2. Introduction: Learning Some Brain Facts
Today’s Activity:
In groups, students will read a section from the Answering Your Questions About The Brain pamphlet and share their information to the other groups
Watch Video as introduction to activity

3. Setting Up “Consultant” Groups
Divide class into 4 groups of about 5-6 students. (Depending on the size of your class you will divide students into more groups and assign duplicate topics to different groups, if necessary.)
Pass out booklets (Answering Your Questions About the Brain) to each student
Assign topics to each group (see next slide)
Students read the assigned pages, mark the text, and take notes (about 5-10 minutes), discuss the text and write down main ideas (5-10 minutes), and then share out to the rest of the class (5-10 minutes) what they have learned.
Let’s learn to keep our brains active throughout life!
