The effects of a go, go, go lifestyle on your brain

I find myself overloaded with information on a daily basis since like most people with young children, I’m up and going from 6 A.M. until they’re in bed just after 8.  I find taking a small break can be just what I need to keep from losing focus and becoming unproductive.  That’s not to say […]

Colour Blind Test

Please pay attention as there will be a test when you are done. The tricky thing about colour blindness is that many people don’t know they are colour blind until they get tested (40% of colour blind pupils currently leaving secondary school are unaware that they are colour blind – http://www.colour-blindness.com/general/prevalence/).  Why would they?  They naturally […]

Science In The News

I really like to get my students connecting what we are learning in class with the real world.  This creates engagement and further answers the question I addressed prior of “Why are we learning this?  We will never use it in real life”.  One way that I do this is by getting them to review different […]
