| Sleep and the Circadian ClockIn the first segment of the Right Ratio of Rest: Proportional Reasoning, Lynn Swann gives a summary of the entire video. Next Jennifer Pulley explains to the circadian clock to R. J. and how sleep in space differs from sleep on Earth. The first segment ends with a inquiry based question about Norbert and Zot as they encounter light dark cycles on other planets.Grades 6-8 Science |
| Sleep ScheduleIn the fourth segment of the Right Ratio of Rest: Proportional Reasoning, R. J. talks with Dr. Dave Williams about the things that interfere with astronauts sleep in space. Dr. Dave Williams tells R. J. what it is like to sleep in space. Later on, R. J. receives a call from Dr. Charles Czeisler, Dr. Czeisler gives R.J. a schedule so that R.J. can get the full amount of sleep that he needs. At the end of the segment Jennifer Pulley reviews what we learned about sleep patterns and rest.Grades 6-8 Science |
| Benefits of SleepIn the second segment of the Right Ratio of Rest: Proportional Reasoning, R.J. talks with Dr. Charles Czeisler about what the circadian clock is and what it does in the body. Dr. Charles Czeisler also discusses the factors that influence the circadian clock and the benefits of sleep.Grades 6-8 Science |
