The Human Brain

Your Brain is very important!

​It is in charge of your whole body.

The 5 Senses

We have 5 Senses
Picture
​​The 5 senses can work together!
For example: Smell and Taste. They work together to bring out the flavour of our favourite foods!

Smell

The sense of smell allows us to detect scents and odour in the air. 

Smell is important for many reasons!
Picture
The brain links smell to memory!
Picture
Some people in the world have no sense of smell.
What would you miss smelling if you could not smell?

Taste

There are Four types of Taste!
Picture

​What are some of your favourite things to taste?
Picture

Sight

Sight is very important!
​You use it for:
Picture
Your eyes send messages to your brain about what you see!
Do you see a bunny or duck in the image below? Maybe you can see both!
Picture

HINT:

The duck is facing the left, and the bunny is facing the right

Sound​

Hearing is important for 5 reasons: 
Picture
Close your eyes and listen to the world around you. What do you hear?
Why else might you need your hearing? 

Touch

There are different types of touch:
Picture

​Can you think of something cold to touch? What about hot?
Picture

Images created on Piktochart
How do you protect your taste, vision, hearing, smell, and touch?
​
WEAR A HELMET!

Brain Protection

Why protect your brain?
 
Your brain is very fragile and delicate, and so it needs lots of protection.
Picture
One of the best ways for you to protect your brain and prevent brain injury is by wearing a helmet!

​How can we protect our brain and keep it healthy?
Here are some examples!

Concussion Safety

Your skull is home to your brain.

​A concussion is a type of brain injury caused by a hit to the head, face, neck, or body that causes the brain to move quickly in your skull.
 
You can’t see right away that a concussion has happened, but there can be signs and symptoms afterwards.
Picture
Here's a short Video on Concussions!

Can you think of some ways you could cause your brain to move around your skull fast and get a concussion?

Symptoms of a Concussion

Concussion Management

If you think you or a friend might have a concussion, follow the STAR rule!
Picture
Picture
How can we help ourselves and others to avoid a concussion?

  • Follow the rules of the sport or activity you are playing. Listen to your teacher or coach when they give you instructions
  • Help prevent falls- pick up your toys, games, and books so people don’t trip on them
  • Respect others and never hit someone on the head

Helmet Safety

How do we protect our brains? Wear a helmet!

Wearing a helmet is needed to protect your head. It provides a cushion for your head and brain in case you fall.
 
Ask an adult for help when putting on your helmet to make sure you are wearing it right!
