Panic Button Slides
A comprehensive slide deck for High School Biology/Anatomy focusing on the physiological mechanisms of panic attacks. It includes warm-up prompts, an embedded educational video, and detailed breakdowns of the sympathetic (gas pedal) and parasympathetic (brake pedal) responses.
False Alarm Worksheet
A structured student worksheet for tracking the physiology of panic attacks. It includes a warm-up comparison activity, a focused video note-taking section for brain regions and neurotransmitters, a large workspace for a neural response flowchart, and critical thinking reflection questions.
Panic Response Poster
A high-impact visual reference chart comparing the Sympathetic (Gas Pedal) and Parasympathetic (Brake Pedal) nervous systems. It highlights key brain regions (Amygdala vs. Prefrontal Cortex), primary hormones/neurotransmitters (Adrenaline vs. Acetylcholine), and specific physiological symptoms for each state.
Panic Button Teacher Guide
A professional instructional guide for educators, featuring a detailed pacing schedule, discussion prompts, and a comprehensive answer key for the 'False Alarm' worksheet. It provides pedagogical context for the autonomic nervous system and strategies for facilitating the student activity.
