The Unit 1&2 psychology students completed a brain dissection on Tuesday this week. Amanda Rusiniak did a wonderful job leading the dissection as the current leader of the science department. They have just started their introduction into the human brain. No, we did not use actual human brains - sheep brains were much more ethical and accessible... The students enjoyed this session, some maybe a little bit too much...others were happy to sit out and take some private study time of the brain model. This was the first time Newcomb Secondary College students have completed a brain dissection in psychology in a very long time, if not ever before. The students are looking forward to continuing their study of the brain in Area of Study 2: How are mental processes and behaviour influenced by the brain?
