as we say there about never giving up every weekend on d. w. the to choose and send and emoji to someone you only need thumbs. but writing with a pen or pencil involves the entire hand. it's a veritable anatomical wonder made up of 27 different bones, a perfect multi functional tool with close ties to the brain. writing things out by hand, improve recall, how come that topic and much more this week on dw science program tomorrow today. welcome to the show, the newborns will grab woods

in their immediate environment. they have an innate grasp reflex. it probably originally rose from the need to reflectively latch on to a mother, animals for the pin. so graph which involves coordinating with the sun only starts to develop around 6 months. the grasp reflex is subsequently lost and training improves dexterity, and daily life. most children can tie their own shoelaces by the age of 4 and learned to right in the 2nd grade class and the small but very good town of old. today's lesson plan includes handwriting. see if i can, i can see that so many of you, the training is really paying off of a writing by hand is a complex process. during this activity, 12 areas of your brain are active and more than 30 muscles and 17 joints in the hand have to work together. malia, near the d, as my uh, is

a researcher in an institute dedicated to the topic. she's here today to observe how individual children use their hands when. right. how do they hold the pin? do they write fluently? or do they tense up? it should ivan down and really learning to rise to is learning to move comes from because when we talk about him by saying we're not just talking about finished classes, but the movement that leads to hand writing i'm sitting here writing by hand creates a memory trace in the brain, different letters lead to corresponding movements. so this makes the learning easier. and mrs. highlight, rising cost saved and i find it pretty easy, but it also helps my owns a bit to test. some deepen surveys have shown that children are losing interest and writing. now again, new ideas my are,

has observed that as well along with something else that the hand city comes. warranty is deteriorating, driving the children, don't write, they write faulty slowly and they tend so, and they write very allegedly 5. and so, unless somebody needs to finish the half of all boys in elementary school and $1.00 and $3.00 girls have problems with writing, according to germany's national teachers association weaknesses can be detected with the help of a special digital pin. a touch sensitive screen under the paper measures pressure movements and speed of writing and evaluating the data directly along the one in dolton l l l 3 times and then one more time, 3 times stop, stop. the test also allows melody and the la d as mild to clearly explain to the children what they're doing wrong. should i say

now you're right fox, you can do it very well, then it gets your speed is very good for your age. and i, yeah, this looks like you press a little too hard and we're going to do an exercise for that. now on this, i know the results. health myers institute develop freely accessible methods that can be easily implemented by teachers. they also help train kids fingers in a playful way and then we do this so that we don't always press so hard on the pen. that's money to pick them up. as soon as like today sion increases, they write foster when they copy from the blackboard. for example, when teachers come and encourage this even more in size, but it's not happening on the slide the for that. so either the writing down stories dictated by the teacher is also a good way to practice. even

a single hour of hand training every week brings measurable progress because it helps many children enjoy writing more. but enjoyment as far from the only factor playing a role. we would like the children to spend less time in front of screens huffman, our less with technical media, and instead do stuff kids like to do experience nature, make cookies at home. i need to play with both actors. in other words, every thing that's experienced have typically with the hands, competition with enhance in the front of the time, so that i haven't heard of writing must not be replaced. it's very valuable for our brains. digitalization isn't the on to success, but we should be using it where it's appropriate for the moment, then not the the digital age has given rise to many programs and making writing easier.

practically, every cell phone now has a voice to text function that's all had. but artificial intelligence has taken things to the next level with tools like chat, g, p, t, tell it to write an essay on a particular topic, and it'll turn one out in seconds, go off, i'm not 100 percent, correct, or stylistically perfect. even so a i is supposing a tricky di lemme for schools this elementary school in switzerland, kids are getting involved with a i as an early age then the old amount is one of the 1st primary school teachers in the country to teach 10 and 11 year olds, healthy use a on the cost if you can always ask for help, but you also always have to be critical and ask yourself whether it's the right thing to do. if you need to do something with the chat cvt, there's one computer here in the front. and another in the back is

the kids can only access the account g p t on to school computers. and the accounts belong to the school. the class works on different tasks. one is to us contract t t t. who am i? make a riddle about the love. i don't think i could have made such a good riddle about myself. it doesn't so well from so little information much sooner be so good. this is, i just find it exciting because it's like an artificial intelligence and can do stuff. you tell it to do, which is pretty cool. but when you're asking certain questions, it doesn't really work properly yet. if the stuff up is fairly finished on the, on the city. since it's exciting to see how fast it collects information from the

