Brain discovery with Mr. Blamey

Unbelievable fun and discovery was had today with Mr Blamey. We compared the weight of the brain of a human and animals like a rat and an elephant. We were able to feel the weight of the of the brains with the use of weights. 
We were able to get a better understanding of the human brain by looking at how it's appearance is like a walnut- two hemispheres and veins on the outside, how it feels like the squishiness of jelly between our fingers and how a cantelope represents the size and similar weight of the brain.

It was a fantastic session and we are very lucky to have another session to come in the coming weeks.
