Hi everybody!

So I’ve started a new blog for the upcoming school year. I’ll keep this one because it seems like people are still accessing some of the posts, especially for links and some documents. Feel free to leave comments on this blog as they will still get forwarded to me.

Check out the blog for the 2007-2008 school year here or click on “SynergySci 2007-2008″ under the blogroll or here’s the web address:

YEAH! We’ve made it! It’s the last week of school!

So, no additional homework except for getting in any missing assignments.

All missing work is due by FRIDAY!

Also please make sure that you leave your journal with me to grade. I should be finished with them by the end of the week so that you can take them home to read and study over the summer.

Missing work as of June 1st

Brain Insight

This is the Sensory Humonculus on the Sensory Cortex. This depicts the relative area of the brain dedicated to receiving sensory information from different parts of the body.

**********************************************************************

Want to know more about the brain?

One of my all-time favorite sites is Neuroscience for Kids.

Detailed information about how the brain works, the structure of the brain, the effects of drugs on the brain, the brain and sleeping, laughing, thinking, etc.

There are sections to explore and activities to try.
