As part of their 'Responding to the World' unit in Science, our Year 9 students recently took part in a sheep's brain dissection to deepen their understanding of the nervous system. After learning about neurons, brain hemispheres, and the different lobes of the brain, this hands-on activity allowed students to see these structures up close.

During the dissection, students carefully identified and labelled various parts of the brain, including the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem. They also worked to distinguish between white and grey matter, bringing classroom theory to life. The level of care, curiosity, and enthusiasm displayed by the students was outstanding, and they should be commended for their respectful and thoughtful approach to this unique learning experience.
