Objectives
SC.912.L – Identify the major parts of the brain on diagrams or models.
I will identify the 3 major parts of the brain, the 4 lobes of the cerebrum, and 2 parts of the brain stem:
Cerebrum
frontal lobe
temporal lobe
parietal lobe
occipital lobe
cerebellum
brain stem
pons
medulla oblongata

3. The Parts of the Brain
Cerebrum
(4 lobes)
Brain Stem

4. Identify all four lobes of the cerebrum: frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital
Frontal Lobe
Parietal Lobe
Temporal Lobe
Occipital Lobe

5. Compare a human brain to a sheep brain
What observations can you make about the size and shape of the cerebrum in both brains?
What’s the adaptive value of a larger cerebrum?
What observation can you make about the location of the cerebrum in relation to the cerebellum?
Sheep Brain
Human Brain
To the Teacher:

22. Labels that must appear on the hat:
Brain Hat Project
Labels that must appear on the hat:
Frontal lobe (cerebrum)
Parietal lobe (cerebrum)
Occipital lobe (cerebrum)
Temporal lobes (cerebrum)
Cerebellum
Pons (brain stem)
Medulla oblongata (brain stem)
Construct a 3-D hat of any shape and size, and made of any material (except food).
The different parts of the brain must be drawn onto the corresponding location on the hat.
All brain parts must be labeled correctly.
