Week+7+Synapsis+and+neurotransmission

= Week 7 Synapsis and Neurotransmission =

Topic(s)

 * Synaptic process
 * Neurotransmission and Neurotransmitters
 * Objective(s) **
 * **Students will be able to Explain, using examples, the effects of neurotransmission on behaviour**
 * Students will be able to identify the different stages of Neurotransmission
 * Students will examine the function that different neurotransmitters have on behaviour
 * Students will examine the function that different neurotransmitters have on behaviour


 * ** Objective 2 **
 * Outcome 1:
 * Outcome 2:

**Activities / Strategies** - In groups of 4-5, Students devide amongst themselves the roles of: 1. Presynaptic neuron 2. Postsynaptic neuron 3. Neurotranmitter (serotonin or dopamine) 4. Reputake enzimes
 * **Name** || **Level** || **Description -** ** Instructions ** || **Type** || **Handout / File** ||
 * Drugs and Neurotransmitters || S-L || Based on the video "The mouse party", students will explore how a specific drug has a specific effect on neurotranmitters. || Group || [[file:Neurotransmitters_Drugs_You(activity).doc]] ||
 * Neurotranmitters ball game || S-L || **Differentiation:** Higher achiever students can get a leadershiop role in their teams, making sure to spot mistakes.

- Each group prepares and stages a small play oh how the neurotransmission process takes place. The teacher asigns one or two members from each of the other groups to identify possible mistakes in the process.

- The PP presentation can help as content teaching || Group ||  ||


 * ~ Level Key ||
 * H . || Higher achiever ||
 * S || Standard achiever ||
 * L || Lower achiever ||


 * ~ Type Key ||
 * Individual . || Activity performed completely by the student himself. ||
 * Pairs || Acitivty performed in pairs to either to share, check or generate results. ||
 * Group || Activity performed in groups, strongly recommended in groups of 3 or 4 and assigned by the teacher. ||
 * Peer-Assess . || Activity that will be marked by peers. mark scheme should be provided before hand and explained. ||
 * Self Assess . || Activity that will be marked by one self. Mark scheme should be provided before hand and explained. ||

**Assessment**
 * **Name** || **Description** || **Link / File** || **Mark scheme** || **Example** ||
 * Ball game || Peer-assessment: Students will localize mistakes in understanding from other groups ||  ||   ||   ||

**Homework**
 * **Objective** || Students will understand how specific substances alter neutransmission and therefore behaviour ||
 * **Outcome** || Video/play ||
 * **Instructions** || Students will start preparing it in class (first activity) but will construct the video /play as homework ||
