Learn about the various components of the brain, discover how the brain functions, and investigate the nervous system!
We will cover the brain and the nervous system through three lessons. This unit builds scientific skills such as scientific interpretation, communication, and forming evidence-based conclusions.
In this lesson you will:
Learn about different parts of the human brain
Virtually dissect a human brain and investigate how scientists can dissect a human brain
Learn about different career options for people interested in studying the brain and the nervous system
In this lesson you will:
Discover how we can trick our brains
Learn about the science behind optical illusions
Investigate how our brains perceive things
In this lesson you will:
Learn about the different components of a neuron
Construct your own neuron
Discover how the nervous system functions
Learn about reaction time and test your own reaction time
