Why do tomatoes grow green on the plant, and then turn yellow, orange, then red when they’re ripe and ready to eat? What exactly is going on?
Issue 12 is all about colour, including the difference between light and paint, we look at the colours of the spectrum, why leaves and grass is green, about the history of dyes, black & white, why different planets are different colours and more.

Right through school, exams, sixth form, college and university, a happy child will more likely be successful in whatever they choose to do.
…happiness is a tremendous advantage in a world that emphasizes performance. On average, happy people are more successful than unhappy people at both work and love. They get better performance reviews, have more prestigious jobs, and earn higher salaries. They are more likely to get married, and once married, they are more satisfied with their marriage.

The right food at the right times of day are important in helping not only children but also adults perform mentally. This is especially relevant during periods of taking exams:
Everybody knows you should eat breakfast the day of a big test. High-carb, high-fiber, slow-digesting foods like oatmeal are best, research shows. But what you eat a week in advance matters, too. When 16 college students were tested on attention and thinking speed, then fed a five-day high-fat, low-carb diet heavy on meat, eggs, cheese and cream and tested again, their performance declined.
However, this should not exclude the occasional pizza or takeaway which can have a highly beneficial mental affect on a child who may need to let of steam and relax avery now and then during extended periods of revision.

The bottom line is that self-discipline beats IQ. It is useless to have great results and a high IQ if a child by university age can’t motivate themselves out of bed.
In The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, he argues:
Dozens of studies show that will-power is the single most important keystone habit for individual success.
Students who exerted high levels of willpower were more likely to earn higher grades in their classes and gain admission into more selective schools. They had fewer absences and spent less time watching television and more hours on homework.
“Highly self-disciplined adolescents outperformed their more impulsive peers on every academic-performance variable,” the researchers wrote.
“Self-discipline predicted academic performance more robustly than did IQ. Self-discipline also predicted which students would improve their grades over the course of the school year, whereas IQ did not.… Self-discipline has a bigger effect on academic performance than does intellectual talent.”

“A loss of one hour of sleep is equivalent to [the loss of] two years of cognitive maturation and development”
… and goes on to discuss how sleep deprivation or even reduction can cause a significant and measurable impact on their grades.
Teens who received A’s averaged about fifteen more minutes sleep than the B students, who in turn averaged fifteen more minutes than the C’s, and so on. Wahlstrom’s data was an almost perfect replication of results from an earlier study of over 3,000 Rhode Island high schoolers by Brown’s Carskadon. Certainly, these are averages, but the consistency of the two studies stands out. Every fifteen minutes counts.

Don’t just read TO your children, let them read WITH you and ask you any questions including meanings of words or sentences.
…when shared book reading is enriched with explicit attention to the development of children’s reading skills and strategies, then shared book reading is an effective vehicle for promoting the early literacy ability even of disadvantaged children.

Being in good physical shape will improve your ability to learn and remember.
Indeed, in a 2007 study of humans, German researchers found that people learn vocabulary words 20 percent faster following exercise than they did before exercise, and that the rate of learning correlated directly with levels of BDNF.
Following a three month exercise schedule, blood-flow increased to the part of the brain concerned with memory and learning by 30%.
In his study, Small put a group of volunteers on a three-month exercise regimen and then took pictures of their brains… What he saw was that the capillary volume in the memory area of the hippocampus increased by 30 percent, a truly remarkable change.

Studies have shown that a child who is learning an instrument on average will have a higher IQ:
Compared with children in the control groups, children in the music groups exhibited greater increases in full-scale IQ. The effect was relatively small, but it generalized across IQ subtests, index scores, and a standardized measure of academic achievement.
