💡 Big idea: Assembling the nervous-system evidence packet reinforces the signal pathway from neuron to brain region to CNS/PNS division, preparing you for the reflex unit.

- 8-30Gather and date-check all three artifacts
- 30-50Rubric self-check; fill gaps

- • Three artifacts: neuron diagram, brain-region map, CNS/PNS sorting. All three go in today.
- • Check your neuron diagram: is the signal direction marked? Check your brain map: does each region have a function? Check your sorting: does each row have a justification?
- • Your reflection should trace a signal all the way from a receptor in your fingertip to the brain region that processes it.
- • Next week we test reflexes, the fastest signals in the nervous system.
- 1Gather your neuron diagram, brain-region map, and CNS/PNS sorting.
- 2Check each against the evidence rubric for labels and accuracy.
- 3Update the weekly tracker with completed tasks.
- 4Write a two-sentence reflection on how signals move through the body.
- 5Submit the nervous-system evidence packet for the weekly summative.
- • You can assemble a complete nervous-system evidence packet.
- • You can reflect on neural signal pathways.
- • Evidence packet for this unit requires: neuron diagram, brain-region map, CNS/PNS sorting table. All must be dated and labeled.
- • Reflection should trace the path of a signal: dendrite to axon terminal, across the synapse, through PNS to CNS, processed in a specific brain region.
- • Nervous-system anatomy and pathophysiology is tested across multiple WebXam emphasis areas including Human Anatomy/Physiology and Medical Terminology.

Day 5 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (reached through Schoology), then do the work below.
Do this: Confirm all Lesson 2.1 Getting Nervous tasks for this week are marked complete in myPLTW before packaging your nervous-system evidence.
All tasks show complete status; screenshot included in your evidence packet.
By today every task from Mon to Thu in Lesson 2.1 should be checked off.

Today's PLTW tracker
Check things off as you work, then submit. This tells Mr. Mendoza how you're doing so he can help the class. It does not replace turning in your producible on Schoology.

Confirm all Lesson 2.1 Getting Nervous tasks for this week are marked complete in myPLTW before packaging your nervous-system evidence.
By today every task from Mon to Thu in Lesson 2.1 should be checked off.
This is how Mr. Mendoza sees the class keeping pace with PLTW. Be honest, it only helps if it is accurate.
