Basic Lesson: After using the “Brain Hat” and The Human Brain book, students will learn how the different parts of the nervous system are used in their reflexes by testing their reflexes catching a ball and using a reflex hammer. They will also role play the different parts of the nervous system by simulating what happens when the brain signals the hand to drop an object.
Advanced Lesson: Using memory activities, the students will explore how each person learns differently (learning styles) and how different stimuli affect memory. They will also graph their results and determine which learning style is favored by the students in the classroom.
