Contact Ms. To: sto@vsb.bc.ca Phineas Gage Endocrine system [|Synaptic Transmission Fill-in]for practice. Do as many times as you need. [|Parts of the Brain Fill-in] [|Endocrine Hormones Fill-in] || Brain Lab next class. Read over the lab and bring blank paper. Brain and Endocrine Quiz in the class after the lab ||  || Overview of synaptic transmission Adrenaline Brain worksheet Brain dissection likely happening Apr 30/May 1 Neuro test likely May 7/8 Any outstanding work must be completed by end of the week, as my last day is Friday || || [|Synaptic Transmission video] Work: Spoke with students about current progress, time permitting. SUPPLEMENTAL TEST (If you are on this list, then you qualify) I have spoken to some of you about this, already. If you scored 14/26 or lower for the multiple choice section of the respiratory test, or 9/17 or under for the written part, you may attempt to boost your mark by writing an abbreviated version of the test. I have limited spots for each of Monday lunch, Monday after school or Tuesday lunch. PLEASE NOTE: your mark will not jump to miraculous levels. There is a cap as to how much your mark will improve. Neuro Online Quizzes for practice: || [|Nerve Impulse video] Use text pp 322-323 to create flow chart on the electrochemical properties of a nerve impulse. Include notes on: Online quizzes: for practice. You may redo them as often as you need. Include your name if you want to have a higher chance of your in-class quiz marks being adjusted. More of these will be going up over the next few days. Feel free to email me if you think there is a mistake. [|Intro to Nervous System video](1-4 will watch next class) (2-3) || Finish Mechanics of Breathing Compare vital capacities of volunteers [|Respiration 3 Quiz]- for practice || See Apr 4 Make up quizzes must be done before the test.
