So what is this thing we call a nervous system? Is it something we need to look after? Does it have delicate sensibilities? How does it work? Can the thoughts in my head really be the result of biochemical reactions in my brain?
Maybe we should try to understand our brains better... afterall, we use them every day of our lives.
[and is that correct grammar? - "we", "them", "lives"]
Here are some links to online learning resources:

A movie about how the brain works
and this last one is gross, but possibly educational :-)
By the Way - there are at least two homework projects secretly embedded in this post...
[here is one]
- follow the link on the previous brackets to see examples of kid's brain art - you will need to make a poster relating your brain to learning, keeping it healthy, or something similar

Your homework is to construct a model of a neuron/nerve cell. Follow these instructions and pass it on:

Yeesh. At least our homework isn't that hard... oh wait, yes it is.
is this website got everything we need to know on it :/
O.k, so do we have to do all of the "lessons" on these websites? Because that's. . . . . . . . . . . . . . A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peruse the links at your leisure.
Find the two homework assignments.
Prepare yourself to do them.
Leeeearn....
No you don't have to do everything on all the links. These are just general research resources to help you.
o.k thanks mr woody!!
Wait. So does that mean that the "lessons" aren't actually the choices we have to choose from.
Do we have to find two particular "lessons" or assignments.
I will explain in class. :-)
Do we do the poster at home or in class?
does it have to be 3-D one or flat one???
i'm confuzzled.
I just finished my nueron.
Do we have to label them?
You may make your neuron however you like and you do need to know the various parts and how it works - I will ask you about it's functioning when you present it.
Well done those who have taken up the challenge!
do we have to make a poster
yes
