Labeling of the different Lobes the Brain
Objective:
-
• Draw a poster of a lateral view of the brain in order to label the different lobes of the brain.
-
• Learn what causes some people to be more musically intelligent than others.
Materials: Create a Science Center for all supplies.
Five sheets of different colored paper for each group
Markers/Crayons for each group
Scissors and glue for each group
Large poster paper 3' x 4' (one for each group)
Four 8"x12" copies of overhead (Lateral view of the Brain)
Procedure: Have students vote on their own supply manager who will be in charge of retrieving and returning all supplies to the Science Center.
Students will label their own copy of the different lobes of the brain from viewing an overhead developed by the teacher.
As a group students will discuss how they will draw a lateral cut out of a human brain and take their colored paper and label those parts of the brain.
Students will pick a person to explain their project to the class.
Note: This is a good lesson to reinforce the vocabulary of the different parts of the brain. (See overhead page for Vocabulary words as well as general information about the brain.)
