PBL Neuroscience Presentation

Students must research a specific question related to neuroscience. They must curate and share their sources with classmates. They must create a lesson that includes a handout which addresses the essential question. They must also select a media source that supplements this learning (video, slideshow, podcast, etc.). They will then guide a discussion and activity that promote deeper understanding of their topic. Students will then present to their class.
