Mrs. Hutchinson’s 7th grade science class had the unique opportunity to unravel the mysteries of the brain. They were able to identify key structures to understand their functions, discover differences between white and gray matter, and label the 6 lobes of the brain. They prepped with gathering their PPE and tools needed, prior to the 2 day labs. Attached are snapshots of our budding neuroscientists as they meticulously dissected brains. You can see their dedication, curiosity and teamwork in action!
