I'm Too Hot to Learn
by Leslie Gudger
Human cells function best within a specific temperature range. Recent scientific data has shown that extreme high temperatures can have detrimental effects on our cells. In fact, repeated exposure to extreme heat (like the 31 consecutive days of 110-plus degree weather we endured in 2023) can damage brain cells, cause inflammation in the brain, and exhaust cognitive reserve. How do we expect our students to gain and retain information under this steadily changing environment? Students will be conducting research on this scientific concept and creating a video to show their findings.
