The website that Brain Gains is from is CBC which is a news website in Canada. The school that this research was done in is City Park Collegiate which is 820 9th avenue North Saskatoon, SaskatchewanCanada S7K 2Z2. In the above corner is a map of where this school is located in Canada. I think that this news piece is very interesting because it shows how important physical activity is. According to the video the students were able to pay attention is class for three hours more and some students were even able to cut down on taking their ADHD medicine. The students in the interview also talked about feeling happier and lucky that they weren't doing the bad things that were being done on the streets. The results were very successful. According to the slide show presentation, the charts showed that in math the students increased scores by 17.3 percent. In language arts in the areas of reading, writing, and sight words the students all aincreased their scores as well. I would say that the program was successful in both a mental and physical aspect for the students. I would say that pe programs were both similar and different. They main similarity is that we share the common goal of getting students active and becoming more fit in the future. They also both want to make fitness a lifetime acitivity. But the differences would be that we also look at skill where as they looked at getting in shape. We look at the cognitive aspect of physical education such as the cues in throwing a basketball.
