__TPACK Anatomy/Phys Lesson- Nervous System__

__**Planning Guide**__

Content: (What do you want students to know and be able to do?)

1. Describe how the maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment is required within the nervous system for the continuation of life, and explain how stability is challenged by changing chemical conditions or pathogen introduction

2. Create a PowerPoint animation that shows the healthy physiology of a neural pathway.

3. Describe how the physiology of the nervous system would be affected by the chemical or pathogen.

4. Create a PowerPoint animation that shows the altered physiology of a neural pathway.

**Pedagogy:**

1. The maintenance of the internal environment within the nervous system relies on events occurring within the axon of the neuron, the synapse of a neuron and the neuromuscular junction. 2 Students will create a process flow chart of the biochemical events occurring within the axon, synapse, and neuromuscular junction. 3. Using web resources or text students should research the physiology within the nervous system at the three locations described. 4. Student groups will work each day to complete one flow chart 5. Teacher will formatively assess the work of the previous days work by leading a class discussion using the SMART board or other class presentation tool. Teacher/ students will organize steps of the previous days flow chart as a way to review and self check group work. 6. Upon completion of the flow charts students will select a disease or drug that affects the nervous system. Each group will research the disease or drug to investigate the change in physiology this condition causes. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">7. Students will create two animations using PowerPoint. One animation will show the healthy neurological actions. A second animation will show the appropriate effects of the drug or disease. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">8. Each student group will incorporate these animations into a presentation they will share with the whole group.
