Students will be able to gain an understanding of the 3-D nature of cells, tissues, organs, and bones by making models. Hands-on learning activates kids' brains, and model making can enable teachers to engage students in learning experiences that result in improved understanding of a topic. As students put projects together, create models, or use familiar materials in new ways, they're constructing meaning. "Kids learn through all their senses," says Ben Mardell, PhD, a researcher with Project Zero at Harvard University, "and they like to touch and manipulate things." When you combine activities that require movement, talking, and listening, it activates multiple areas of the brain. If a student is drawing and explaining to a peer, then they're making connections in the brain!
