Once again, I am fulfilling my duty of keeping you informed of all the important holidays and events of which you might otherwise be unaware. Today, I introduce to you Brain Awareness Week (BAW)! While some things only need a day of appreciation (like Christopher Columbus), apparently it will take a whole week for us to unite "families, schools, and communities in a worldwide celebration of the brain." Yay Brain!!
If you are really ambitious and excited about BAW, you can make an educational video about the brain and enter a video contest in attempt to win cash, prizes and a trip to San Diego for Neuroscience 2013. Science AND California - hard to go wrong there!
Okay, if you go out to the Society for Neuroscience website there is a plethora of fun things out there! Ever heard of a Brain Bee? Me neither! But apparently it's sort of like a spelling bee....only different! Oh! And let's not forget the National Science Olympiad! Oh my!
If you haven't already guessed, our topic for co-op science this week will be......the brain! This is going to be FUN!

Don't Forget!
I thought I better give you a heads up that Brain Awareness Week (BAW) is just around the corner! I informed you of this important holiday many months ago, but I know many of you didn't put it on your calendars.
BAW runs from March 11-17. If you can't think of some fun and amazing way to celebrate BAW, at least spend a minute or two being thankful for your amazing brain.

Thursday Thrills
Thursdays mean teaching co-op science. Teaching co-op science means spending the day getting people excited about science...which subsequently spills over into home-life.
This results in.....Fun With Tuning Forks!
Evan & Erin experimenting with hearing sound through your skull
And hearing sounds through your mouth
And seeing how many places you can stick a tuning fork and still hear the note. Just look at how much fun they're having!
But that's not all...oh no! As you are aware, it's Brain Awareness Week! In honor of this momentous week, I made brain cupcakes for the co-op kids! Mmm, mmm, mmmmmm! You wish I was YOUR science teacher, don't you?!
