4. HOW DID YOU ARRIVE AT SCHOOL?
The answer involves a wrinkled, pinkish-gray, three-
pound organ that is primarily composed of fat and
water and goes by the name of “brain”.
You got here because your brain told you to
come to school.

7. Your cerebrum is the largest part of your
brain and handles conscious thoughts and
actions. Different areas within your
cerebrum also have different
responsibilities like language, behavior,
sensory processing and more. Areas of your
brain also commonly work together on the
same tasks, helping you understand what’s
happening in the world around you.
8. The brain stem connects the spinal cord
and the brain. It controls functions that
keep people alive such as breathing,
heart rate, blood pressure, and food
digestion. Those activities occur without
any thought. You aren’t telling yourself,
“ Inhale. Exhale. Inhale.” You’re just
breathing.
9. This region controls voluntary movement. When you
want to lift your fork, wave your hand, brush your
hair or wink at a cutie, you form the thought and
then an area in the cerebellum translate your will
into action.

12. Why do we need to
study the brain?
The brain plays a crucial role in personal development in several ways. Firstly, the
brain's ability to learn, adapt, and form new connections allows individuals to
acquire new skills, knowledge, and behaviors. This neuroplasticity enables
personal growth and development through experiences and learning. Additionally,
the brain's capacity for self-awareness and introspection allows individuals to
reflect on their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, leading to self-improvement
and personal growth. Cognitive functions such as decision-making, problem-
solving, and emotional regulation are all critical for personal development and
are mediated by the brain. Furthermore, the brain's role in regulating emotions
and managing stress is essential for personal development, as it influences
resilience, coping strategies, and overall mental well-being. Overall, the brain is
intricately involved in personal development through its cognitive, emotional, and
adaptive functions.

14. ACTIVITY: MIND MAPPING
A mind map involves writing down a central theme
and thinking of new and related ideas which
radiate out from the centre. By focusing on key
ideas written down in your own words and looking
for connections between them, you can map
knowledge in a way that will help you to better
understand and retain information.
