Difficulty vs. Complexity
Example of difficulty would be for the students to name all of the landforms.
Example of complexity would be having the students compare two landforms and tell me how they are similar and different

Sense and Meaning
Sense:Brain Pop - Landforms
Meaning:Real World Connections
Create Models
Memory
Volcanoes and the chunking method.
Landforms > volcanoes> eruption
Emotion The students emotion of excitement
will help the students remember› Volcano eruption› Landforms (Trip)
These are both positive emotions that will stimulate the frontal lobes (Sousa, 2011)
Motivation
The students will have a problem that they need to convince someone to go to a landform in the US.
Problem-based learning boosts motivation. (Sousa, 2011).
They will be creating a volcano rather then just listening to how a volcano erupts.
They will be working on the computer and technology is a motivator.
Brainy BitsCerebral Lobes
› Frontal Lobes: Figuring out how to convince for the Landform Trip
› Temporal Lobes: Communicating with peers, recognizing the landforms
› Occipital Lobes: Videos to process
› Parietal Lobes: Spatial recognition for the model volcano.
