The human brain

Update 27/2/08

What did we do today?

We blew up some balloons and then drew the brain part on them; pons, medulla, frontal lobe, primary motor cortex, etc.

And we got to see Greg's balloon (Beatrice?) move across the room every now and then...

We got to see the student teacher, who we unfortunately have no idea what her name is...Hopefully we'll know soon.

We copied down some notes about the Central Nervous System (not part of the outcome).

However, a lot of people have been asking that the notes that we're currently copying off the board in class be placed straight on the blog rather than having to copy down the notes.
Ms Chasen and I both agree that it's a good idea to write down the notes first and then when you've written down all the notes she'll forward us the typed up notes.
I'm cool with that, she's the one who knows memory (unit 4)....

So guys, make sure you copy down the notes because there is NO GUARNTEE that Ms Chasen will send us all the notes. It's up to ourselves to work hard and not fully rely on her.
Copying down notes first and then reading the typed up notes is good revision.

I think that's all we did today.

Make sure you do your revision (the powerpoint is now located in the MISS OUTS section) and don't forget to do the workbook!

I'll try to get the notes from the study guides up on the site by the weekend, but there's no guarantee...I have outcomes too... :(

Good luck!
