Learning Unit/Topic: ID No. Area: Body Balance The Nervous System – Year 9 Science Date: Class: Times: Room: 29/08/2016 9G5 / 9G6 Monday Single, line U201 – 02/09/2016 4/6 Tuesday / Wednesday Double, line 1/2 Key Ideas: The nervous system is responsible for communication between different body parts, detecting stimuli in the body, and directing the body’s responses. Outcomes: Students will be able to... Name the main parts of the brain: the cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, cerebellum, brain stem, and limbic system. Identify the lobes of the cerebral cortex: frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal. Explain the functions of the major brain parts. Identify the components of a neuron: cell body, dendrites, and axon. Describe the process of the reflex action. Knowledge Needed to Support this Learning Basic understanding of the human body and its systems Resources/Preparation Required PowerPoint presentations Associated handouts and worksheets Ruler for reflex test
