VAST Science Units
Human Brain & Senses


In this course students will have the opportunity to think about the fact that they have a brain, and to engage in activities that explore some of their routine, but outlandishly complex, brain activities—seeing, feeling, hearing, smelling, tasting, remembering. A deep current running through the curriculum is the message that proper brain function requires a supportive environment. The old adage, you are what you eat, takes on new meaning. Restated it might be, you are what you bathe your brain in. Students who take this message to heart will hopefully take conscious action to ensure a happy, healthy, productive brain.
