Are you ready to unlock the full potential of your brain?Spaced learning is a very interesting approach to learning thathas been shown in studies to be more effective than otherapproaches. Our brains are designed in such a way that we retain bits ofinformation that might be useful to our survival. We've seen howthis works in regards to neurotransmitters.

Find a TV program or game that they loveand then explain to them how it was based on history - or howliving in that time would have been just like living in an actionmovie. Trying to teach a kid who loves Sonic the Hedgehog aboutphysics? Then try discussing with them the physics of runningthat fast, whether it would be possible and what would happen toyour body if you did. Mind maps are diagrams that link multiple ideas on a single pagein the structure of a 'web'.
