2. Guide students to search for information from internet sources
and the library on neuroglia. Ask them to note their categories
and specific functions in the nervous system.

and the library on neurones. Ask them to note their categories
and specific functions in the nervous system.
4. Organise students in groups to explore types of neurons and
classification of neurones based on the number of dendrites.
Ask them to describe what they have observed.
5. Assign students to do Exercise 4.1 from the Student’s Book.
Mark the exercise and provide feedback.
6. Guide students to search from internet sources the simulations/
videos showing resting potential and action potential. Ask
students to write short notes.
7. Use images/videos to guide students to describe conduction of
nerve impulse along the axon.
8. Guide students to search from the internet sources the
simulations or videos showing synaptic transmission in nerve
impulse. Ask them to describe what they have observed.
9. Assign students to do Exercise 4.2 from the Student’s Book.
Mark the exercise and provide feedback.

4.2 Sensory receptor

Teaching steps
1. Guide students to search for information from library and
internet sources on classification of sensory receptors based
on (a) structure, (b) type of stimuli and (c) the location of the
stimuli they detect. Ask them to write notes.

2. Organise students in groups to discuss the mammalian eye.
Ask them to describe eye accommodation and the structure of
retina.
