Hormone+projects

=Documentaries on hormones= Remember the learning outcome
 * Using one or more examples, explain functions of two hormones in human behaviour. **
 * Upload your group documentary on hormones by going to the Video Portal (in Media) in the SAS Learning portal OR uploading via google presentations
 * Using the embed code, place your link in the space below.

toc =Peer comments= With your partner, choose 2 iMovies to critique (one should be on a hormone you investigated, one should be on a different hormone) Base your assessment on the SAQ mark-bands (below) as well as the following key points:
 * ONE hormone is explained
 * The basic role of the hormone is identified ** (ie. overview of behaviors - 1 statement) **
 * How the hormone is released (1 statement)
 * 2 studies used as support
 * Each study is outlined
 * Conclusions from the study are explicitly linked to explaining the** link between the hormone and its impact on a specific behavior **

__ **Markbands and Descriptors** __ // 0 - The answer does not reach a standard described by the descriptors below. //

// **Low** (1 to 3) There is an attempt to answer the question, but knowledge and understanding is limited, often inaccurate, or of marginal relevance to the question. //

// **Mid** (4 to 6) The question is partially answered. Knowledge and understanding is accurate but limited. Either the command term is not effectively addressed or the response is not sufficiently explicit in answering the question. //

// **High (7 to 8)** The question is answered in a focused and effective manner and meets the demands of the command term. The response is supported by appropriate and accurate knowledge and understanding of research. //

=Adrenaline=

media type="custom" key="24469636" //[|The Morgan study]is a complicated one to use, because it is essentially a study of neuropeptide Y (NPY - classified as a neurotransmitter upon its isolation in 1982), rather than adrenaline. NPY's significance is in its impact on adrenaline and other stress hormones, because it breaks them down. When Morgan examined plasma levels of NPY (comparing base line levels with levels after survival training, and after the Prisoner of War interrogation scenario), of those Special Forces (SP) troops who exhibited more clearheadedness in both scenarios, he found higher levels of NPY. He concluded that high levels of NPY (higher than baseline) may be related to stress resilience - better mental clarity under stress. He also acknowledged that NPY is increased by uncontrollable stress. (Consider - Why were the SP plasma NPY levels different to non-special forces, whose levels dropped below baseline after the scenarios, where the SP troops actually stayed elevated?)// //If you want to use this study, you will need to explain this through focusing on NPY rather than adrenaline.//
