How can I help my brain learn more??

Fun Facts about the Brain for Kids

*  The neurons in your brain make enough electricity to generate a low-watt light bulb.

*  Your neurons are joined by tiny pathways or roads.  When you do something a lot - like ride your bike - the pathways in your brain that send messages about bike riding are strengthened.  This is sort of like a walking path that you walk on every day.

*  If you don't do something very often, the pathways become weak.  Imagine an old pathway filled with grass and weeds.  Practice really does make perfects because if strengthens neural pathways.  If you're not good at maths, start practicing.  Chances are, you'll get better.  Do your homework every day!

*  Your brain sends more messages everyday than all the phones in the world.  Now that's a lot of texting!!

*  Messages can fly from the nerves in your body to your brain at more than 241 km per hour. Whew!!

*  Exercising can make you smarter.  When you exercise, blood flow to the brain is increased.  Your brain also releases hormones that can help you learn.  So, get moving to get smarter.
