Why is this so valuable in your classroom?
The aim of these lessons extends beyond biology alone. They are also about developing self-awareness and empathy:
- Every brain is different:
Through voting rounds using green and red cards, pupils discover that sensory input one person finds pleasant may feel unbearable to someone else. - Understanding instead of judgment:
When pupils learn that everyone processes sensory input differently, they become more able to respect one another’s reactions rather than judge them. - Self-regulation:
When a pupil understands that they are easily overwhelmed by sound, or that they need movement in order to focus, they can respond to those needs more effectively.
What’s in it for the teacher?
You do not need to reinvent the wheel. This online series provides a complete package:
- Ready-made PowerPoint presentations with clear illustrations.
- Detailed teacher notes so you know exactly what to say alongside each slide.
- Worksheets and cut-out sheets ready for immediate use in the classroom.
- Differentiation tips for both extension activities, such as synaesthesia, and simpler adaptations where needed.
