Firstborns Get the Brains?
This Science upd8 resource draws on research showing that the child raised as the eldest in a family is likely to have a higher IQ than their siblings.
The reasons for this advantage are not yet clear. In this activity students come up with creative explanations and plan how to collect evidence to test them...
Fishy Business
