The Brain at NYU

The trip to NYU was lots of fun. We learned all about the brain. The trip was 6 blocks to NYU. The address is 82 Washington Place New York New York. We went on 12/12/14. My favorite part was when we got the brains. We learned with my mom, Dr. Goverover. She made a slideshow that we watched and did stuff for the brain. Charlie NYU

The most interesting thing that I learned was the specific parts of the brain and what they do. I learned what to do to protect the brain. Headers are very important not to do because they give little shocks to the brain that hurt the brain.
We did some tests that people with brain injuries do. One was trying to get the cork out of the bottom of a glass.

The materials for the cork were: a jar of water with lid, a metal thing, and a bottle with a cork. The rule was, no picking up the jar and bottle. At the end we had chocolate balls and we played in the park. We played boys vs. girls. The boys won!
