Teach a Child

Instructions Select one brain structure from the list below to focus on in your teaching aid: Brocas area. Wernickes area. Thalamus. Hypothalamus. Pons. Reticular formation. Cerebellum. Develop a teaching aid to explain to a 10-year-old child the way the brain communicates. Be sure to cite your sources. The final product should answer the following questions: Explain how neurons communicate. How do neurons work? How do they talk to each other? What happens to leftover transmitters? Consider including the following: Resting potential, graded potential, action potential. Neurotransmission release. Excitatory postsynaptic potential or inhibitory neuron potential. Explain the functions of the area of the brain you chose from the list above. Helpful tip: Start by reviewing the readings and creating bullet points for each step. Then reword your bullet points in different ways until you find one that is clear, simple, and easy to understand. You might consider using metaphors if it helps.
