Program Description:
Shake Up Your Brain teaches modern brain science and learning theory through songs included on Roger Day’s CD, Why Does Gray Matter? The CD makes innovative use of “the brain” as a theme for every song. The Schoolhouse Rock quality of this project is impossible to ignore and one of its best features. Through high energy music with a rock feel for 3rd – 5th graders, Day teaches a wide range of facts about the brain and how we learn. The study guide reinforces this work with vocabulary, resources, learning activities, and games.
