(not in PLTW): look up the role of rods and cones in vision. Where are they found and what do they do?
3. Read the article linked in PLTW step 1, and answer LJ questions a and b.
4. Complete ALL ELEVEN stations and fill out the student response sheet for each one. NOTE that station 11 has its own sheet (not part of the big packet you got originally).
5. CQ 1-3

2. Your table will choose a picture to use for this project and each group member will research 2 (or 3) disorders to make a presentation. Look at the 8 problems listed in step 3 and divide them up so that all are covered in your group. 
3. First, do some research on your vision disorders. What is happening or causing the problem? Is there a way to correct or repair? How common is it/who gets this disorder (in general)? Will it get worse most likely?
Note that you will NOT include all the info you found on your slide… just a FEW words. There should be more to say than what appears on the slide. If you really need to, you can add a second slide for your info BUT no sentences! Just bullets and bare bones text.

4. Use the Google slides I made. On each slide, there should be the original picture and your modified version, showing what a person with your assigned vision problem would see. There are many free filtering or editing programs you could use. If you get stuck, just let me know and I’ll show you some. Again, if you add a slide for more info, that’s fine. Use the common theme and font and be sure to keep it VERY brief!
At the end of the slides presentation, I put a blank slide which you can copy and use if you need to add anything.
5. We will be 'gallery walk' style presenting these presentations. Take notes on one of the disorders you didn't research yourself at each stop. 
6. Answer NB question for step 12 and CQ 1-2.

2. Labeled eye diagram from the beginning of the pltw lesson. You MAY NOT just use clipart here, but you can use the printed out version I have, or you can draw your own in your notebook. 
3. Answer the RQ after the labeled eye. Next, watch the video of dissection (under eye dissection- exploratorium) You may wish to refer back to this as you do your dissection, since major parts are identified.
4. Answer the questions sprinkled throughout the steps as you work your way through the dissection (at 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 16, 17, 23, 25, 26 and 27) Double check that you did them all! 
5. Clean up your station, including ALL tools, dissecting tray, and table. Throw out the eye and detritus. Finally, answer CQ 1-3.

2. Research the 6 basic tests given during a routine eye exam (#1). 
Take notes on how each test is related to the structure and function of the human eye.   
3. Skip down to the three types of eye professionals: an ophthalmologist, an optometrist, and an optician. Write a sentence or two to describe what each one does, and when you would see one versus another.

A. Print out your Canva endocrine gland concept map/infographic. Preferably, use the color printer
(although you will have to fight with it to get it to work!)

1. Take intro notes ONLY on the first paragraph of the lesson. Then, SKIP down to step 4 (in the PLTW lesson)

2. Use the three links in this step (#4) and/or your classmates’ work to answer the following: (make a chart with the info in a
and b, then just answer c and d).

    a. List the 9 major endocrine glands.

    b. For each one, list the main hormones they produce and what their main function(s) are

    c. Name 3 other organs that produce hormones in the body, and tell what these hormones do

    d. Describe the difference between an endocrine and an exocrine gland.

3. Why is the pituitary called the master gland? How does it control the activity of other glands?
(Note: you may have to do a little extra research to find the answer to some of these questions. Just answer what's written; you don't need to include lots of extra detail here)

3a. If your BGO from the last lesson does NOT already have the locations of all 8 glands, place them on your BGO now, and label them.

4. Research disorders of your endocrine gland (the one you were assigned in the last lesson). Choose one that seems interesting to you, but NOT so obscure as to be impossible to diagnose. Write a 2-3 paragraph patient case file for someone who has that disorder. In YOUR lab notebook, include the whole case with the diagnosis.

5. Then, print out everything EXCEPT the diagnosis on a separate paper (so that someone else can try to figure out what the disorder is!)


Finally, add a thyroid gland to your Maniken. The thyroid is located on the trachea, inferior to the Adam’s apple. The gland can be assembled in pink or red clay and takes the shape of a bow tie or a butterfly.

1. Intro Notes: this time, make sure to define these terms from the intro: Endocrine System, hormones, glands, endocrine glands, and exocrine glands

2. Take BRIEF notes on the first two links.

3. Complete the concept map (Step #4 in pltw, parts a-b) *Note that you will be assigned a specific gland to center your concept map around. Use Canva (canva.com) to make an infographic or other concept map about your gland. Use all the words required in step 4, as well as information that is specific to the gland you were assigned. (Info about your gland should INCLUDE: major fxn(s) of the gland, main hormone(s) it produces, and any other important fact(s) you think belong in a basic discussion of this gland)

4. Research and write 2-3 sentences about the role of insulin and glucagon in blood sugar regulation.

5. Make your own version of the feedback loop shown in step 8 in pltw. **NOTE: you will need to understand this well enough
to fill it in on your final! PLEASE do not just copy a graphic from the internet!**

6. Label a BGO as shown in step 9, but answering the prompts in step #10. Just do step 10 parts a-d (because you've already done step e!)

7. CQ 1-2

Choose a scenario you (and your group) would like to investigate. Research and find out what is most likely wrong with this patient. Check with me to make sure you are on the right track.
2. IMPORTANT! You will make up a DIFFERENT scenario/patient that also suffers from this disease/condition. List that person's name, info, symptoms etc. (should be at least somewhat different).
3. Follow the steps in 2-9 to research and make a presentation explaining your patient, symptoms, prognosis, etc. 
4. Take notes for your own presentation/scenario
5. Take notes on other scenarios. You will be responsible for the basics of each disease discussed!

Use the Google sheet below to sign up for the case you'd like to present. PLEASE sign up as a group, including any members, at the same time. I have also included details about the presentation in the google doc below

3. Connect and set up the sensors. Launch the logger pro application on the school computer.
Change Rate to 100 samples/s and End Collection to 30 s. Follow the directions in pltw to set up tabs, etc. Collect voluntary muscle activation data.
Name and save the file when instructed to do so (save to your Google drive). Determine the time elapsed between striking the table surface with the reflex hammer and the contraction of the quadriceps muscle. Record the values in Data Table 1
4. Gather data about the reflex response to a stimulus.  
(Each person in the group will take turns being subject and tester).Name and save the file when instructed to do so. (save to your Google drive) Record data in Data Table 2.Compare the reaction times for voluntary versus involuntary activation of the quadriceps muscle. 
5.  Answer lab notebook questions (#16).  
6. Research and answer questions as directed in #17 (including the drawing, a, b, etc)
7. Also answer RQ at #17
8. CQ 1-2
9. If you wish, complete the optional extension here (after #17 but before conclusion questions)
