The Brain


The brains is often described as the most complex thing in the universe. And we still have a lot to learn about it. This article is about the way we may learn to process certain types of information.

For this project you should start by reading this article that discusses how brains develop different abilities as they mature. Then write a paragraph that summarized the article. Paragraphs should be at least three well constructed sentences.

Then you should find and link to an article about the brain. This could be any information about the brain or any system of control in an organism. In talking about the brain it can be from its anatomy to the way it works to the changes in development of a single individual or how it has changed in hominids over millions of years.

Finally write a paragraph summarizing the material in that article. Again, paragraphs should be at least three well constructed sentences.

Make sure you put your ID and class section on your work. This project is due by midnight Sunday, 12/27. Remember that you need to do either this or the previous project. If you do both projects one will count for extra credit. If you did not do the previous article you must do this one.
