October 29: Spooky Day -- Cow Eyes, Perceptual Set, and Pop Quiz
1)Neuron Notes. You wrote a new question on perception and read the answers from last time.
2) Returned Work. It is the end of the quarter and grades are set. I returned all your classwork and homework. Thank you for your patience.
3) Pop Quiz on Chapter 6. This was easy for those of you with notes. Those of you without notes are going to have a very hard time on Friday's test. Get caught up!!
4) Cow Eye Dissection. http://www.exploratorium.edu/learning_studio/cow_eye/ In groups of 4-5, we dissected a cow eye!!! It was awesome! You did a great job! Once the fat and muscle was removed, you were able to investigate the iris, pupil, lens, aqueous humor, tapetum, etc. It was a great experiment.
5) Perceptual Set. I restated the definition -- a mental predisposition to perceive one thing and not another. This is an important concept for life that I would like you to remember. We get stuck in how we perceive the world...try to shake your perception up! I read a great letter from a college student to her parents. :)
Assignments:
1) STUDY!!!! The test on chapters 5 and 6 is on Friday!
2) Sensation/Perception Activity. Finish up one of the five activities. Due on Friday.
