Our sensory receptors enable us to feel pain, experience different sensations like heat and cold and pressure,and learn about the internal and external environment around us. A chain of events needs to occur in the nervous system, via sensory receptors and stimuli, to help fire off nerve fibers that send important messages to the brain.
Students can use Wixie to synthesize their knowledge about the impact of receptors and stimuli on the central nervous system and how these receptors influence the things we do everyday.
Assign the Sensory Receptor Book to have students explain how sensory receptors work with text, voice and examples.
