A detailed and engaging power point presentation all about synapses.
This presentation is designed to be taught over 2 lessons and covers the last two sections of the 5.3 Neuronal Communication chapter.
In the first lesson, the power point outlines the basic structure of a cholinergic synapse, including the pre-synaptic bulb and post-synaptic membrane (including detailed diagrams and pictures). It then has a link to an animation of the transmission of acetylcholine across the synapse, which students then need to use to complete a 'comic strip' activity showing the main stages involved in this.
In the second lesson, students must complete the 'more about synapses' worksheet which covers the various functions of synapses, EPSPs, IPSPs, convergence and divergence of neurones and memory, learning and habituation.
This bundle also includes 'Neuronal Communication Revision Bingo' for a fun way to summarise and revise all the key terms learnt in this chapter.
5.3.5-6 (d) To know the structure and roles of synapses in
neurotransmission.
To include the structure of a cholinergic synapse
and the action of neurotransmitters at the synapse
and the importance of synapses in summation and
control.
