Did you know that your brain controls every single thing you do??? Cool, right? Here are some facts about your brain that has just been discovered. Your brain weighs about 3 pounds and if you think you have a light head, it just means that you are not thinking hard enough! Your brain also holds 100 billion and I reapeat again 100 BILLION microscopic cells called neurons- so many it would take you over 3000 years to COUNT them all. Pretty big, don't you think? But here's another amazing fact: Your brain generates enough electricity to power a light bulb. They also say that exercising makes you smarter. So, whenever you are stuck on a homework problem, go outside and play a game of soccer and try the problem again. You just might be able to solve it!

  1. Very interesting indeed! It's amazing what a little break can do. For every 30 minutes of studying, you could take a 10 minute break. :) That's what my professors in college told me.

  2. COOL NIKI!!!! I Never knew that wow thats alot of cells i never knew that eaither. I will definetly try going outside and then coming back in and doing hw it could probobly help me alot because sometimes i have a problem concentrating or i get SUPER frustrated or i could just be so tired. Thats another question what do u do when you are tired and you still have homework to do? do you do the same thing run around outside? but that would make you soooooo sleepy even more than what you started with! WHAT could u do? mabye just excesice your brain with puzzles but that would get you frustrated and tired and cross. .........
