Sending and Receiving Messages

Introduction

In module 1, students learned how to use scientific inquiry to solve problems. In

module 2, they learned about four key parts of the brain and what each part does. During the third

mission, students will simulate the process of neurotransmission: how information gets to

and from the brain.

Learning Objectives

• Students simulate neurotransmission.

• Students discover how messages travel throughout the body.

• Students learn about the relationship between the brain and the rest of the nervous system.

Relationship to the National Science Education Standards

This mission aligns with two standards identified in the NSES: unifying concepts and

processes and science as inquiry. (They use only parts of scientific inquiry for this mission.)

The charts on the next page identify how the mission aligns with each of these standards.
