Creating the mind map

Dear parents, below you will find a summary of our last few weeks of exploration. We will be having 2 more sessions on the brain and then moving into cell, tissue, organs and internal systems. 😃

After learning about the skin for the last few weeks, we learnt about the nerves in the skin today. To tie into the previous sessions, about the brain and spinal cord, we used the information about the nerves and tied it into the bigger picture of the nervous system. our budding scientists learned the differences between the central and peripheral nervous system and had a better understanding on how all these components work together. They used a mind map to connect all this information together in their own style and understanding. The mind map worked as a literal imaging on how each Cogitanian connects all the information in their own unique ways. It reflected their understanding of the bigger picture.

warmly, Joanna
