Anatomy Webquest Assignment
WebQuest: Neurotransmitters, Cravings & Addiction
Objectives:
1.) The student will be able to explain the structure and the function of each part of the neuron.
2.) The student will be able to explain the connection between neurotransmission and addiction.
Have you ever wondered why you crave chocolate or have to have your morning coffee?
Have you ever wondered why you need that can of cola to keep awake during the day?
In this investigation you will explore the connection between addiction and neurotransmission to help answer the question why. You will take a look at how caffeine, as well as how nicotine, alcohol, marijuana and cocaine can affect neurotransmission in the human body. You will also learn the parts of a neuron and how they function.
This webquest is divided into two parts:
1.) The Basics: “The neuron – its parts & how it works”
A.) What is a neuron?
B.) What are the parts of a neuron?
C.) How do neurons work?
D.) What is the connection between neurons, the brain and the body?
E.) Quiz: What did you learn about the neuron?
2.) An Example: “Is caffeine addictive?”
A.) What is caffeine?
B.) Which foods and beverages contain caffeine?
C.) How does caffeine affect neurotransmission?

Science Class Bonus Challenge Question
As promised from Tuesday's class, sorry its just a little later than planned.
This is more of a math problem than science...Sorry! 3 point bonus...first correct answer (all 3 parts) gets the bonus. I will not tell if you get one, two, or none of the parts correct.
Suppose a runner wants to know how much less weight he carries overall for the length of a marathon if he switches from shoes that weigh 10.5 oz per shoe to a pair that weighs 8.3 oz. Typically, for him, it takes about 1000 steps to run a mile and a marathon is 26.2 miles long. How much total weight does he save?
For full credit you must have
part 1 - answer in ounces
part 2 - answer in pounds
part 3 - answer in kg

round 2
well that didn't take long....Jenny Huynh successfully put just a 4 in front "HF" and a 2 in front of "H2O" to get the bonus.
Round 2 will be harder....
#48
I will give a round 3 if time permits
Round 2 will be harder....
#48
I will give a round 3 if time permits
Physical Science equation balance challenge
For 3 bonus points (all or nothing), balance #16 please.
It says SiO2 + HF ----- SiF4 + H2O
I cannot shrink the subscripts, but you can tell all those numbers are subscripts.
I will either be in room 331 or in the cafeteria for the rest of the day.
If this one is solved before end of 3rd block, I will put another up for 4th block. Must be turned in before 3:00 on MY watch.
good luck

Welcome Back!
Greetings Students! Welcome back to a new school year and a chance for all of us to make ourselves better and smarter.
This year I will be teaching 2 sections of Honors Anatomy and 1 section of Physical Science each semester. Classes will all be held in Room 331.
All students are asked to secure a 1.5" or 2" 3-ring binder. Papers will be passed out with holes punched already.
Physical Science students are also asked to have a basic function calculator with them at all times.
This website will have a variety of information available on it throughout the year. Typically, basic lesson plans will be posted at the beginning of each week so you can check to see when homework and other assignments are posted.
Welcome back and be sure to start the new school year with a fresh outlook!

New School Record Holder in the Mousetrap!
A four year old school record was broken Tuesday during the bi-annual mousetrap competition. Freshman Halle Puening created a mousetrap racer that traveled 89' 1" breaking the old record of 85' 1" set by Anne Marie O'Toole and Maddie Griffith four years ago. For winning her class's competition Halle earned full credit plus 10 bonus points and another 5 for setting the school record.
Congratulations Halle!
Class photos from the competition can be found on a link to the right.

*note – hold your finger on the “control” button as you place your cursor on the weblink to actually go to that site.
For this assignment go to www.kieserspace.blogspot.com.
Step 1: Copy and paste this entire assignment into Microsoft Word before you start it.
Step 2: Save the assignment to your computer’s hard drive under your folder with the title “rocket boys assignment”
Step 3: complete all the questions below as directed then re-save this assignment. Close the Word document and email it to the teacher as an attachment at fkieser@sja1890.org
***tips on working with pictures
Tip 1 – When you find a picture you like, RIGHT click on it and choose “copy image”
Tip 2 – “paste” your image by using the RIGHT click again the choosing paste. Place the image in the location you would like it in your document.
Tip 3 – Adjusting the size and location of the image in your document. Once the image is in your document, it might be too large or in a strange place. Double click on the image and a “format picture” pop up appears. Click on the “layout” tab, then choose “square”. This will allow you to change the shape of the picture and move it anywhere you like.
**********************************
I. The location of Coalwood. (2 pts)
Go to www.mapquest.com and type in Coalwood, WV
What two states (other than WV) are closest to Coalwood?
1. 2.
While on mapquest, click on the “directions” icon at the top and type in Cleveland, OH for your starting location and Coalwood, WV for your ending location.
3. How much time does Mapquest say it would take? (1 pt)
4. How many miles does Mapquest say it is? (1 pt)
Comparing Coalwood to Cleveland (2 pts)
5. In the space below (or on the next page), copy and paste a picture of both “coal-mining Coalwood” AND “steel mill Cleveland” from 1950. You may use any search function to do this, but be sure to also credit where on the internet you found each picture. For the picture credit be sure to include 3 things: 1. The website you found it on. 2. The photographer (if available). 3. The year it was taken.
6. From the book, find 3 coal mining objects that you can find pictures of and paste below. Again, list the website, photographer and year. (3 pts)
7. Copy and paste a picture of “sputnik”. Cite the website, photographer, and year. (1 pt)
8. Find a picture of Wernher von Braun. Cite the website, photographer, and year. (1 pt)
9. Compare the towns of Coalwood and Cleveland. The best I can do for you is mention that the same way Coalwood was a mining town depending on coal, Cleveland was a steel town. This is only a 3 point question, so you go any direction with this you like. (3 pts)
