WHEN YOU LEARN YOU LITERALLY BUILD UP YOUR BRAIN

MAKING IT SMARTER AND STRONGER

Hi Guys!

Here’s a short summary of our last Brainology® class.

First of all, some of our classmates have shared* with us the values that are most important to them.

It was really great to know about what we believe in* and what really matters* in our lives.

I think we are really lucky to have people with these values in our classroom.

I’m sure these values will really help our learning.

I really hope that we’ll be able to bring* these values to our work this year.

Then we moved to another activity: “Information Search”.

In this activity we made some hypotheses about our brain, and tried to answer the following questions:

  1. How much energy does your brain use?
  2. Would your brain feel pain if you could pinch it?
  3. What foods keep our brain healthy*?
  4. What is the difference between “Voluntary” and “Involuntary”?
  5. How can you help yourself pay attention?
  6. How does your brain receive information?
  7. How much does your brain weigh*?
  8. How many hours of sleep do teenagers need* each night?

Finally we’ve read through our homework assignment: How is my brain performing* today?

Thanks to this homework you are going to:

  1. rate* your food and sleep habits*
  2. make hypotheses* about how food and sleep can affect* your brain performance*

During our next Brainobogy® class, we're going to verify all of our hypotheses with the help of Doctor Cerebrus and his Lab!
