5E Inquiry Based Lesson Plan - NEUROSCIENCE ​DAY 1  

 

Engage 
Watch this ​video​ and make a copy of and complete the
  accompanying ​viewing guide​.

Post your response to the first and third questions to

this ​Jamboard​.

Explore 
Driving question: How can understanding the brain help us
  better ourselves and our community?

Individually, make a copy of this ​graphic organizer​. Watch the

video, read the texts, and examine the infographic and answer
the corresponding questions.

Once you are finished upload the document to the class Google
Drive. Make sure you put your organizer into your specific

Explain  
Share your thoughts and answers from the graphic organizers
with the rest of your group members via Google Drive.
  You will access your group members’ organizers and give
feedback. Leave one comment/reaction/question in each of the 5
sections.  
 

Apply/Elaborate 
With your group, go to this ​MindMup​ and choose one of the
  following areas: social, developmental, neurological disorders &
diseases, mental health, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral.
Once you have chosen your particular area, map the information
you learned from the previous activities and the questions you
have about that branch of neuroscience. Craft a compelling
question for that particular research area.

Once your group has finished mapping out your

specific research area, investigate and add to
the other areas.

The compelling questions that you and your

peers come up with will drive your research and
investigation throughout the course of the unit.
 
 

Reflect/Evaluate 
Review your answers from the TedTalk viewing guide and
  reflect on the feedback your peers gave you on the graphic
organizer. Have your thoughts or opinions changed? What did
you learn about neuroscience? What
previous misconceptions did you have
about the brain? What are you most
excited to learn about in the next 9
days?

Using Screencastify, create a 5 minute video summarizing your

groups contribution to the MindMup, sharing your compelling
question, and reflecting on today’s lesson.
