Yesterday students dissected a jello brain to see what type of thinking goes on inside a SUPERFLEXIBLE brain.
Students compared a "Rock Brain" (a brain mould filled with frozen water) to a "Superflex Brain" (a brain mould filled with jello). We used tweezers to pull out messages that helped us understand the type of thinking that does on inside a Superflex Brain.
Students discussed what type of thinking would occur in each of the brains. They were quick to identify that when Rock Brain invades your thinking you are using your ME Brain. Using your ME brain involves thinking only about yourself. When you are using Superflex strategies to defeat Rock Brain, you are using your WE brain. When you use your WE brain you are considerate of the thoughts, feelings, needs and wants of both yourself and others (Social Smarts!)
