Class 1/3: Brains development and structure/function.
Hands-on: Make clay brains of Insects, fish, reptiles, birds, cat/dog and human. Then color 5 major brain structures to visualize how brain evolved from reptiles to Humans. Then, learn about the structure/function of different parts of the brains and how they work. How to surprise the Broca's area to get the attention needed...
Class 2/3: Neurons - Central unit of brain function
Hands-on: Make a giant neuron firing up chemicals.
Learn the role of the main chemicals used by neurons to communicate with each others. Central and peripheral nervous system.
What are the techniques to measure brain function? MRI, CT-scan...
Class 3/3: Growth Mindset and Neural connection!
Hands-on: Make a brain hat.
Why is learning from mistakes good for our brain, and how does that make us smarter?
How can simple connections between neurons differentiate us as individuals?
What is a growth mindset and why should we embrace it?
