12 Lab 3: Electrical Properties of Neurons

As you know, StFX hosts the Antigonish Brain Bee in order to get high school students excited about neuroscience. To help us reach this goal while consolidating your own knowledge, you will work with your group to either:

1. develop instructions for a craft, a game, or an embodied learning activity; or
2. create a memory tool or online game.

You must create something that has not been discussed in class. As a starting point, you can use existing materials (i.e., that you find online) with an appropriate Creative Common license if you wish. You must both properly credit and build on such material. (A found craft, game, learning activity, or memory tool is insufficient and will receive a grade of zero.)

If you are developing a craft, a game, or an embodied learning activity, you should give clear and detailed instructions. You do not need to produce a physical craft or game, nor do you need to enact the embodied learning activity in the classroom or on a video. The instructions alone will suffice.

If you are creating a memory tool or an online game, you should include not only the tool or a link to the online game but also a sufficient write-up to indicate how to use the tool or game.

Remember, the audience for your product is high school students.

You will submit your product in groups and everyone in the group will be assigned the same grade. We recommend 1-2 groups per table. Please come see your lab instructor ASAP if you do not have a group.

NOTES:
– Only one submission per group. If more than one submission is on Moodle, only the first one encountered by a grader will be assessed. Be sure to discuss who in the group will be responsible for submission.
– Please name all group members on your first sheet of one file.
– All group members will be given the same grade for this assignment. 

Grading rubric (partial points will be awarded as appropriate)
