Brain Lab for Kids

Brain Lab for Kids offers 52 family-friendly activities, experiments, and models to help us understand how the brain accomplishes all that it does. All that we see, hear, feel, and do is made possible by the soft, whitish-pink substance inside our heads called the brain. Yet we take for granted many of the amazing things our brain does for us. This book's simple projects and activities are designed to demonstrate the brain's major functions — and a few of its quirks!

Each lab in the book is divided into several sections. After the title of each lab, the approximate time it will take to do the experiment is listed. The "Methods" section provides a step-by-step guide of the procedures and materials needed to complete the lab. The science behind an experiment is explained in the “What’s Going On” section. “Brain Facts” contains interesting, fun, and surprising bits of trivia related to each lab. Finally, “Thinking Deeper” has suggestions that you can use to take each 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.
