Let's say you sprain your ankle and the doctor puts you on the good old RICE regimen: rest, ice, compress, elevate. He also suggests taking pain medicine as needed. 

Have you ever thought, how does the pain medicine know it's my ankle that hurts? 

If you have, you're not alone. If you haven't, you're welcome for that thought. Grace and Evie discuss how both pain and pain medicine are transmitted and interpreted by the brain.

If you've ever had the eerie sensation that you've already lived out an EXACT moment before in your life but here it is again, you've had firsthand experience with deja vu. But have you ever taken the time to really look into what that is? 

In this first episode of a three-part series, Mrs. Casper and Miss Duncan dig into some awesome theories about what is causing deja vu -- and they basically all involve dead people. If you're not intrigued by that, you might be an alien - which is also mentioned in the show.

You may have heard reference to floating in the Dead Sea before. It's been on Miss Duncan's bucket list for a long time, but if she were being perfectly honest, she didn't really even know what that meant. Once you listen to this episode on facts about the Dead Sea, we guarantee you (and our teacher) will understand why this amazing place on Earth is worth a visit. 

Get out your bucket lists. You're going to want to add this to your list.
