By the end of this class, students will be able to identify the basic functions of the four main lobes of the brain! We will discuss what the Parietal, Temporal, Occipital, and Frontal lobes of the brain do and why they are important. Class will be structured as a lecture presentation with questions and student involvement. We will play a short game throughout the class to assess what the students have learned. Content will be taught in visual, auditory, and kinesthetic ways. During class, we will make a PlayDoh brain together. Students do not need any experience or prior knowledge for this lesson. It is a great beginning introduction to the complexities of the human brain.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
There will be a picture of Phineas Gage. He was a railroad worker in 1848 who was impaled in the face with a tamping iron, and survived. His story shows how amazing the brain is and also how the frontal lobe functions. The picture might be graphic to some students. It is a portrait of him holding the tamping iron and his eye is missing. It looks like it is closed. There is also a picture of his skull with the hole in it. It is educational.
Supply List
A one-page handout will be provided for printing. Please bring Play-Doh and something to write with.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Hello!
Welcome to my teacher page! My name is Mackenzie and I am a mother to 3 kids who also enjoy Outschool classes. I was born and raised in Arizona, but now live in the cold midwest. (and LOVE it!)
I also LOVE teaching. Teaching is truly my passion. I have experience teaching students ages 2-18. For the last 7+ years I have been teaching online. I have taught students and teachers from all over the world! I also have volunteered with my local YMCA to create youth enrichment classes that involve art, physical education, music, science, and more. I have coached youth basketball, volleyball, and cheer! Music is also something I love to do. I can play the guitar, trumpet, and a little bit of the piano. While I love to teach, I also love learning new things.
I have am a state certified teacher with a valid teaching license. I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education K-8 Summa Cum Laude from Northern Arizona University. I have a TESOL certificate from Arizona State University.
