About this resource
What's inside this resource
Our high school students have the capability to enjoy and really understand topics like psychology because it provides them with real-life connections and real-world concepts. The relatability that the study of psychology has to offer can be great for our students. Being able to provide them with meaningful resources is the best way to keep them engaged and keep growing this interest. Within my store, you will find a plethora of psychology resources to utilize with your students.
What You Get:
This is the Introduction to Psychology Worksheet for the Crash Course Psychology Episodes.
This is a 2-page worksheet that has 15 questions for students to answer. The link to the Crash Course video can be found at the top of the worksheet. If students are completing this worksheet digitally, they will be able to quickly click on the link for themselves and be redirected to YouTube.
An answer key is included in a separate Word document. If you print off the answer key, students can check their answers by themselves.
The Introduction to Psychology Video is 10 minutes long.
How To Implement This Resource:
You should print off enough copies of the worksheet for each student to have, so they can answer some of the questions as they listen to the video. You can listen to this video as a whole group and then allow students to listen to it again by themselves or in small groups, if your classroom has enough devices to do so.
Being able to watch these engaging Crash Course videos more than once will help students make connections and close gaps for their understanding of psychology and how it works.
I hope you enjoy!

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students define psychology and trace its historical origins from ancient practices through early psychological science.
Students explain the founding of the first psychology laboratory and the structuralist school of thought, including why it was eventually abandoned.
Students describe Sigmund Freud's influence on psychology and the controversy surrounding his work.
Students explain why a patient's inner thoughts and feelings cannot be directly observed by a psychologist.
Teaching tips
Play the linked Crash Course episode once through, then have students complete the worksheet during a second viewing, since several questions (such as the Rhazes and structuralism items) require specific historical details.
Use the full-sentence answer key as a model for the depth of response expected, since it writes out complete explanations rather than short phrases.
Assign this as independent work while watching the video at home or in a media center, since the questions follow the episode in the same order it plays.
Skills covered
Video-based note-taking — students extract specific facts and explanations from a psychology video in the order they are presented.
Historical sequencing — students trace psychology's development from ancient exams through Wundt, structuralism, James and Freud.
Conceptual explanation — students explain why structuralism failed and why inner thoughts cannot be directly observed, not just recall a name or date.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How closely does the worksheet follow the video's order?
Exactly in sequence: the questions move through the episode from the definition of psychology and its Greek word origin, through early exams, Wundt's lab, structuralism, William James, and Freud, to the closing point about why inner thoughts can't be observed.
