Sensory Receptors and Motor Response
In this engaging lesson, students will explore the fascinating world of sensory receptors and how they trigger motor responses, using hands-on activities to demonstrate reflex actions and the connection between the nervous system and our senses. Through fun experiments and interactive discussions, learners will gain a deeper understanding of how our bodies perceive and react to different stimuli in our environment.