internet and how well it can write text a dish phone on the web hosting. do you have just one version or did you ask several times? i asked twice. the 1st time i rose to make a riddle about me, i'm 10 and i love dogs. and then it said i was adult. and it's good for you to realize that you can make a new version and always improve and change this. and i'm thinking sites then the old amount things chunk, g p t problems like those being discussed in other schools or in the state police, it's important to provide kids with the right tools for the future. especially when it comes to important technological development. i mean, between, from what we teach computer science and you might think that means we teach kids how to use a computer or how one works. but at its core,

it's about media education in medium. the student should learn how to use such media and the chat g p t, as an essential part of that. it's also a facet of dealing with new developments and the artificial intelligence behind testing, which takes things one step further to gold. what the youngest school kids are still playing around with this already grade more concrete for all the ones that every day school life as all visit to the school in menacing and shows. the goal here is to lead the pack in terms of digitalization and a i in the classroom chemistry languages, algebra. teach us here right now. incorporating chat g p t until lessons and practically every subject. in miss smith's class, middle school students are finding out how well chunk g p t can handle complicated arithmetic issues. you think the question is whether the solutions are correct.

get all this, do i go to different results? when else the right questions, chuck g, p t come spits out solutions that help the students sold some of the problems on that right in the past. and the system that responds to individual needs, the position comes cost input. so it's very good at analyzing tasks. you know, and it's very good at explaining how to solve them and it almost, but it can actually solve the problems for a new law and lose the house i left needs assessment to be especially when it comes to math. it's often wrong. that's a force that it's good at suggesting what you have to do and explaining what it's actually about breaking down to us and explaining them in simpler terms included. i have to admit that it was the 2nd group and especially for someone like me who has a hard time with math, it's definitely a help to remove the students in for the fall. must teacher, you're not supposed to go sees great potential. and i, even if it caught the master very well,

he's especially happy to have some multiples in the run up to final exams on the 15th. so i don't have time to go over every question individually with each student . it's just not possible. and the time we have available these days, ones for thought. so in that way it's sensational. maybe it's an a fault. it's like you have a partner who can answer certain questions for you guys. and as a teacher, you know which questions the partner can answer. well, and which ones you have to take over yourself as insoluble minds. and if you understand that, then you can use it efficiently. if it's a bicycle with a single say, i could see on things that fellow teach up. math. no sky is a german teacher at the same school feel so regularly use is chuck g, p t. in his license. you can see, i mean we're in the middle of preparing an essay. and today, the aim is for you all to get feedback on a draft that you've already written, to should even hoffman on. and for that,

we need to talk about what prompt we need to enter. whether it's good to him by popular e style or text structure, students had learned how to write good prompt the entries and chunk g p t. this time the i a suppose to get some specific tips on wherever and how to improve that recipes. as it tends to be taking its activity 1st, told me that the pros and cons i entered here could be structured more clearly i should feed things. so i did that and then re entered it. anything like that. and then it said, well done. well, it works now cuz i also think the text is better now do the structure is generally better than you suspect. it reads better and more clearly in sat it improve the flow and made my argument smoke here, and it's amazingly specific. it took bits out and rewarded them. it was much better than the original. the original 6, the german teacher isn't worried about his people's getting lazy or trying to cheat on the comic trait. lucky alternative for additional calls as it ends in plagiarism

existed before. now it's nothing new. and of course if the text is too perfect, if and you know the student comes and how their writing has developed it. if something doesn't fit, you can just ask nichol. i also think the students know that they'll ultimately have to manage without charging meetings with them. with the rise of i tools like chunk g p t. it's important that young people learn how to navigate them and use them to their advantage. but there's one aspect of learning where a i can't help you studying for and taking tests for most school kids and students, a very stressful process, many feel overwhelmed before hand. let's take a look at what's going on and how to overcome the fear of exams. oh no, i'm not going to make it. i need some sleep. but what if i fail the exam?

