Parts of the Brain
Which part of the brain helps you see?
Occipital lobe
Which brain part are you using when you listen to music?
Temporal lobe
What is the body's control center?
The brain
True or False: Your brain can change and grow as you learn.
True
Name ONE thing your brain helps you do.
think, move, see, hear, remember, etc.
Which part helps with balance and coordination?
Cerebellum
Which brain part helps when you solve a math problem?
Frontal lobe
What does neuroanatomy mean?
The study of the parts and structure of the brain.
What happens to your brain when you practice something new?
Your brain changes and gets stronger/better at the skill.
Which brain part would you use to process the words you hear your teacher say?
Temporal lobe
Which part helps with hearing, language, and memory?
You touch an ice cube and notice it is cold. Which brain part helps process that feeling?
Parietal lobe
What does elastic mean when we describe the brain?
The brain can change and adapt as we learn.
Why are mistakes helpful when we're learning something new?
Mistakes help our brain learn, adjust, and improve.
You're riding a bike. Which brain part is especially important for your balance and coordination?
Cerebellum
Which part helps process touch and body awareness?
Pariental lobe
You're reading a book. Which brain part helps process what your eyes see?
What does neuroplasticity mean?
The brain's ability to change and adapt through learning and experience.
True or False: If you're not good at something the first time, your brain can never get better at it. Explain.
False — your brain can change and improve through learning and practice.
You're watching a movie. Name TWO brain parts you might be using and explain why.
Occipital lobe for seeing + temporal lobe for hearing/understanding language.
Name all five brain parts we learned.
frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, and cerebellum.
You're playing soccer. Name TWO brain parts you are using and explain what each is doing.
Cerebellum — balance/coordination; occipital lobe — processing what you see.
What is the difference between the brain and a lobe?
The brain is the whole organ; a lobe is one section/part of the brain.
Give an example of something you learned through practice and explain how your brain changed or improved.
“I practiced riding a bike, and my brain got better at controlling and coordinating the skill.”
Why do you think different parts of the brain need to work together? Give an example.
Different parts have different jobs, so they work together to complete activities. Example: When reading, the occipital lobe helps process what you see while other brain areas help with language, attention, and understanding.
