Lesson 3: The Command Center (Brain & CNS)
Duration of Days: 4
Lesson Objective
Map brain regions and explain their functions.
Which part controls behavior
What happens when regions are damaged
Cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, frontal lobe, corpus callosum, neuroplasticity
HS-LS1-2
Analyzing scientific narratives
Identify brain regions
Connect structure to function
Purpose is linking anatomy to behavior