doesn't use this sounds familiar with college slides is no joke. you want to perform your best, but often it's hard to stay focused and disciplined all the time. but it is possible to beat, to call it stress and face your exams. let's explode the science behind that stress head students all over. that was a number of seem to have increased. for example, do out of 5 college students suffer from anxiety, one and 3, even from depressive, send dense cove, and has had its own part to play here. but stress for say, is not bad. it can make us do well and exams. stress straps up our body and mind and import into dangerous situations. it increases hormones like afternoon,

dominion and cortisol, which speed of a hot and improve of concentration. a body has been doing this for centuries to cold, put dangerous and important situations. it's called the fight or flight response. but when stress hormones reach very high levels, the system and then performance and concentration decrease. typical signs and symptoms of high stress levels can be a founding, heart, headaches, nausea and for sleep and problems. concentrating in extreme cases, stressed into the anxiety that can make you go completely blank in tests. so why does it feel like anxiety swallow is your knowledge been feel dominates box . so if i brains communication factories can get low. we can't recall anything we've learned. even though the information is stored in operating because when

stress hormones are high, brains control center right behind the forehead. the prefrontal cortex stops regulating high thinking and emotions as it usually does. instead pulled about like b like deluxe, the center for emotions and compulsive behavior decal. and what we feel is feel oh, this is feeling it's in now this before that that's, that's not me. but besides from being ready for bed, another important factor is how and what you think in a stressful situation. thoughts like i'm a bit nervous, but that's okay. can actually come you down but it's like, i never make it a sales set off of this just cycle of feel and driving stress comments. the good thing is you can do something about it. the bad thing. you might have to change some general habits in your life. one important aspect is taking breaks even

if you are under time pressure, engenders everything that relax as the body in mind hits with stress and anxiety that are some scientifically proven methods that really work. studies have shown the benefits of practicing mindfulness relaxation, breathing exercises and meditation. there are lots of apps on the market that offer these methods, but be a little careful which one you choose as only a few apps have been scientifically evaluated. see if you can find some information on it before using it. another important factor in feeling been balanced is a good night's sleep. yet to out of 3 students don't sleep enough. particularly during exam periods, they cut down on their sleep. it's really impacts it or could it make performance?

one of the primary functions of sleep is learning and memory. if you don't sleep, memory simply doesn't happen. how much sleep younger does need is not clearly known, but it is thought to be around 8 hours. finally, let's talk about giving your day a bit more structure, set up a good plan defined times for rent and what you learn. and when you exercise, meet friends, listen to good music or use social media, especially in the 2 weeks before an exam. a good study plan has suddenly not tried to avoid osman, is coming in all night to us and us, you feel like you can't manage your stress. so things id, talk to people usually on the trust like friends, family, or university counselors. don't hesitate to seek professional head, try to find out which of these fits has viewed. and there's

a good chance you'll say that most mostly to college life. even if you fail it just every now and again, it doesn't mean the end of the world. on the contrary, in the long run, it can actually help strengthen your ability to bounce back your resilience. no one succeeds at everything all the time, but some people deal with failure better than others can be trained. isabel, it, him why she has a psychologist who studies what helps people cope in moments of crisis. resilience plays a key role in their research. she and her colleagues even look into test subjects, brains, that term resilience refers to the ability to cope with challenges. scientists recognize 3 basic types of cute and so i'm fine with us against both of us who resilience buttons. i it with me because i think it nicely demonstrates the different ways that people react to adversity to pop things. skim assessments,

only again, it's come to have been much in the when does life to develop latrice ways. but if you look at the trunk, it remains every time and stuff and stuff because i worked with some people, the stress bounces all in 110, so it's called resistance and that keeps keeps things. other people felt less well and may develop symptoms of strengths of incentives. the when the wind dies down a little which is corporate generation, they manage to regenerate and stop growing normally. again, just like all bombs i did before the windsor fly, started blowing. when done sony to put them as a sub type known as reconfiguration, perhaps what? i'm sorry, this is where the trunk changes that on that bonzai op on. so i didn't do so well for a while. it didn't get to the microsoft, but then it managed to grow in a new direction and i'm on by an example would be people who had come. so they also managed to develop new skills abilities and i did in order to be even better equipped in a matter of speaking. hey mike, for instance, realize what's really important to them in their lives,

