Alex: Imaginary Journey Through a System of the Body
The students will choose one of the systems of the human body, such as circulatory, respiratory, digestive, or nervous system, and imagine that they are inside it. They will write a description of what a journey through this system of...

Bio Ed Online: Neurotransmitters Contain Chemicals
Nervous system signals are transmitted electrically along individual neurons, but neurons are separated from each other by a tiny gap. Chemical messengers called neurotransmitters cross the gap between neurons. Neurotransmitters fit into...

Bio Ed Online: What Is a Neuron?
Messages within the brain and the rest of the nervous system are sent very rapidly. These messages are conducted by cells called neurons. Neurons are specialized to receive and transmit message and neurons are connected in networks. In...

Bio Ed Online: Neural Network Signals
Nervous system messages are sent as electrical signals along the length of axons and dissolved salts are important for electrical signaling in cells. In this lesson young scholars are introduced to this concept by creating an electrical...

Teach Engineering: Highlighting the Neuron
In this lesson plan on the brain's neural networks, learners investigate the structure and function of the neuron. They discover ways in which engineers apply this knowledge to the development of devices that can activate neurons....

Pbs Teachers: Scientific American: The Wonder Pill: Placebo 2
Identify the physiology of how a placebo affects the brain through "ritual expectations." Perform an experiment to explore how the manner in which a ritual is presented may affect the outcome of its success.
