Brain Hats in Science

Year 9 Nervous System Unit

Year 9 students have made ‘brain hats’ in class as part of their Nervous System unit in Science, covering the brain.

The idea was to show that, generally speaking, the cerebral cortex can be divided into two hemispheres and four lobes, each with specific roles. It also highlighted the location of each lobe as, when they wear the hats, they can see and point to each lobe’s location in the skull.
