By sharing their responses to a series of stimuli, students see how responses to the same stimulus vary from individual to individual. Styles People learn by bringing information to their brains through their senses. Most people use one of their senses more than the others. This denotes a particular learning style. Students will identify their own learning style.
Students create a clay brain demonstrating the four parts and labeling their functions.
The complexity of the connections between the structures of the brain and between the brain and body is illustrated here. In a relay type exercise, students represent parts of the brain and body. These parts are connected and signals are sent through the maze of connections. One relay takes the brain through the process of ordering a pizza, from the realization of hunger to the first bite. The topic of this lesson is neurons and nerve transmission.
