The research proposal provides two lesson plans and a survey to assess whether children are learning in a "brain friendly" environment. The paper explores how classroom environments that are conducive to learning are a vital component in the education process. The paper examines how providing students with a "brain compatible" program of instruction - one that appeals to all of the senses, is inviting, playful and happy, feels comfortable and smells great - will result in a regimen that provides nutritious "Brain Food" for these kindergartners to third graders. The paper includes a survey to be administered to both children and adult workshop participants to determine how well they enjoyed the lessons, and what recommendations they may have for future workshops.

Appendix

"The results of this experiment will likely confirm that as people grow older, they begin to lose their sense of smell (the teacher should ensure that the concentration of the first level jar is sufficiently weak that the average adult cannot discern it, while a young person can). Students will be asked why younger people might smell better than older people, and the teacher can explain that this difference in smelling ability could be caused by a lot of things such as being exposed to more pollution in the air, lifestyle habits such as smoking, or maybe just as a result of the aging process itself."
