Summary

The “Save Our Brains” zine helps students explore the following questions:

  • How are our brains structured and how do they process information? 
  • Why do our brains need protection? 
  • How do speed and weight impact energy transfer in collisions? 
  • How do collisions impact our brains? 
  • Who is helping protect our brains and how can we help?
