Session 2 - Grades 4, 5, and 6

6/25/2020

0 Comments

 
In this session (Thursday 6/25), we dove deeper into the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes through interactive activities and an experiment! We discussed each function in more detail and how these three lobes work together all of the time. Specifically, we discussed the frontal lobe functions of problem-solving through riddles and a problem-solution scenario and the connections between speech and emotion through jokes. We performed a small lab involving different-temperature water to establish that the way that we perceive stimuli depends on the circumstances. To dive deeper into the temporal lobe, we learned about a couple of auditory illusions and discussed the three different types of memory (working, implicit, and explicit), along with the connection between memory and emotion. Finally, we connected these three lobes through discussing the process in which language is analyzed, including the temporal-parietal junction. We also reviewed the guidelines for the program's cumulative neuroscience-based project, which are attached below. Overall, I hope that the students were able to enjoy learning more about these lobes' functions and are excited for next week! You can find the slideshow used for this session 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!
