Highways in the Brain: A Discovery Days in Health Sciences Workshop

Thu, 15 Nov 2018 00:00:00 -0700

Overview

Interactive workshop delivered through Discovery Days in Health Sciences (Canadian Medical Hall of Fame), designed to help high school students understand how information travels in the nervous system using accessible analogies and hands-on activities. The students had an opportunity to model the nervous system in a computer lab. The feedback from the sessions were overwhelmingly positive.

Audience

High school students (Discovery Days in Health Sciences participants)

Key takeaways

The nervous system can be understood as organized pathways that support different functions (movement, sensation, coordination)
Structure supports function: where pathways go helps explain what happens when they’re disrupted
Scientific thinking: ask a question, test a prediction, and refine a mental model based on evidence

Notes

Delivered multiple times between 2016-2018

Speech and the Brain: A Discovery Days in Health Sciences Workshop

Sat, 14 Nov 2015 00:00:00 -0700

Overview

Interactive workshop delivered through Discovery Days in Health Sciences (Canadian Medical Hall of Fame), introducing high school students to how the brain supports speech and communication (and how scientists study these processes) using hands-on activities and guided discussion.

Audience

High school students (Discovery Days in Health Sciences participants)

Key takeaways

Speech is supported by coordinated brain systems (planning, motor control, auditory feedback)
Communication science connects biology, behavior, and measurement (experiments and observation)
Scientific method skills apply to the brain: hypotheses, evidence, and limits of inference
