In this class we will look at images of dolphin brains, discuss the brain's structures, and learn why dolphins are thought to be the second smartest animal in the world. We will learn through group discussion, readings, and activities. We will discuss whether dolphins are as smart as humans, read about dolphin language, and discuss dolphin brain size. We will look at the human brain in order to compare it to the dolphin brain structures. By learning about dolphin brains and brain structures I aim to develop a growth mindset and understanding of the brain.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Psychology was a large part of my Child Youth and Family studies program in University. When I had the chance to take an elective I chose a psychology course, and I have never stopped being fascinated with the brain. I believe that it is more important to teach children how to learn than it is to force them to learn. By teaching children about the brain I aim to build life long learners who understand how to strengthen their own mind. I also had a veterinarian for a Mom, so animals have always been a passion of mine and part of my life. Reviews
