Brain Rule #1
Exercise Boosts Brain Power
Medina states that the human brain evolved under conditions of almost constant motion and that we learn better if we are moving. Traditionally classrooms are set up that students come in, sit down and have relatively no movement during class. If the science supports movement for better brain power, how can teachers incorporate movement into their curriculum, lesson plans and classroom environment?
