Brain and Neuroscience Exam Friday 10/24

We will be reviewing the material during the first half of class and testing the second half of class. Our next unit after that is health and stress.

Be sure to use your review guide (Barron's or Princeton's) and use your workbook.

Brain Week 10/20-10/24

For Wednesday's class, please review the chapter and refamiliarize yourself with all the terms and functions of the brain parts, neurons, and the endocrine system--much of your learning will take place outside the classroom--you need to spend extra time studying for this unit. We will be watching the brain surgery video and working on case studies.

The exam is Friday, 10/24
