Session 1 - Grades 1, 2, and 3

6/17/2020

0 Comments

 
On Tuesday (6/16), I held session 1 (An Introduction to the Nervous System), and we had a lot of fun talking about the different lobes of the brain and the basics of neurons! One thing that a lot of students enjoyed learning about were the mnemonics that we used to remember the different lobes of the brain. To remember the names of the lobes, we used "Fried Pickles Taste Oily." For the frontal lobe, we remembered the front door shows you most of the house, for the parietal lobe, we thought of a parrot repeating what you say, for the temporal lobe, we remembered that the tempo of music reminds you that you are listening, and for the occipital lobe we thought of an octopus with eyes on its tentacles! You can find the slideshow used for this session along with some of the flashcards that students created based on their understanding of this session's materials below this text. These educational resources are free for anyone to use, and I am excited to share them with you! I utilized the platform PearDeck to make these slides interactive and held the session on the Zoom platform. Comment or use the "contact" tab to let me know how you liked this session/resource!
