Content Standard(s):
Science 11 ) Investigate different ways animals receive information through the senses,
process that information, and respond to it in different ways (e.g., skunks
lifting tails and spraying an odor when threatened, dogs moving ears when
reacting to sound, snakes coiling or striking when sensing vibrations).

Evidence Of Student Attainment:
Students:
Investigate different ways animals receive information through the senses.
Investigate different ways animals process the information they receive and how they respond to it. Teacher Vocabulary:
investigate
evidence
transmit
perception
receptors
senses
sensory information
process
memories Knowledge:
Students know:
Different types of sense receptors detect specific types of information within the environment.
Sense receptors send information about the surroundings to the brain.
Information that is transmitted to the brain by sense receptors can be processed immediately as perceptions of the environment and/or stored as memories.
Immediate perceptions or memories processed by the brain influences an animal's actions or responses to features in the environment. Skills:
Students are able to:
Identify different ways animals receive, process, and respond to information.
Identify evidence of different ways animals receive, process, and respond to information to be investigated.
Plan ways to Investigate different ways animals receive, process, and respond to information.
Collect and communicate data of different ways animals receive, process, and respond to information. Understanding:
Students understand that:
Sensory input, the brain, and behavioral output are all parts of a system that allows animals to engage in appropriate behaviors. AMSTI Resources:

EU: Identifying the qualities and characteristics of media artworks improves one's artistic appreciation and production.
Skill Examples:
After watching a commercial for a car, respond to teacher questions to identify, describe, and explain how the messages were created by the individual components.
After watching a series of commercials for shoes, respond to teacher questions to identify and describe the various methods and styles and the effect on the class.
With guidance, watch and respond to a series of political ads. By responding to teacher questions, tell the purpose, meaning and message of each and how interpretation is affected by context.
Using a class made checklist for basic principles, processes, and context grade one of your own media arts products and make changes to make it better.
