Description
Class Experience
Each week we will learn about a different animal. We will look at the structures in that animals brains, and learn some cool facts about how that animal's brain works. We will discuss some of the brain's structures and functions. Students will get an assignment each class for them to complete. Students will have a discussion question to answer each week and will interact with other students in the classroom. Week 1: Elephant brains: Learn why size isn't everything.

Students will learn some of the structures and functions of the brain. They will learn how brains differ from one species to another.
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.
There will be a short assignment or hand out introduced during class. Students can complete the assignment after class.
No live meetings, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
We will be discussing evolution in week three when we learn about crocodile brains. In week two we will be discussing concussions in relation to the woodpecker brain. If either of these topics are a concern for you or your learner please contact me.
