Brain Games
In class, my classmates and I made up games that
mixed learning about the brain with fun and competition.
This photo shows me playing "BRAINOPOLY", a game
inspired by the famous
"MONOPOLY", but with a twist. On all the spaces
without properties, you had to answer a difficult question
relating to the human
brain. For example, I learned that Richard Carton discovered
brainwaves. |
Brain Demonstration
One of my classmates mother is a pathologist, which means
she studies brains. We were lucky enough to be able to study
a real human brain. It stunk! We learned some new parts with
long names. I learned that the pituitary gland secretes hormones. |

Brain Trip
In December we went on a field trip to the Bishop
Museum. It was an exhibit called "THE BRAIN".This
was my favorite picture.It was a real human brain! I learned
that optical illusions are your brain doing its best with the
information it has, but it mixes it up.

New School
In class, each person made a How-To page for
a rite of passage that we might experience. The page told us
how to handle it. Mine is on New
School, and it gives solutions to problems
you could face if you are ever a "New Kid".
