9/20

AP Psych
Today we finished discussing the brain by talking about Left Brain and Right Brain theory. We also worked on another practice AP essay. And we finished the class playing a review game for the test on Chapters 1 and 2 tomorrow. If anyone has last second questions, I will be checking my school email and the Wiki if a student wants to create a discussion post for questions.

Honors Psych
Today we discussed how neurons communicate with each other through the use of chemicals called neurotransmitters. We recreated the process by using students to represent all of the parts involved with a simple message to pass along the neuron. We finished class with a discussion of the parts of the nervous system which lead to us discussing how the nervous system can respond so quickly to dangerous stimuli. This discussion eventually lead to this video of a deer jumping over an SUV.
