- 4. 1. You aredriving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus: a. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die b. An old friend who once saved your life c. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about Knowing that there can only be one passenger in your car, whom would you choose? LATERAL THINKING PUZZLES
- 5. Answer: The oldlady of course! After helping the old lady into the car, you can give your keys to your friend, and wait with your perfect partner for the bus.

- 9. Answer: The manis a dwarf. He can't reach the upper elevator buttons, but he can ask people to push them for him. He can also push them with his umbrella.

- 17. NEURONS The basic functionalunits of the nervous system, are three-part units and are key to brain function. They power the rapid-fire process that turns thought into movement. The thought moves as an electrical signal down the axons to the dendrite and then jumps to another nerve cell across a space with the help of some chemicals.

- 19. There is aconsensus among researchers that brain cells regenerate through out life. “The size of the brain doesn’t increase much after 3” It is during the first three years of life, the brain experiencesmost of its growth and develops most of its potential in learning. 1. The brain parts are adaptable. 2.Deprivation of intellectual stimulation

- 21. “The question scientistscan’t answer now is if the damage is permanent.” INHALANTS Such as glue, paint, gasoline and aerosols, destroys the outer lining of nerve cells and make them unable to communicate with each other.
- 22. Marijuana hinders memory,learning, judgment and reaction times. Ecstasy destroys neurons that makes serotonin - a chemical crucial in controlling sleep, violence, mood swings and sexual urges. Steroids cause aggressions and violent mood swings.
- 24. “There’s a lotwe won’t know until later. Classic example is cigarettes. We allowed people to smoke for 100 yrs before we knew about all the horrible things that nicotine will do”

- 27. T O SCORE Ifyou have more "A" responses than "B" responses, then you are left- brained dominate. This means you........ • are very rational • analyze people and situations • usually favor the subjects of math/science • are methodical • are a sequential thinker • use logical reasoning • like to work with things that can be seen or touched If you have more "B" responses than "A" responses, you are right-brain dominate. This means you....... • are very creative • are usually emotional • like to be different from others • handle situations easily • like to think abstractly • enjoy the arts(music,art,drama) • are a divergent thinker
- 28. THE LATERALIZATION OF THEBRAIN THE LEFT AND RIGHT B R AIN THEORY
- 29. The theory ofbrain lateralization was developed by Nobel-prize winners Robert Ornstein and Roger Sperry. It states that each side of the brain has different specific functions. While humans use both sides, each one has a dominant side which, according to the theory, explains much about his or her behaviour, interests, personality, and mode of thinking. This led to the coined terms left-brained or right- brained individuals
- 30. LEFT- BRAINED These people are oOrganized o Logical o Detail-oriented They prefer o sequencing o linear thinking o mathematics o thinking in words o Like to set goals o Can interpret information well o Keep a tidy room o Answer questions spontaneously o Follow directions and read directions
- 31. RIGHT-BRAINED These people are oIntuitive o Risk-takers o Creative They prefer o imagination o holistic thinking o rhythm o feelings visualization o daydreaming o Adventure o Writing o Fantasies o expression
- 32. THE THEORY’S ADVANTAGES ANDDISADVANTAGES
- 33. PRO : LEARNIN G Upon knowingthe brain inclination or to which brain a person is ‘affiliated’, he or she could think of ways to boost strengths and compensate for weaknesses. It may lead someone to develop effective ways to learn and study.
- 34. CON: STEREOTYPING Brain dominance mayhave a negative effect or may even impede learning when this results in a self-fulfilling prophecy.

- 38. Have you everheard of mind map? Popularized by Tony Buzan, a mind map is a thinking technique used to visually organize information. It is a creative and logical way of organizing thoughts and ideas in your mind through a diagram. It usually revolves around a central subject. Major ideas in the form of images and/or words branch out from the main subject. Texts, lines, colors, images, and symbols may be used to make mind maps. Mind maps can be simply done by manual drawing or sketching or through more intricate processes using computer applications.

- 43. New Research Suggeststhe Brain is More like a Muscle It changes and gets stronger when you use it. Scientists have been able to show how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn. A person who can’t lift 20 lbs when they start exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 lbs after working out for a long time. “Use it or lose it!”
- 44. Inside the cortexofbrain are billions of neurons connecting in a complicated network. Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems. When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger. The more that you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain cells grow.
- 45.
- 46. How do weknow that our brain can grow stronger? Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains. They found out that animals who lived in a challenging environment were different from animals who lived alone in brain cages.
- 47. The whole brainof those playing outside were 10% heavier than the animals who lived alone without toys. Even old animals got smarter and developed more connections in their brain when they got the chance to play with new toys and other animals, their brains also grew by about 10%.
- 48. Practice is the Key! Fromthe very first day you are born, you can hear everyone talk and you make sense of these strange sounds and figure out what they mean. As young as you are, you’re exercising your brain and learn how to talk goo- goo to real words. The brain has changed – it has actually gotten smarter.
- 49.
- 50. “Don’t be dumb,you’re smart!” No one thinks babies are stupid because they can’t talk. They just haven’t learned how to yet. Some people will call a person dumb if they can’t solve problems or spell a word right, or read fast – even though all these things are learned with practice. You can learn something difficult until you find one topic easier because your brain muscles gotten stronger!
- 51. We are allSMART When one say – “That’s the smartest student in the class”. They don’t realize that any other students could learn to do as well if they exercised and practice studying as much. No one is really that well-rounded. But you can achieve this goal by learning how to use your brain effectively. Boost it up with mind boggling questions, read a book, learn some facts, make good decisions and devise an idea or plan.
- 52. Think about it! Weare smart, and we can be smarter! Just try not to push yourself too hard. Remember: it is a gradual
