Learning the science behind agrowth mindset is empowering. In this unit, students learn about our brain’s neuroplasticity. We will also explore the function of neurons, dendrites, synapses, the brain’s lobes, and the limbic system. Students will learn how struggling to learn something new is actually a good thing because it is helping build and strengthen new pathways in the brain. Who is this resource for?
