Brain Anatomy and Physiology Activity Stations
What's the best way to learn the anatomy and physiology of each part of the human brain? Use that part! The Big Idea: This activity includes 15 stations (+ an 8-page student packet). Each station is about one specific part of the brain (ex. hypothalamus). At each station, students will complete a fun challenge to use that part of the brain! Here are a few examples:The parietal lobe is crucial to spatial awareness. After reading a quick blurb on the parietal lobe, students will complete a jigsaw

Psychology The Trolley Problem Moral Philosophy Ethics
We were talking about Kohlberg and morality and one of my students asked me about "trolley" problems. That was my inspiration! If you are not aware of "trolley problems" they go something like this... "A trolley has lost its brakes and is headed down a track and will kill 5 people. You can flip the switch and only one person will be killed. What do you do?" Of course, there are a million variations of these kinds of problems too. While not strictly psychology I think these problems are interesti

Reflexes & Reaction Time Lab Activities- Nervous System, Anat & Phys, no key
Updated 1/21/21!After feedback about how the lab was more about reaction time rather than reflexes, I re-vamped the lab to actually include reflexes, not just reaction time activities. These are all low-material things you can do with objects that can generally be found around the house. ------Part 1: Students test their reaction time using a ruler and a website (two different ways of testing the same idea). The website is fun- they have to tranquilize sheep. The only materials needed for Part 1
