Psychology: Biological Bases of Behavior Activity Bundle

This bundle includes activities and lessons that can be used in-class, with distance learning, and/or independently. They are meant to introduce, teach, reinforce, and study the material in the biological perspective unit of a psychology class. The fact or myth game is a fun introduction to intrigue students about the material and gauge their prior knowledge. This bundle includes the PDF version and the PowerPoint version of the same activity. The mirror neurons experiment and orange brain diagram can be used to teach or reinforce the terms included. The Brain Games viewing guide shows students how humans have hacked their brains in order to perform at the highest levels. The task cards offer flexibility in reviewing the vocabulary and bingo is a fun way to wrap up and review the chapter or study for a test. I've also included the independent work packet, which includes some of the same activities, as well as others in a PDF that can be completed independently by students.
