Brain Games
Just recently, the 5th grade started a study on the
brain. Each class made up a game. The group had
to make up a game that would help you learn about the brain,
or at least have something to do with the brain. My group's
game was called "Sense it!" Did you know that
the left side of your brain controls the right side and
that the right side of your brain controls the left side.
There was a long line on the first day we played our brain
games.
I
think
people
only
came to our game for the candy! It was so crowded that
everybody abandoned there game and played ours.

Bishop Museum
On December 7, the 5th grade class went
to the Bishop Museum.We went there to see the brain exhibit.
It was new and looked insanely cool. In the first picture,
I'm playing a game. I had to press a button each time the
brain lit up. I think it was a reflex test. The second
picture is a real brain. The brain didn't look real because
it looked like plastic.It also looked gooey. I don't think
anyone thought of it as a real brain too. They had animal brains
there too, they looked strangely small. If you break your
spinal cord, you will be paralyzed because nothing can travel
up your brain. |

Brain Demo
The first picture is a picture of me and some
of my classmates touching a REAL brain. It had a very...bad
smell because of the preservative. We had
to wear gloves because the preservative would irritate our
skin.
Some of
us ( including me) went to the bathroom to wash our hands
after we touched the brain. The second picture is a
brain cut up into pieces. I was looking at the pieces
with disgust... I couldn't stand the smell. Your spinal cord
is just like a bridge up to your brain. Nerves travel up
and down on it.

How To
One day in class, we were learning about rites
of passages. Every person in my class had to choose a topic
that was on the list. If someone chose that topic, you weren't
allowed to right about it. My topic was Privacy.
We had to wright down what we could do to earn that privilege.
Later on, we're going to make a book out of the papers.
