Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about The Body's Information Processing System. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
The size of a human pupil changes in response to the amount of light in its environment.
Plants and animals demonstrate a variety of physiological and behavioral responses to internal stimuli to protect the organism and maintain homeostasis.
Organ systems work together to carry out the life functions of an organism.
Internal stimuli are signals that come from inside of an organism's body.
Fight or flight is a stress response that occurs in the bodies of animals in response to a perceived threat in the environment.
External stimuli are signals that come from the external environment.
A negative response is a signal sent to the central nervous system that decreases a response to a stimulus.
Nervous tissues in an organism detect and respond to stimuli.
When an animal ingests poisonous food, it will throw up in response.
Responding to stimuli is a life function of an organism.
A reflex is an automatic behavioral response to an external stimulus.
A neuron is a specialized cell that sends electrical signals throughout the nervous system.
Sensory neurons in an organism detect stimuli and send the signals to the central nervous system for processing.
Plants and animals demonstrate a variety of physiological and behavioral responses to external stimuli in their environments.
A positive response is a signal sent to the central nervous system that increases a response to a stimulus.
Motor neurons carry signals from the central nervous sytem to muscles, causing voluntary or involuntary movements.
The nervous system responds to stimuli in the environment and controls voluntary and involuntary actions in the human body.
The organs in a body form the organ systems in a living organism.
The sense organs of the human body are skin, eyes, tongue, nose, and ears.
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
What are some ways we gather information about our surroundings? What are the senses that humans have? Which organs are involved in helping us respond to things going on around us?
After the Game
What connections were needed in order for the kitten to respond to its environment? What are two examples of automatic responses that help protect the kitten? What do motor neurons connect?
