The Nervous System

The nervous system is the complex network of nerves and cells that transmit signals between different parts of the body.

This slide provides a brief introduction to the nervous system.

Sympathetic Nervous System

The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the 'fight or flight' response. It prepares the body for action by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration.

This slide introduces the sympathetic nervous system.

Parasympathetic Nervous System

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
