Morning MiNDS - Let’s talk about Neurons

In this lesson we will talk about the building block of the nervous system, neurons! We will learn about the different parts of the neuron and make our very own brain cell using pipe cleaners. If you were not able to pick up an experiment bag from us, here is what you will need for our activity: 1 blue pipe cleaner uncut (cell body), 1 red pipe cleaner with ⅓ cut off the end (axon, axon terminal), 1 green pipe cleaner cut into three equal pieces (dendrites), and 1 white pipe cleaner cut into three equal pieces (myelin).
