Our devoted team of five undergraduates, Kristy "Half Grad" Frick, Heather "The Freshmen" Tropiano, Katryna "The Huracaine" Reilly, Nathan "Amiee's  Lil'Bro" McLaughlin, and Brentt "Insert your own deprecating humor" Swetter,  will face a ravenous group of girl scouts and teach them the ways of the fabled action potential as part of Kids Judge.  Kids Judge is presented by University of Scranton's chapter of APSSC, and is an optianal assinment of  Dr. Cannon's Behavioral Neuroscience course.  
We will do this using PowerLab 4/25T, Chart v. 5, and your average every day night crawler.  We will also be using a Fun Facts worksheets, made by our group, as an edicational aid for our presentation. We will hook up stimulating electrodes and with a stimulation send an action potential down the main neuron of the the earth worm to the receptor electrodes at the other end of the worm.  Chart v. 5 will then show the action potential.  we will then give the now slightly more civilized horde a work sheet to complete their enlightenment with the possibility of punch and pie* as a reinforcer.actionpotental
