Objective: To create a mobile, model, board game, poster, video,
etc. that illustrates brain parts and functions.
Requirements:
 You may work with a partner on this project or complete it
individually. If you choose to work with a partner, the project
must be done together. You will both receiving the same grade
and both are responsible for the information.
 Your project must contain an illustration of the brain with all
brain parts clearly visible and outlined. For this you will need
an interior and exterior illustration of the brain.
 If the name of the part doesn’t fit on your illustration, you can
use a number and then provide a key.
 Label the parts of the brain, provide a written description of the
function, and provide an illustration of the function. Visuals will
help you remember what each part does. For example, next to
the Occipital Lobe’s label and definition you might draw or cut
out a picture of an eyeball.
 The written description of the function should be brief. It is ok
to use the definitions from your textbook. Be short and sweet,
but correct.
 Neatness counts! Projects should be easy to read and colorful.
 The following parts should be clearly illustrated:
Frontal Lobe
Prefrontal Cortex
Hippocampus
Amygdala
Motor Cortex
Parietal Lobe
Somatosensory Cortex
Occipital Lobe
Visual Cortex
Temporal Lobe
Auditory Cortex
Broca’s Area
Hypothalamus
Thalamus
Cerebellum
Reticular Formation
Medulla
Pons
Pituitary Gland
Wernicke’s Area
Grading:
20 points- each brain part labeled correctly and in correct location
on illustration
20 points- correct written function of each brain part
10 points- picture illustrating function of each part
10 points- visual appeal
