Can I teach others about how the brain figures out hard and simple tasks?

Picture of my blog. http://www.weebly.com/weebly/main.php And here is the URL to my blog.

Blue: Brain stem Red: Temporal lobe Yellow: Occipital Lobe White: Cerebellum Green: Frontal Lobe Orange: Parietal Lobe

Reflection: I had fun doing this project because I could learn about the ways that the brain can get the information that it needed. I also learned that if the brain took eh wrong path of something like it didn't remember a guys name that would mean that your brain did not have enough to put together what the friends name was. So overall this was a great project to learn about and I think that I have educated enough people that they should know how fun it would be to do the same project as me.

K
I know that the brain controls all of your body, and that the memory has to take a certain path to remember the memory.

W

I want to know what the pert of the brains do and how they do.

H

I will find this out by searching it and making my own inferences.

L

I have learned that the brain need to have the nerves travel in a certain way so that the human brain can know the memory that you need.

A
I am going to make video's so that I can educate people and tell people what I have learned.

Q

I want to know what chemicals are in the brain, what those chemicals do and how they do it.

I thought that the brain you created was really cool because it was really detailed and I could tell that it was a brain. Next time in your video you should make it a little bit more clear about what your project was about. But otherwise it was a good project!

I really like your first video it gave a lot of information and it had good facts on the brain and nerves. The only thing that I think you could have made your first video a little less confusing.

I love your project idea! I loved the cotton ball model that you made. It looked super real. Quality Booster: The only things I think you should work on are not looking at the computer as much for information. I did that too! The other thing is that you didn't look very prepared doing the video. But, the information helped a lot, and I over all thought it was awesome!

Hi Ethan,

I'm Jarrod, a grade 9 student in Ms. Lees Project Design & Development class in British Columbia, Canada. I really like your project. I think it is a very mature topic, and I myself would have never thought about learning about something like this. I would be really interested in hearing your thought process of choosing this topic for your project. I liked how you explained how the brain recovers memories, as well as what happens when you forget something. I also really liked how you made your own model of the sections of the brain and you kept it simple so it was easy to see the approximate size of each section. I would be really interested in seeing your blog, but it wasn't working for me. It would be great if you are able to look into that issue. One thing I noticed is in your first video I noticed you were fidgeting a lot, and that can get distracting, but in your second video I didn't notice that. I also liked how you referenced an experience you had in kindergarten, it is a great skill to have if you are able to make connections to your life. Referring to the memory sequence as a combination lock was a great example because most people will be able to picture that and how that works. Great job! I definitely learned something new.

I would love to see your thoughts on my project if you get the chance. Just go to:

Hi there! I'm Marilyn and I'm from Ms.Lee's Project Design and Development class in Surrey, BC. Your project idea caught my attention at first glance. How our brains function and determine higher order thinking and lower order thinking is a fascinating topic to choose. One thing you may consider to improve upon for your next project is being aware of your presentation environment. Your video was informative, but in one of the videos your head was positioned very low. Though this is a minor issue, it sometimes distracts the audience and makes it look less professional. However, I love the pictures and diagrams you posted to assist the audience with understanding your project. Keep up the good work!
