This week in Neuroscience w/Ms. Torres & Ms. Brown [email protected] [email protected]
Concepts
In this unit (Brain Comparisons) it is important for students to be able to understand:
1. Intelligence in animals is related to the amount of wrinkling of the cerebrum and to the relative size of the brain,
as compared to body size.
2. How to apply prior knowledge to a new situation, calculate percentages and estimate proportions.
Activities
1. Independent Practice: Vocabulary practice and Reading Link (will be done in class).
2. Group Activity:
- Brain Proportions Activity: Students will calculate brain to body ratio. The intelligence of an animal is related to
the proportion of brain weight to body weight. Absolute size of the brain does not determine intelligence.
- A Most Amazing Animal Activity: Students will be asked to imagine characteristics and activities of a fictitious
animal and to decide what kind of brain the animal would need. Students should be able to justify their ideas
using concepts from Activities 1-5.
3. Group Discussion: Students will discuss their calculations and rankings of animal intelligence. Students will
present their creations to the class and speak about their descriptions and drawings of their animal.
4. Literature Circles: Skullduggery - Chapters 8-11
5. Worksheet(s): Brain Proportions, A Most Amazing Animal, Reading Link Packet
