School Presentation: Oak Ridge Elementary     Location: Oak Ridge, MO    Date: May 7, 2004
The irreplaceable benefits for which the brain is responsible was taught to Oak Ridge Elementary students grades K-6.  Dr. Gibbs taught the 160 students that their brain gives them the characteristics that make them who they are.  In order to show how useful the brain is, Dr. Gibbs focused on each part of the brain and their functions.  He also spoke about the location and size of the brain, and the thickness of the skull in order to help students better understand how small and fragile, yet unique and essential their brain is.
