Multi-Day Course – Brain Games: Your Fascinating Brain and Nervous System

Students will find the following materials helpful during class. Please bring supplies and printouts to class. You will need:
•	Paper and pen/pencil
•	Colored pens, pencils, or crayons

This multi-day science class will cover brain anatomy, the nervous system, how the brain functions, and how it regulates the systems of the body. Each week, I will supply handouts such as a vocabulary word and pronunciation key to enhance the learning experience. 

Students will explore the brain and nervous system from a scientific and personal perspective. They learn how the brain and nervous system function, and they will apply this knowledge to themselves.

This is an 18-week course. To ensure that learners become familiar with the parts and functions of the nervous system, we will continually review its parts and functions. In each class, we will explore the parts of the nervous system that interact with the corresponding organ system in the body.

Here is the course outline:

Week 1: Brain Development from Newborn to Maturity
Week 2: The Cerebrum: Frontal Lobe, Parietal Lobe, Occipital Lobe, Temporal Lobe
Week 3: Cerebellum and Brainstem
Week 4: Neurons and Neurotransmitters
Week 5: Limbic System
Week 6: Functions of the Brain
Week 7: Multiple Intelligences
Week 8: Central Nervous System
Week 9: Peripheral Nervous System
Week 10: Brain and Cardiovascular System
Week 11: Brain and Respiratory System
Week 12: Brain and Digestive System
Week 13: Brain and Reproductive System
Week 14: Brain and Endocrine System
Week 15: Brain and Immune System
Week 16: Brain and Musculoskeletal System
Week 17: Brain and Excretory System
Week 18: Brain and Integumentary System

Do you learn by seeing, hearing, reading, writing, or doing hands-on activities? Students of all learning styles will gain knowledge while having a blast in this highly interactive, gamified class. We will achieve learning and interaction by using slide presentations, videos, and activities in class. At the end of each class, we will engage in quiz challenges on gamified platforms like Kahoot, Blooket, and Gimkit.

This is an 18-week course with a one-time payment. Videos will be sent to students who aren't able to attend the live class. Class recordings are available after processing, typically 4 hours after class ends.
