Divide the class into two. One
half participates in a group
discussion to suggest examples
of internal changes in organisms,
stating for each one: the organs /

receptor(s); communication

response(s). The other half
suggests examples of changes in

groups come together to share

at rest, until their channels
close.

how closed voltage-gated
