🧠🔬 Hands-On Learning in Medical Detectives!
Mrs. Bisignani's Medical Detectives students explored the anatomy of the brain by dissecting a sheep brain! 🐑 Students labeled key regions, learned about their functions, and examined the brain from different perspectives, including a cross-sectional view after cutting through the corpus callosum.
