Brain Awareness

We had a wonderful time learning all about the brain yesterday from Angell parent Shelly Flagel and other neuroscientists from UM.  They were unable to bring the human brain, but we did have a chance to see (and touch, as an option!) a real sheep's brain.  We also examined rats' brains and skulls, learned about the hemispheres of the brains, and what a neuron does.  Big thanks to Mrs. Flagel for sharing her time and expertise with us!












We also went on a field trip yesterday to Hill Auditorium to hear the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra perform "Red, White and Flutes", a tribute to American composers.
