Students can practice their knowledge of the brain by completing this crossword puzzle. The puzzle includes information about the lobes of the brain (frontal, occipital, parietal, and temporal) as well as specific structures within the brain and their function.

The terms are intended for students of anatomy and physiology, where they must explore details of the cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem, and the limbic system.

I usually give students this crossword with their sheep brain dissection activity so that students who are not as interested in the dissection can contribute to their group’s study.
