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.
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 other was to get three blocks to the other side in as few moves as possible. The cork test one person did alone, the other we did in a group. 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!

I liked learning about the brain from Alon’s mom. There was a test that I got to do that was really fun!
