Learners identify structures of the brain, and neurons and analyze their functions.  In this nervous system lesson students create drawings and models of anatomy.

Students will develop models of neurons to understand the function of myelin as it applies to the normal and abnormal transmission of nerve impulses. In addition, the students will also have the opportunity to apply their knowledge...

Middle schoolers investigate and then build neurons in this lesson plan. They are examined as key parts of the brain and nervous system and seen as different from normal cells.

Learners develop a deeper understanding of the brain. In this neuro-anatomyl lesson plan, students will use simple diagrams to understand the brain and will progress to more complex diagrams  as they gain understanding.

Fascinate young life scientists by showing them how their brain learns. By using prism goggles while attempting to toss bean bags at a target, lab partners change their outlook on the world around them, producing amusing results....

Students identify the different parts of the nervous system. In this biology lesson, students research methods to diagnose and cure neurological disorders. They present their report to class.

Young scholars gather (research) information on neuron structure and action potential. Students are guided to make inferences about the synapse and its relationship to neurotransmitter release and action. They are also guided to make...

Students are put in groups of 6 to 8, and they are given 20-30 minutes to write, design, direct, and block out (determine location and movement) a skit that illustrates the function of a sarcomere, and all the steps involved in its...

Students explore neurological societal problems. They research, collect information and assess the ramifications of ethical, economic, political, and social issues. During a talk show simulation, students present their decisions.

Students use eggs, cooking oil, foam balls and more to create a simulation of the brain and record what happens in each step. For this brain lesson plan, students learn about protecting the brain, the brain's ability to learn, and reflexes.

Learners study the process of detection, coordination and response. In this biology lesson, students design an experiment to test stimuli response. They participate in a game-show style quiz after the activity.
