Models are powerful tools for teaching science because they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple.
First students assemble the model using the colorful parts, then they use it to identify key parts of the brain.
The model covers the cerebral hemispheres (cerebrum), frontal lobes, temporal lobes, parietal lobes, occipital lobes, cerebellum, pituitary gland, optic chiasma, pons and medulla oblongata.
The Model Making Kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively. The comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide included 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.
