THE NERVE CELL

Learning Goals!

• Describe how nervous system coordinates

and regulates these feedback mechanisms to
maintain homeostasis.

a) Label and describe the functions of a neuron.

b) Differentiate sensory and motor neurons
based on their functions.
c) Explain how information travels in the nervous
system.
START GAME
Activity: A Nervous Trip
LEARNING ACTIVITIES:

GROUP 1: LABEL IT RIGHT

Task: Label the parts of a neuron and match their
corresponding functions using the materials provided.

GROUP 2-4:COMPLETE IT RIGHT!

Task: Students will complete the contextualized Frayer model
after reading the materials provided by the teacher.
Group 2: Sensory Neuron
Group 3: Interneuron/Relay neuron
Group 4: Motor Neuron
RUBRIC FOR GROUP
PRESENTATION:
Types of Neurons
a)Sensory neuron- Conduct
Nerve Impulses towards the
CNS.
b)Motor Neurons- Conduct
impulses away from the
CNS.
c)Interneurons – Conduct
impulses within the CNS. It
connects sensory neurons,
motor neurons and other
interneurons.

2. What is the difference
between Sensory and
Motor Neurons?
3. How does the
information travels in the
nervous system?
Let’s Think About these!

• Why does the damage in

the Nervous System
causes paralysis of the
body?
• How can you keep your
Nervous System healthy?
Agreement:

Answer the following questions

below:

1. What are the functions of

Endocrine System?

2. What are the major glands in the

body, with their functions, location
and hormones they release?
