Parts of the Brain

In our IPC unit Brainwave we are starting to look at the specific parts of the brain and the roles they play in regards to our bodies.  We also look to incorporate technology in many ways in the classroom thus was the case during today's lessons.

First students listened to an article read to them online (kidshealth.org/kid/htbw/brain.html).  They had the same article in front of them in paper form as well.

Second, in partners they gleaned information read by noting the parts of the brain and a role that specific part played.  We then discussed our answers in a whole class setting as we found out that each part of the brain had multiple roles in our body functioning.
