🧠 Part 1: Brain Structure Labelling

1. Label the major brain structures on the diagram below. Use these terms: cerebrum, hippocampus, amygdala, cerebellum, brainstem

2. Which brain structure is the largest part responsible for conscious thought and decision-making?

Hippocampus

Cerebrum

Amygdala

Cerebellum

3. The brain structure often called your brain's "filing cabinet" for memories is the:

Brainstem

Cerebellum

Hippocampus

Amygdala

🔗 Part 2: Matching Activity

4. Match each brain structure to its correct function by drawing lines between them:

Brain Structure

Cerebrum

Hippocampus

Amygdala

Cerebellum

Brainstem

Function

Controls basic life functions like breathing

Processes emotions and influences memory formation

Coordinates movement and procedural learning

Forms and stores new memories

Responsible for conscious thought and decision-making

✏️ Part 3: Short Answer Questions

5. Explain the role of the hippocampus in memory formation. Include why it's important for learning new information.

6. Describe how the amygdala influences memory. Why might emotional experiences be easier to remember?

7. Fill in the blanks using appropriate scientific vocabulary:

The _____________ is responsible for coordination and helps with _____________ learning, which involves learning skills through practice. The _____________ controls basic life functions, while the _____________ processes emotions that can strengthen memory formation.

8. Reflection Question: Which brain part do you think is most important for memory and why? Support your answer with evidence from what you've learned.
