Sheep Brain Dissection
PREPARATION
1. Compare the parts I have asked you to label from the "Sheep Brain - Marking Guide" handout to the colour guide that is provided in class (feel free to take a picture of it).
2. I highly recommend watching one or more of the videos below to prepare yourself for what a sheep brain will look like and how to identify the parts. I don't have the ability to show each and every student, each and every part of the brain during the class block.

VIDEO 1
Very basic and to the point.
There is an error when he refers to the pituitary gland as part of the hypothalamus.

VIDEO 2 & 3 (one video in two parts)
Great if you want more detail and explanation (be warned that it goes beyond the parts we need to know)

ASSESSMENT
1. You will have to label 10 parts of the sagittal section which I will mark prior to clean up.
2. Name 5 specific parts that I will have labelled A-E on a sample brain at the front of the class.
3. Complete the lab questions and hand in the sheet PRIOR to leaving the lab.
