Adolescent Brain Development

Brain Games

This is Cole, Emma, Alex, and me playing our brain game. I learned what the brain stem does. It sorts all of the messages that are sent to your brain. I also learned that the biggest part of your brain is also the part of your brain that does your thinking for you. Our game was a puzzle. You would get a question and if you got it right you would put a piece on the board.

 

Brain Study

This is a human brain in an air tight case at the Bishop Museum. When we were there I learned that a dolphin brain is bigger than a human brain. I also learned that our brains are eighty five percent water and that it is surrounded by water. Some of the things that are good for your brain are music, trying new things, drinking water, and laughing.

 

 

Brain Visual

This is Doctor Belnap showing us a brain that smells really bad because of the chemicals that they put them in. It was the brain of a seventy year old guy that died and she decided to show us his brain. I saw the memory place, the cerebrum, and much more. We got to touch the brain and it felt much firmer than it should because of the chemicals that it was in.

 

Getting Your Drivers License

In class we have been learning about rites of passage. I did getting your drivers license. The purpose of the project was to get us ready for nest year when we have more decisions and we have more homework. A rite of passage is a ceremony or a distinct change that happens throughouts your life.
