My Amazing Brain Workshop & Yoga guest speaker

The date was the 10th of May. During period one and two, forms A,B,C & D went to the hall to do a brain workshop. I thought it was going to be okay. We went in and got an explanation about the brain parts followed by a video clip about what happened to people that had frontal lobe injuries. We then had a person tell us about the brain. We watched another video clip straight after that. It was 'Pinky & the Brain'. I found it very funny though I could only remember cerebellum left, cerebellum right, frontal lobe, cord spinal and skull.

We went through a memory exercise. Our group memorised 30 out of 32. A very good result. We then dissected a lamb's brain. Mine had the cerebrum detached from the cerebellum. It was still fun.

After lunch we had a guest speaker about yoga and how it helps the brain. We went through a exercise where I almost fell asleep. The guest speaker also got volunteers to do yoga. It was quite funny watching them do the exercise. After that we continued our work.
