Lesson Plans
  • Brain Regions In Action # After a lecture, students will work in groups to create concept maps to describe the structure of the brain and give everyday examples of the function of each part. This resource is aligned with required Biology EOC benchmark SC.912.L.14.26. This lesson plan goes beyond the content and can be used to reinforce understanding of the brain functions, not just location of the main brain regions. It may also be aligned to the Anatomy and Physiology standard.
  • Brain Power # Students will learn the different regions and lobes of the brain by making a 3D model.
  • Edible Brain # This resource gives students the opportunity to inquire about the major components of the human brain, research the major components of the brain and then create a yummy model of the brain. The variety of strategies presented in this resource keeps students engaged while learning to identify parts of the brain.
  • What's So Major about Your Brain? # Students will interact with a brain model and apply the major areas of the brain to the locations within their own head.
  • Major Parts of the Brain # This is a whole class internet lesson on the major parts and their functions of the brain. It includes the the lobe of the cerebrum, cerebellum, and the brainstem; midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata.
  • Journey into the Brain # In this lesson, students view and discuss video segments from the PBS program The Human Spark as they learn about the human brain, including information about brain regions, brain activity and technologies used to explore the brain.
  • Of Mice and Memory - Brain Anatomy Activity # A PBS NOVA Classroom Activity with related video that models the brain and extends the learning to application of understanding how Alzheimers' disease impacts the brain.
  • Brain Trauma # Students investigate how bicycle helmets protect the brain from forces related to sudden changes in motion.
  • Brain Storm # This lesson is a series of short activities centering on the brain benchmark for the Biology I EOC.
  • Houston, We Have A Brain Problem: Neurological Disorders and Where They Occur In the Brain # Students learn about and diagram the major parts of the brain and where different neurological disorders occur.
  • Parts of the Brain # Students will learn about the parts of the brain by investigating digital resources. This lesson centers around the Glog .
  • Your Brain, In Living Color # This activity implements a web resource to teach students the major parts of the brain and a some functions. It is an interactive site and can be adapted to fit any classroom.

  • Cerebral Blood Supply: Part 2 #
    In this Khan Academy tutorial video, learn about the arteries that serve your brain. This is a continuation from Cerebral Blood Supply: Part 1.
  • Cerebral Blood Supply: Part 1 # In this Khan Academy video tutorial, learn the main important arteries in the brain that bring necessary oxygen to all parts of the brain.
Virtual Manipulative
  • Mapping the Brain # This PBS virtual interaction allows students to map the brain using six different realistic virtual imaging techniques. Students are able to view color-coded regions of the brain and explanations of the functions of major brain parts are available as well.
