Brain Comparisons of Animals from the Five Vertebrate Classes
- Level: High School
- Topic: Reproduction & Cell Structure and Function
Description:
Students observe and record similarities and differences among brains of animals from different vertebrate classes. Students will gain an understanding of the basic five-part structure of the vertebrate brain by noting the modifications that take place in the basic brain structure as animals become more complex, as well as changes that reflect structural adaptation. Students will also learn to organize observational data into comprehensive summary charts.