in straight house and completely new direction. they've got small you these like they might quit the job, i hope to see very specific activities and hoping resilience used to be viewed as a kind of inborn characteristic. one person might be more resilient to another, less so. so research has shown that how resilience you are can change over the course of your life. how do i send her team one to understand exactly how it works? that in this case here, we look into the brain because we found it to missouri and people, some struck to the fact that developed in the brain to put them into connected enough. and that's very, i'm like the mikaela, the son to for processing emotional side. but also another important structure of the prefrontal cool toxic in the full brain. again, it's responsible for thinking and planning this. and of course, these are also structures that can be trained on. and because the ability can be trained, isabella homepage and her team have founded a resilience outpatient clinic. here people can learn and develop specific

resilience factors and courses or an individual coaching sessions. for exam, well they learn to confront and take on situations that they find challenging and that even failure at times can have its positive sides. a little shy, if i don't have to say here is of course no fill up to the phone, but it is positive like no one gets 3 life without some crisis. i. so you have to practice failure funding. we should teach people. it's good to fail because you can learn from itself now and let us read. why do you have a science question? send it to us in a video text or voice message. if we answer it on the show, we'll send you a little surprised as a thank you. so come on just that this week or question comes from jorge energy k from el salvador

the what can we learn from spiders? the spiders and most of builders that help a lot to teach helps the they can produce so many times find the human thread long enough to encircles the clothes which weigh less than a bar of sorry, the, the europe and gotten the spider. we've subscribe from several different types of threats. spider silk is free of bacteria and also mike crowds more elastic some night long and ground for ground, much stronger than steel. pray tangled up in spite of soak doesn't stand. the chumps. a single thread can contain up to 1500 strums. the material force is

produced in the animals optimum and was the cold spin of wrecked. as the spider slowly shapes its tread down to these glands. reset joseph in working for decades to replicate the price i saw sufficiently. ready ready to do so, they fast copied the dna segment from the slightest d 9 that provides the genetic recipe for soak. then they transplanted it into bacteria. the bacteria modified in this way start turning out the protein acts as a building block for spite of silk. this rule material is then used to produce also special threads, even more or less to come, staples and then not tro counterparts. manufacturer's warranty makes me cuss from spite of self and coating. so medical implants, some cosmetic products also contain spine to salt proteins. the elastic material

is even use an ad across the twins and reset to see many more potential future applications for spite of silk, the we imagined about science and technology. that's like d, w. science is now on say what to do for fun. why do gravitational ways when did people begin getting high and laughing gas? how do i need drums boogie to the beads? and what's the perfect king footboard find? find the on says, gets most dw signs on new tick tock channel. and that wraps things up this week on dw science show. thanks for watching and see you

again next time on tomorrow. today the the

share many opportunities over what is what they say, but i hope i loved them so much. i don't want my grandson, leaving home can be contemptuous, but for different reasons. and the child would then go to another country, she hop on. why would that be good if i'm afraid that she would be murdered or to that us in there? when generations questions coming up on in good shape. what does our blood say about our health?

what is the correlation between blood type include infection? how is potentially life threatening fences detected and who we be able to synthesize part of this? oh boy. in good shape. in 30 minutes on d, w, the response of distribution, it's wanted to say a word and he knows how to use this. this guy knows about energy in a way that these as much functions have no idea. it's been pretty clear, especially of late. the energy often can be the printer symbol. that's what menu deals the multiple ones to fix that. but just

a glimpse behind the facade of this energy time tell us, gosh, come russia's political weapon starts february, 3rd on d w. so you're insane and feel the same way you expect and want different things from life than your parents. i just want to pursue what that's nice on fire or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, unreasonable, all stuff. porters, those nonsense. i want my son to the doctor. is there an alternative plan? everything to prevent a divorce, but nothing works. so in the case the time you were to sleep and we're paying for now. and then when generations last

this week on dw is kind of funny. feels like they are the this is need to be in use and these are the top stories. so the ceremony has been held at the form. i'll switch that account to mock international holocaust. remember to stay on this day and 1945. so if it falls as liberate to the camp in nazi occupied germany, nazi germany systematic imagines around $6000000.00 jews and the how the costs in addition to roma and since the people homosexuals and people with disabilities as well as political opponents. germany has joined the u. s. u k and canada, imposing funds to the un agency for palestinian refugees as.
