(9/16) Third and fourth grade gifted students have been learning about the anatomy of the human brain. Students took hands-on learning to a new level by dissecting a real sheep brain. They were able to locate the parts of the brain, discuss the lobes and functions, and explore other regions of the brain. Students were excited to see, in real life, the things they had been studying in class. There were many feelings throughout the day, but this was definitely an experience these third and fourth grade students will not forget.
