Then Ayan bin Salman shared some information about insects called "Ant-lions".

Ayeza gave a book review of "How Mind Works", which was some how related to the topic of previous session, then Rija gave a descriptive PowerPoint presentation on the functions and facts of brain . After that we discussed further about what makes a good thinker and we also discussed about what brain needs to function properly and we got to know that these three things help to function the brain properly they are:

1. Oxygen
2. Water
3. Minerals

We also got to know that the brain works best when the person is in state of fear. Some questions came up which were answered perfectly.

The participants were given only one home task which was to drink a glass of water every morning as water helps brain to function properly.

After introducing each other, our club member Ayan, shared some information about Ant lions, which is a type of insect that he had found in a flowerpot with dry sand. He had also bought the Ant lions in a covered jar, and we got to see them.

 Then our other club Member, Aiza, shared a book she had read, about How Mind Works. She explained about the book and told us about our nerves, and the Left Brain-Right Brain theory. It was quite informative.

Then, I, Zainab shared my article about Qualities of a Good Thinker.  Then we were asked about how many glasses of water did you drink today? We had different answers, from 0 to 3 glasses. Then we were told that water is very important for our Kidneys, and if they don’t get it, they start to shrink painfully. Also, our brain needs food, the 4 important things that our brain needs as brain food:

   1.   Oxygen- A supply of good, fresh air. 

   2.   Water- A maximum of 12 glasses of water each day.

   3.   Minerals – A daily intake of fruit and a healthy diet.

   4.   Questions- Lots of unanswered questions are good for your brain.

Then we viewed Rijja, one of pour Club Member’s presentation about How our Mind Works, which was very informative and also contained some interesting facts about our brain’s appearance and contents.

Then we viewed our blog and were reminded to comment. The homework was to comment and research some more about the human brain. After this session, our Guest, Manzar Imam, talked with some of our members’ parents.  We also took some photos.

Today’s session was interesting and the presentations were also informative.
