Lesson Plan
Perception Power-Up Lesson Plan
Student will learn how perception shapes interpretation of sensory information. By sorting stimuli by senses and exploring optical illusions, the student will demonstrate understanding of how the brain interprets input and reflect on perception’s role in everyday experiences.
Understanding perception builds self-awareness and critical thinking, helping students recognize that different perspectives shape reality. This awareness enhances communication, decision-making, and resilience by making students mindful of how their brain processes sensory information.
