Description

This brain investigation lets students "play" with their brains! Student favorite!

Find this resource in our Nervous System Unit!

In this activity, students will:

  • "Test" and investigate 14 different parts of their brains (including several cranial nerves) by following some simple step-by-step instructions.
  • Answer questions on a corresponding worksheet.

Page 1 + 2 are instructions (Save time - make one class set and reuse over and over!)

Page 3 + 4 are the student response pages.

The supply list is extremely easy - I promise! You'll need some simple and very easy-to-find materials such as pipe cleaners and straws. You'll also need to assemble some small containers with things to shake (pennies, pebbles - whatever you have on hand), and small containers of things to smell (vinegar, coffee - again, whatever you have on hand).

Standards

NGSSMS-LS1-3
Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells. Emphasis is on the conceptual understanding that cells form tissues and tissues form organs specialized for particular body functions. Examples could include the interaction of subsystems within a system and the normal functioning of those systems. Assessment does not include the mechanism of one body system independent of others. Assessment is limited to the circulatory, excretory, digestive, respiratory, muscular, and nervous systems.
NGSSMS-LS1-8
Gather and synthesize information that sensory receptors respond to stimuli by sending messages to the brain for immediate behavior or storage as memories. Assessment does not include mechanisms for the transmission of this information.
