Brain Dip Resources featuring Neurotransmitters
Our neural network is an incredible universe where we can remember, create, imagine and even time travel!
But! If you're starting your lessons with retrieval practice, which usually takes the form of a formative test, you will be left with some students feeling disengaged and unmotivated because they couldn't do the test.
Retrieval practice for some students ends up releasing stress hormones rather than supporting their neurons.
There are other ways to prime our beautiful brains and that is through understanding neurotransmitters. Our neurons are constantly releasing neurotransmitters which play a key role in consolidating our memories.
That's why Brain Dip resources focus on neurotransmitters and how best to utilise them through activity.
A single creative thought can increase the efficiency of our neurotransmitters.
All your students can start the lesson feeling motivated, focused, connected and even feeling good about themselves with just their creative thinking.
Our stylish resources are compatible with:
-
Microsoft PowerPoint for the classroom
-
Google Jamboard for blended learning
-
Any printer, so your students can take it home
Brain Dip resources activate
Dopamine
In small amounts, it will stimulate self-motivation and get us ready for the next challenge

Glutamate
Excites our memories through creative thinking and builds more connections in our neural pathways
Endorphins
Produced through bundles of laughter which supports the memory ready for retrieval
Serotonin
Supported by the ease and flow of knowledge which improves our well-being and cognition
Oxytocin
Energised when we share and learn from each other forming an awesome bond.
