This is part B of my nervous system lesson PowerPoint from www.sciencepowerpoint.com. This lesson is just one small part of my human body systems and health topics unit that I offer. This unit includes a bundled homework package, lesson notes, review game, worksheets, and much more.
340. • To Taste…
– We must smell.
– 75% of what we perceive as taste comes from
our sense of smell.
– Volatile (evaporates) molecules from the food
travel up the nasal cavity to nose.

345. Your food tastes
bland when you
are sick because
the molecules
can‟t make it to
your neurons
without getting
trapped in
mucous.
346. • Activity! Smelly Belly (Easier Alternate)
– Students close eyes and pinch nose.
– Teacher passes out a tasty treat.
– Begin chewing with nose pinched and then let
go halfway through.
– How was taste and smell connected?
405. • To hear, you must…
– Direct the sound waves into the hearing part
of the ear.
406. • To hear, you must…

of the ear.
– Sense the fluctuations in air pressure.
407. • To hear, you must…
– Direct the sound waves into the hearing part
of the ear.

– Translate these fluctuations into an electrical
signal that your brain can understand.
472. • Activity Puzzle! The Ear

506. • Which two terms are switched?
• Nerves - These carry electro-chemical signals from the inner ear (the cochlea)
to the brain.
• Stirrup - The tube through which sound travels to the eardrum.
• Pinna - The visible part of the outer ear. It collects sound and directs it into the
outer ear canal
• Semicircular Canals - Three loops of fluid-filled tubes that are attached to the
cochlea in the inner ear. They help us maintain our sense of balance.
• Ear Canal -A tiny, U-shaped bone that passes vibrations from the stirrup to
the cochlea. This is the smallest bone in the human body (it is 0.25 to 0.33 cm
long).
• Anvil :- A tiny bone that passes vibrations from the hammer to the stirrup.
• Cochlea A spiral-shaped, fluid-filled inner ear structure; it is lined with cilia
(tiny hairs) that move when vibrated and cause a nerve impulse to form.
• Eardrum (Also called the tympanic membrane) a thin membrane that vibrates
when sound waves reach it.
• Eustachian Canal - A tube that connects the middle ear to the back of the
nose; it equalizes the pressure between the middle ear and the air outside.
• Hammer A tiny bone that passes vibrations from the eardrum to the anvil.

–Score your own sheet out of 100%
• (10 pts for each correct response)
–Gather the entire classes scores to obtain
average / mean.
• Add all of the scores and divide by the number of
students.
– What was the average grade (%)
• Do our results answer the problem?
550. • Continuation (Optional) Finding standard
deviation and variance.
– Standard variation is the square root on the
variance.
– Variance: The average of the squared
differences from the mean.
551. • Statistical Methods
– The mean / average was…
– Everyone calculate how far away their data was
from the mean / average.
• Ex.) The mean was 80% and I got 60% so I was 20%
from the mean.
– To calculate the variance, take each difference,
square it, and then average the result:
• Ex) 22 + 4.52 + 1.52 + 3.52 + (rest of class)
Divide by total # of students = variance
=

553. • The Standard Deviation is just the square
root of the Variance.
– So square the variance that we found.
Example…
6523 = 80.76%
We now have a standard to show which scores
are high and low and to help answer our problem.

569. This proverb also
refers back to
mediaeval falconry
where a bird in the
hand (the falcon) was
a valuable asset and
certainly worth more
than two in the bush
(the prey).
