Lesson Plan

Name Description
Why Does the Dog Drool? Classical Conditioning!:

This lesson focuses on the principles of classical conditioning. Students will learn about two key experiments on classical conditioning: Ivan Pavlov's dogs and John Watson's "Little Albert." Students will analyze how classical conditioning is used in each of these experiments and create a digital presentation to compare Pavlov and Watson’s experiments, as well as apply the principles of classical conditioning to their own example.
