1. The Human Brain By Cris

2. What I will explain • I will explain in this PowerPoint how the human brain works. • I have also made a spongy model of a human brain which took so long to make as well.

3. What it looks like • A brain is an oval shaped organ which sits neatly tucked away safely in your skull approximately 15cm long (half a 30cm ruler) • The brain is made out of thin gray tissue layers called cerebral cortex.

4. What is a brain? • The brain is made up of 4 lobes. • A cerebrum, otherwise known as the brain, is what is making you be able to read this right now. The brain has 4 different parts; they are the frontal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe and the parietal lobe. • I will explain these 4 different parts of the brain in the following slides.

5. Frontal lobe • The Frontal lobe organises your thoughts, decisions and plans.

6. Temporal lobe • The Temporal lobe tells you what your ears are listening to, and what your nose is smelling.

7. Occipital lobe • The Occipital lobe is where you get your vision from and it also allows you to see colour.

8. Parietal lobe • It tells your body what you feel with your fingertips and lets you know when you feel pain, or if something is too hot or too cold. • Your parietal lobe is also involved in the control of things like calculating, writing and drawing.
