Description

In March 2008 over 680 schools and 75,000 students across the country participated in the mass educational research project, Ready To Learn? The Experiment. Discover what the findings of this important project were, their implications for schools, and the science behind the experiment. The Experiment was designed to investigate the impact breakfast, sleep, and the journey to school have on children's readiness to learn. A unique set of online activities and a survey was designed in partnership with child psychology experts The Tavistock Clinic to measure memory and concentration and the link between these and the diet, sleep and travel variables. Neuro-scientists Baroness Susan Greenfield and Dr Paul Howard-Jones outline the lessons for education. Professors Gregory Stores of Oxford University, David Benton of Swansea University and Stuart Biddle from Loughborough University contribute insights into the latest research in schools on learning and lifestyles.
