    This document provides instructions for an activity where participants investigate whether they are left-brained or right-brained by completing simple tasks with their left and right sides and recording their results. The tasks include writing with a hand, stepping on a coin with a foot, looking through a tube with an eye, and holding a phone to an ear. Most people are found to prefer their right side for tasks. The activity shows that right-handed people also tend to be right-footed, right-eyed and right-eared. Being left or right-sided develops during childhood based on how tasks are taught.

    STEP 4 What is DNA ?

    DNA is an essential molecule for life. It acts like a


    recipe holding the instructions telling our bodies how
    to develop and function.

    What does DNA stand for?

    DNA is short for deoxyribonucleic acid.


    Different Cells in the
    Body

    Our bodies have around


    210 different types of
    cells. Each cell does a
    different job to help our
    body to function. There
    How do cells
    are blood cells,know
    bone what to do?
    cells, and cells that make
    Cells get their instructions on what do to from
    our muscles.
    DNA. DNA acts sort of like a computer program.
    The cell is the computer or the hardware and the
    DNA is the program or code.

    YOUR
    Are you left or
    CHALLENG right brained?
    E
    In this activity, you will get to
    find out whether you have a
    sidedness — that is, whether
    you prefer to do activities with
    one side of your body — and
    what that might say about
    your brain.
    Gather Your
    STEP 1 Materials
    Make your results
    STEP 2 table
    STEP 3 Get to work!

    Get your first volunteer ready:


    Ask them to :
    - Write their name on a piece of paper (which hand
    did they use?)
    - Place a coin on the floor directly in front of them
    and ask them to step on the coin (which foot did
    they use to step on the coin?)
    - Give them your empty paper towel tube and ask
    them to look at an object through it (which eye do
    they use to look through the tube?)
    - Give them a phone and ask them to listen to it
    (which ear do they put the phone up to?)

    - Record all of your results in the table you made,


    write left or right in the correct place after each
    task is completed
    - Now try it with someone else
    - Can you think of your own tasks to add to the
    table and ask people to do?

    Look at your results table, are more of your


    volunteers right-handed or left-handed? What
    about right-footed versus left-footed, right-
    eyed versus left-eyed, and right-eared versus
    STEP 4 What happened ?

    Most scientific studies find that between 70%


    and 90% of people are right-handed. From this
    activity, you probably saw that most people
    who are right-handed are also right-sided
    overall. That is, they usually prefer to use their
    right foot, eye, and ear as well.

    The same trend exists with left-handed people.


    A person who is left-handed is more likely to
    also be left-footed, left-eyed, and left-eared.

    A person's preference for using either their


    right or left side for each task develops during
    childhood. But sometimes how a child is taught
    to do a task can overrule their preferences.

    1. Use your 2. Repeat step


    scissors to make one two more
