Make a Brain

Task 

‡  to create a three dimensional model that demonstrates the structures of the brain

‡    this may be a hanging model

Requirements

‡  You must either number the parts of your model and make a key or label them directly on the model.

‡  Your model should be approximately life-sized and split in half so that we can see the inner sides of both hemispheres.

‡  Each of the following structures must be modeled:

cerebral cortex         frontal lobe                occipital lobe              temporal lobe

parietal lobe              cerebellum                 thalamus                    hypothalamus

medulla                      pons                            hippocampus             amygdala

midbrain                   

Extras

Broca                          Wernicke                   pituitary gland
