Student Learning Targets:
Knowledge Targets
I can identify the three sections of the brain and their respective functions (cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem).
I can identify the three parts of a neuron and their respective functions (neuron, axon and cell body).
I can differentiate between sensory and motor nerves.
