LT #1.1
Level 1: I can identify and/or explain the structural components of the cerebrum.
Given a diagram I can label the four lobes of the cerebrum.
Given a diagram I can label the gray and white matter in the cerebrum.
Given a diagram I can label a myelinated and unmyelinated neuron.
(Label: Dendrite, axon, myelin sheath, cell body)
Given a diagram I can label two neurons and their synaptic interface.
Show the flow of signal (using arrows), label dendrites, axons, cell body and synapse.
Level 3
I can explain the relative position of the four lobes of the cerebrum and the position of white and gray matter.
Imagine that you are describing the position of the four lobes of the cerebrum using anatomical directional terms: Superior, Inferior, Anterior, Posterior, Medial, and Lateral
Gray Matter:
White Matter:
Frontal Lobe:
Parietal Lobe:
Temporal Lobe
Occipital Lobe:
I can explain how a neuron conducts and passes an electrochemical signal to another neuron.
In paragraph form—explain how a neuron picks up sensory information from touching something hot and how it relays that information to the brain and how the brain relays an action to remove the hand.
Level 4
I can draw the cerebrum for either the right or left brain, and label all parts.
Draw and label the right hemisphere cerebrum for the four lobes of the brain:
Draw and label the left hemisphere cerebrum for the four lobes of the brain:
I can explain how both gray and white matter neurons work in the cerebrum.
Explain the function/purpose of gray matter:
Explain the function/purpose of white matter:
How does gray and white matter work together to process and relay information?
