Brain Lab for Kids offers 52 family-friendly activities, science
experiments, and models to help you understand how the brain
accomplishes all that it does. Riding a bicycle, learning a new
language, catching a ball, reading a book: these activities and
everything else we see, hear, feel, and do are made possible by the
soft, whitish-pink substance inside our heads called the brain.
These hands-on projects will give you a new appreciation for your
brain and the many amazing things it does for you. Have fun
learning: how cerebrospinal fluid works by dropping eggs held in
containers, with and without water. about touch receptors by making
a touch maze with glue and cardboard. how people filter out
unneeded sound by conducting a listening experiment. how vision
interacts with taste and smell by tasting colored drinks. The labs
are organized by unit themes: The Neuron, The Brain, Reflexes,
Taste, Smell, Vision, Touch, Hearing, Sleep and Body Rhythms, and
Memory. The "What's Going On" section for each lab explains the
science behind the fun. "Brain Facts" are interesting, and perhaps
surprising, bits of trivia related to each lab. Finally, "Thinking
Deeper" has suggestions for taking the lab further. The expanding
field of brain science, also called neuroscience, offers the
opportunity for all of us to learn about ourselves and others, and
how we can better communicate, motivate, inspire, and just plain
collaborate together. The popular Lab for Kids series features a
growing list of books that share hands-on activities and projects
on a wide host of topics, including art, astronomy, clay, geology,
math, and even how to create your own circus-all authored by
established experts in their fields. Each lab contains a complete
materials list, clear step-by-step photographs of the process, as
well as finished samples. The labs can be used as singular projects
or as part of a yearlong curriculum of experiential learning. The
activities are open-ended, designed to be explored over and over,
often with different results. Geared toward being taught or guided
by adults, they are enriching for a range of ages and skill levels.
