - 8 October

Once we complete the "Circle of Social Psychology Friends" activity on Monday, we'll be moving right onto the biology unit. This is what I would like to at least begin before week's end:

1) Module 3 (long quiz next Wednesday). For those who choose to, you may print out the Module 3 outline found below on which to take your notes. Otherwise, I will expect at least seven pages of notes for the 13-page module. Something that may help you with your reading notes is the "Brain Building Blocks" Powerpoint for Plotnik found below

2) Complete the notes on The Nervous System. Note: Below, you will find posted the lecture I used to give on The Nervous System along with The Biology of Behavior lecture/discussion we will have in class.

3) Assign your Build-A-Brain group project (due by Thursday, Dec. 8). Though I will be handing this out, the instructions can be found below.

Note: Below you will also find a unit checklist to guide you through the unit. Please understand that this is a condensed list with general concepts. It may be necessary to explore some areas more fully on your own. Also below, you will find the Terms to Know for Unit iV. Though it is a long list, you are still only required to submit 25 note cards at unit's end. (Remember, however, that many of these terms will be covered in your brain projects). Finally, I've placed a folder of additional readings related to Biology and Behavior below. Peruse it at your leisure. These are supplemental sources of information.
