Sheep Brain Lab

Students have been studying the nervous system in science class. After learning about the three main areas of the human brain, students examined a sheep brain to reinforce their new knowledge. When asked why a sheep brain would be of educational value, the students responded in thoughtful ways:

"To have a visual of an actual brain"

"So that if you thought the brain was hard as bone, you could feel it and not have a misconception" 

"So you can see exactly what a cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem look like"
