This afternoon we were learning about how our brains react to stimuli to make us aware of our surroundings through signals received from our senses and signals sent through neurons.

 

Jessie –  We squeezed hands then shoulders and found our shoulder is closer to our brain than our arms.

Joe – This showed that our reaction times were faster on our shoulder than our hand

Jack – We dropped rulers to see how fast our reaction times were.

Innis – I think that the last experiment is fake as when I squeezed my nose I could still tell the different between apple and tattie.

Abigail – We were learning about if our sense of smell affected our taste.

Fin – Even with your hand closing your nostrils, tatties still weren’t tasty

Rhys – When you eat something most of the taste is actually coming from you smelling it
