7th/8th Grade Trip to SLU

The 7th and 8th Grade students have been studying the brain for the past few weeks.  They learned about the anatomy and functions of the different areas of the brain.  They also made brain hats to help understand the area and functions.

We saw a video of a sheep brain dissection.  The students then went to SLU to dissect a sheep brain to learn more.

After the trip to SLU they will then compare the similarities and differences between a sheep brain and human brain.  They will also looking at diseases of the brain and abnormalities as well as how to keep our brains as healthy as possible.  The students are also finding science current events regarding the brain as well.
