The human visual system has evolved over many tens of millions of years to operate in a world that is mostly lit by white light. Systems in the brain, working entirely unconsciously, compensate for changes in illumination. This resource is for teachers, parents and carers to use in Sciences (SCN 1-12b / SCN 2-11b / SCN 2-12b / SCN 3-12a) for First / Second / Third (P2 – S3).
This resource contains a workshop with activities about the structure and functions of the brain and what happens when it goes wrong. It also contains short biographies of the two co-authors and details of their academic involvement in psychology. It is intended for learners studying the Scottish National 5 Psychology curriculum. This resource is for teachers to use in Sciences, psychology for Third/Fourth/Senior.
Your eyes normally see roughly the same image, with only a small difference between each eye. Even these differences are used by your brain to work out distances to objects. Your brain has evolved to quickly combine these two similar images, to form a 3D scene. This resource is for teachers, parents and carers to use in Sciences (SCN 2-12b / SCN 3-12a) for Second / Third (P5 – S3).
An eight-part project about sea level change since the ice age. Covers glaciation, global warming and isostasy. Includes lesson plans, presentations, workbooks and a template for a timeline poster to illustrate the content of the eight sessions. This resource is for teachers to use in Geography/sciences IDL for Third/Fourth.
