Memory check Your brain has about 100 billion active neurons or nerve-cells. Each one grows branches like a tree, to store information: up to 20,000 branch like dendrites with each cell. Each connects to other cells by sending electrical-chemical messages along a long axon.
Memory check ,[object Object],Assume  an average of 2 seconds to count each number and 8 hours a day downtime for essential functions: 16rs =3600 x 16 secs   = 57600 secs   = 28880 numbers With 365.25 days each year it is possible to count 10,519,200 numbers per year which is 1,051,920,00 per 100 years so 100 bilion would take slightly less than  10,000 years to count Could you count to 100 billion?

Preferred Learning Styles Some students are very visual: They have to see everything. Others don’t want to see something written down:  they are the more auditory types. Others are kinaesthetic:  they have to stand and move.

condense ,[object Object],All  animals  can be divided into two types, those that have an  internal backbone  and those which do  no t have an  internal backbone . Animals that have an internal backbone can further be divided into those that have a  constant body temp erature and those that have a body temperature which keeps  changing . Some animals which have a constant body temperature are  birds  and  mammals . Animals such as  fish ,  amphibians  and  reptiles  have a changing body temperature. Those animals with no internal backbone can also be divided into two types; animals with only  one cell  and animals with  many cells . Animals with only one cell are called  microscopic  animals. Some animals have no backbone have a  jointed  hard covering over their body. Animals such as  insects ,  spiders  and  crabs  are of this type. There are also some animals with no backbone and  no joint ed covering.  Examples of this type are  worms  and  snails . animals internal backbone no internal backbone constant body temp changing birds mammals fish amphibians reptiles one cell many cells microscopic jointed insects spiders crabs no joint worms snails
