Description
Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple. Using the colorful parts provided, students assemble a model of the human brain and learn about its structure and components. They cover the cerebral hemispheres (cerebrum), frontal lobes, temporal lobes, parietal lobes, occipital lobes, cerebellum, pituitary gland, optic chiasma, pons, and medulla oblongata.
This model-making kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively. The included comprehensive teacher resource guide provides illustrated readings, activities, key vocabulary, and an assessment, along with teaching opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend, and Evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented.
