General NS
The main function of the nervous system
Send and Receive Information/Messages
This part of the eye controls how much light enters.
The Pupil
What does the eye detect?
Light
This sense organ detects light and allows us to see.
The Eye
Before experiments begin, they always start with this:
A Question
This structure acts as the control center, interpreting information and making decisions.
The Brain
The coloured part of the eye is called
The Iris
What is one similarity between rods and cones?
They both detect light and send information to the brain.
Sense organs are the first step in detecting changes in the environment, what is the second step? (Where do they send information to?)
Nerves
This is the thing you change in an expirement
Variable
This structure connects the brain to the rest of the body and allows fast communication
The Spine
This nerve carries visual information from the eye to the brain.
Optic Nerve
This photoreceptor helps us see colour
Cones
This sense organ has receptors for touch, temperature, and pain.
Skin
This is information gathered during an experiment.
Data
These structures carry electrical signals between the brain, spinal cord, and body.
This part of the eye helps to focus light to see both close and far
The Lens
This photoreceptor helps to see in darker lighting
Rods
The Scientific Term for what sense organs detect (starts with an 'S')
Stimulus
This step involves making an educated guess based on observations.
Hypothesis
This type of cell is specialized for sending electrical and chemical messages through the nervous system.
Neurons
This part of the eye controls how big the pupil gets
The Iris
The Retina
This sense organ contains receptors for balance
The Ear
This step explains what the data shows and whether the hypothesis was supported.
