So last week was a blur. Helping with Senior class fundraisers and the powder puff game pretty much took up all the extra time I had last week to update this blog. Because of this, I'm just going to start fresh with today's news.
AP Psych
We continued talking about memory, how do we remember, what do we remember, why do we forget sometimes, etc. The National Geographic channel is currently running a program called "Brain Games" with an entire episode devoted to the topic of memory. It has some great information on memory, check your local listings, it replays a few times over the course of the week. I'm trying to find it on youtube but can only find short clips so far. We will finish the chapter on memory by Wed and have a test on chapters 1-6 by this Thurs or Fri. Make sure students are signing up for flex to review information.
Honors Psych
We continued working through the chapter on consciousness today by discussing hypnosis, dream journals, and drug use. Students worked on and completed a presentation on a specific psychoactive drug that will be presented tomorrow. Students will have a quiz on these drugs by Thursday so they need to make sure to study the information once it is all presented. Go to http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/addiction/drugs/mouse.html to see how drugs change neurochemistry in order to produce the feelings of being high.
