2. Warm Up
Objective: Scientists will describe the brain by analyzing a selected reading and by creating a model.
What is the topic? The brain
What will you be doing? Analyzing a selected reading, creating a model
Why is this important? Understand more about ourselves, brain controls everything, future career
How will you know if you have done well? Able to describe the brain and completed work

3. Selected Reading Example

4. Selected Reading Example
Largest, complex mass of nervous tissue

5. Analysis
Analysis—write on lined paper and attach if you need more space
Choose at least 5 parts of the brain. What might a person experience if that part of the brain was not functioning correctly? Be sure to name the part of the brain and what may happen.
Example:
1. Corpus callosum: if this did not work correctly, a person’s left and right brain would not work together. Poor coordination, multidimensional task issues.

6. Model Create a model with the “brain hat.”
Label the different parts of the brain. NOTE: Use pencil first to verify proper placement.
Color code the different sections.
Write a symbol or draw a picture that represents the function of that section of the brain.
Do not cut anything out until you have done the above!
