Anne visited a group of curious 4-6 year olds (pre-K, kleuterklas in Dutch) to talk brains! They knew the brain helps you think and feel (for instance when you’re hungry) and that it’s in the head. We learned that there are two big parts of the brain connected by a little bridge to talk with each other; that there are many parts of the brain that do slightly different things, and we compared the brain of a human with that of a mouse.
Everyone went home with a DIY brain hat (recommended for curious scientists of all ages).
