動物大腦：寵物

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! We will discuss how wild wolves became friendly and loyal dogs by living with humans, a process called domestication.

Week 2 Cat brains: We will debate whether we think cats or dogs are smarter and why. We will get to see images of cat brains to understand what is going on under all of the kitty fluff. 

Week 3 Parrot/ parakeet brains: We will look at the structure of a bird brain, and explore what it is that makes parrots so smart.

Week 4 Goldfish brains: We will discuss the myth of a three second memory. While discussing goldfish memories we will learn how even fish can learn and remember tricks.
