Schizophrenia is a mysterious, tragic brain disease that affects 24 million adults worldwide with hallucinations, delusions and other symptoms. Mr. Keafer understands the disease first hand -- he has it. Like most victims of the disease he was diagnosed when he was in his late teens and has often wondered, "why me?" Is it genetic or environmental? Researchers are closing in on the cause. All 50 Secrets of the Sequence videos have an accompanying classroom-tested lesson that encourages students to further explore the video topics. Each lesson includes background information, state and national science standards, discussion questions and answers, teacher notes and an activity that will ensure a hands-on, "minds-on" experience.
