Vocabulary Lesson (Vocab1.zip) :  contributed by Steven Holmes of Hiram Johnson High School in Sacramento 

This is a simple puzzle, merely 1-dimensional, that illustrates how Brain Cell can be used as a fun way to reinforce a vocabulary lesson. The student is given 5 words and must place them in order based on the clues. The clues are quite creative!

US Presidents (Presidents.zip): You must place these 5 famous US Presidents in chronological order, 1st through most recent. Identify where each president was born, what party he represented and who is vice president was.

Math Series (Math.zip): This is more of a math puzzle than a logic problem as the clues are mathematical rather than logical. Columns 1 through 5 each contain a math series. In other words there is a pattern running through the numbers so that you can calculate the next number in the series. Your job is to arrange the numbers in each column to form the math series as described by the clues.

Astronomy Lesson (Planets.zip): Learn about the Solar system. You must place the first five planets of our solar system in order from the Sun. How many moons does each planet have? What is the diameter of each of these planets in miles? How much would a 100 pound man (or woman) weigh on each of these planets? You may use the clues or use your knowledge to solve this one!
