Synopsis: This curriculum unit (CU) will focus on the essential question: How are memories made? Throughout the course of this seven-lesson unit, third-grade scientists will expand upon their knowledge of the Human Body and the Central Nervous System. Scientists will focus on the brain and the three different types of memory: Sensory Memory, Short-term Memory, and Long-Term Memory. Students will gain insight into the world of dance by learning some foundational skills regarding dance composition and tools used to communicate within the dance community. For the culminating project, students will integrate their knowledge of the brain and memory with their knowledge of dance to create a dance composition to demonstrate how memory is made.
