=Prompt: Science Summary= Go to Science Daily or the Leaf Pile and find an article that is relevant to the chapter(s) you have been studying. Using proper vocabulary, give your summary of the results, relating the info to your text or other sources. Possible details might include:
 * Is the article about a study or an experiment?
 * What research method was used?
 * Who did the research?
 * Do the conclusions support what you are reading about in your textbook? Why or why not?
 * If it’s not in support of the textbook, do you expect upcoming versions of the textbook to include new information? Why or why not?

An infant’s brain is constantly growing and building synapses (Bee). Every day the infant will continue to learn about his or her surroundings. Babies learn mostly by senses. For example, babies tend to look around a lot and touch things while trying to figure out what things are. It is common for babies to know who their mommy’s and daddy’s are. When there is someone new around babies they stare to try and figure out who they are. They know the difference in faces and voices. There is recent research that shows that babies can even tell the difference between babies and adults by their cuteness. For instance, an adult cat and a kitten. Babies have been influenced by the “baby schema.” Baby schema is a round face, high forehead, big eyes, small nose and mouth. This means that they can identify this in animals as well as humans. This is very helpful information because now we can learn how to teach babies and small children safe behavior with animals. This can prevent many incidents such as dog bites, cat scratches and many more injuries. According to Professor Kerstin Meints, this is important because babies are attracted to dogs and puppies and it can help keep babies safe (University).
