The brain was an exciting experience for me for this to only be my first time. I wish i would had done it last year.The competition was very intense and nerve wrecking. trying to learn all these new facts and plus review information that i had learned from school in my anatomy class.The brain bee brought a new perspective to me on why the brain was so important and made me only want to become a neurosurgeon even more.in case you didn't know yea, that's what i want to be when i grow up.The brain is very important!I've learned so many thing in this completion  and i hope that whoever has a chance to be in this competition takes that risk and be in the competition because it its help you grow and learn better as a person. The brain bee is a place to be ! :)

- wow i cant believe this is my last year here . :(  I had so much fun here while it lasted , meet so many great people and learned so many different things . I'm glad that my last year here is in the neuroscience component ! i love dealing with the brain and just learning period. i am proud to be a YES TEEN . a couple more months with the science center then i'm off to college.Now its time to get prepared for the brain bee. !

So which ingredient is more effective on putting fruit flies to sleep? So we had ehtanol, alcohol, ether and flynap and one by one we put a q-tip into a bottle filled with the fruitflies and time how long it would take to put the flies to sleep. Using the flynap we concluded that it took 2 mins to put all the flies to sleep. Ethanol and acohol it took more than 2-5 mins to put the flies to sleep. The last ingredient was the ther which took onloy 25 secs to knock out the flies. The smell was so strong , i began to nod off myself. I was so sleepy. We found out that ether is the most active ingredient and is use to put most people to sleep decades ago. This experiment was interesting and let the whole component SLEEPY !
