Incredible GrowingBrain

  This is a fun product that allows anyone to "grow" a brain. When you remove the brain from the package it measures about 1.5" square. To "grow" the brain it is placed in room temperature water and allowedto expand.  Over the course of about 48 hours the brain takes theapproximate shape and size of a real human brain.  The hydrated braincan then be left in a jar, or allowed to dry.  When it is alloweddry the brain shrinks to its original compressed size.

  The "growing brain" is a great classroom project, because kidslove to keep track of its growth.  It's even great out of the classroom...Forinstance; these expanded brains look fantastic on the kitchen window sill. The package has a fact sheet with "Incredible Brain Facts" (did you knowthat different kinds of experiences change the brain physically? -- Brain Fact #4).  In addition to the facts, the package illustratesthe location of the hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain.
