Created by

In this activity, students will build their own model of a human nerve cell using pipe cleaners of various lengths.

This activity in its entirety was designed for a high school biology or anatomy class, but can be modified for use in a middle school general science class by simply eliminating several pages of the student activity handout.

Psychology The Trolley Problem Moral Philosophy Ethics

Created by

Philosophy, Psychology, Religion

We were talking about Kohlberg and morality and one of my students asked me about "trolley" problems. That was my inspiration! If you are not aware of "trolley problems" they go something like this... "A trolley has lost its brakes and is headed down a track and will kill 5 people. You can flip the switch and only one person will be killed. What do you do?" Of course, there are a million variations of these kinds of problems too. While not strictly psychology I think these problems are interesti

Reflexes & Reaction Time Lab Activities- Nervous System, Anat & Phys, no key

Created by

Updated 1/21/21!After feedback about how the lab was more about reaction time rather than reflexes, I re-vamped the lab to actually include reflexes, not just reaction time activities. These are all low-material things you can do with objects that can generally be found around the house. ------Part 1: Students test their reaction time using a ruler and a website (two different ways of testing the same idea). The website is fun- they have to tranquilize sheep. The only materials needed for Part 1
