Building a Brain! (3D model or 2D game)
Your job is to build a brain. Your product will be something that represents each piece of
brain anatomy and explains each function. You have 2 choices:
1. You can make a traditional model of a brain (play-doh or clay etc…) and
list the functions…
a. 80 points for the labeled model, with a list of functions.
b. 20 points for accuracy, attractiveness, neatness
2. You can make a ‘brain game’.
a. 80 points for names and functions somewhere in the game
b. 20 points for creativity and attractiveness
