CLASSROOM SPOTLIGHT
Today, Mr. Newcomer’s AP Psychology class did a sleep study. They had to remember how their sleep was the night before and track some of their sleeping data and patterns. They had 5 minutes to complete the initial questionnaire and then 20 minutes to sleep with rain noise in the background. They used the remainder of class to answer some reflection questions on their nap. Did they hit all of the stages of sleep? Did they enter REM? Did you feel more alert afterwards? This was a great hands on activity to illustrate our curriculum.
