UOI x2
The UOI lessons were jam-packed with learning today. The students learned about the anatomy of the heart in the first half of the lesson. They will be assessed on the anatomy of the heart. **Hint- hint, nudge-nudge, wink-wink!**. On Monday they will culminate the study of the heart.
Following that, they conducted an inquiry in small groups. They investigated reflexes, specifically reaction times when catching a falling object. The second investigation focused on optical illusions and the brain's ability to process information.
The students need to complete the analysis questions and jot notes for homework.
