🧠 Our 6th-grade PLTW Medical Detectives are diving deep into the nervous system! This week, students explored how the nervous system functions and took a closer look at neurons—the building blocks of the brain. After learning about the different parts of a neuron and how they work together to send messages throughout the body, students put their creativity to the test! Using a variety of classroom supplies, they built 3D models of neurons and labeled each part to reinforce their understanding. We love seeing hands-on learning in action and watching our future scientists shine! 💡👩‍🔬👨‍🔬
