Description
This differentiated interactive lesson introduces students to slow and rapid cellular communication. All students in the class begin by completing some notes about the endocrine and nervous systems, and by labeling diagrams by dragging vocabulary words onto anatomical diagrams with missing labels. After reviewing the introductory material, students are offered six task choices- three relating to the nervous system, and three relating to the endocrine system. The tasks are leveled using ski hill ratings, with green circles representing the easiest tasks, blue squares representing intermediate tasks, and black diamonds representing the most challenging tasks. Students must choose one task from the nervous system choices, and one from the endocrine system choices!
The nervous system tasks:
Green circle (easiest) task choice: Students make a mad, mad neuron and post a screenshot of their successful completion of the task.
Blue square (intermediate) task choice: Students answer questions while completing an online interactive on the mechanism of THC
Black square (most challenging) task choice: Students answer questions while completing an online lesson on action potentials.
The endocrine system tasks:
Green circle (easiest) task choice: Students draw the missing binding sites on hormone receptors to match the corresponding hormone shape. They answer questions about which cell(s) can respond to specific hormones based on receptor shape.
Blue square (intermediate) task choice: Students answer questions while completing an online game called Endocrine Ed
Black square (most challenging) task choice: Students examine descriptions of real human diseases and, based on symptoms and other clues, determine whether the disease is caused by a missing hormone, or by a missing or malfunctioning hormone receptor.
