Part of the “Become a Brain Pilot” SEL & Neuroscience Resource Pack.

Ready for take-off? This vibrant, ready-to-teach PowerPoint launches your students into the fascinating world of the brain—through the eyes of a pilot!

Designed specifically for primary school learners, this engaging resource uses a powerful airport analogy to demystify the brain’s key players in behaviour and self-regulation. With age-appropriate visuals and clear, student-friendly language, this presentation makes complex neuroscience not only accessible—but unforgettable.

What’s Inside:

This PowerPoint introduces students to a simple, age-appropriate analogy that identifies the following parts of the brain:

• Amygdala - The Radar
• Prefrontal Cortex - The Traffic Controller
• Hippocampus - The Traffic Controller’s Book
• Hypothalamus - The Fuel Tank
• Brain Stem - The Runway Crew

Then, students are introduced to a simple, empowering 4-step self-regulation strategy:

Pause → Breathe → Think → Act
