  4. Create a PowerPoint presentation demonstrating what you know about the brain. It should have a minimum of 7 slides. Each slide should have at least 4 facts on the topic. Use appropriate fonts, colours and templates for your powerpoint. Lastly, you have to present your project to the class. You will use your powerpoint to present your report to the class. It should explain everything that you learned. Process

  5. .The following articles and resources that I have looked up can be helpful in your reasearch and learning. These links all open in a new window. "The Brain Is the Boss" - When you finish the article, scroll down to the bottom where you see the yellow box with links inside it. The links are the other sections of the article, make sure to browse through those too!"Glossary of Neuroscience Words" - Find simple definitions for words on neuroscience "BrainSurf Neuroscience" - Learn about neuroscience and neuroscientists "Neuroscience for Kids" - A good site with a lot of information about the brain. It is quite messy though Resources

  6. Hopefully, this webquest has enhanced your knowledge a bit about the brain. The brain is a very complicated topic. People still don't know much about it, though scientists are always discovering new things. Our project is an introduction to the interesting subject of the human brain. Thank you for visiting!
