Steps in Neural Transmission Class Challenge Goal: gain a hands-on idea of how electrical information is passed along an axon for neural transmission to occur. • • 1 Facilitator and 12 students. Facilitator- Assign the following roles to each student in your group: electrical stimulus, dendrite, cell body, axon, myelin sheath (use four students for this one), positive ion, negative ion, terminal button, and neighboring neuron. (use the text to help you understand what each role does) Group – Students line up in the correct order of neural transmission. Facilitator – Orchestrate the group to ‘act out’ each of the steps and have each student act out their parts as you are going through the steps. Do this a couple of times until you think they have the hang of it. Next, allow the students to run through the steps by themselves. (Extra points for creativity) © The Mc. Graw-Hill Companies, Inc.
