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. Week 1 Dog brains: Learn how your best friend thinks!

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.
Please bring paper and a pencil to class. I will send a message ahead of class time if there are any other materials necessary for our lesson.
25 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
We will be discussing evolution in week one when we learn about domestication. If this topics is a concern for you or your learner please contact me.
