With a couple of neat diagrams on student handouts, your life science or health class will examine the contents and serving sizes of healthy foods. They dissect a slice of pizza and scrutinize the nutritional value of its components in...

Using a simple circuit with the battery representing the brain, future physiologists test to see which solutions conduct electrical "nerve impulses." Enlighten learners with plentiful information on electric signals in the nervous system...

Did you know it's possible to train your brain to work better? Learners use brain games to try to do just that. The games test vision and memory and give them the opportunity to improve their scores. The lesson works as an in-class...

Do you want to learn about how you learn? Help pupils become the best learners they can be by teaching them how their brain works. The resources available include videos about brain structure and a study guide full of activities that...

Students explore biology by completing a human body worksheet. In this human brain lesson, students identify the different anatomy within the brain and the functions those pieces form. Students read an article about signals in the brain...

Students experience how the brain adapts over time to changes in what they perceive. In this human perception instructional activity, students wear special prism goggles that initially disorient the user. Over time, the student is able...

Students investigate the brain as the organ that regulates all of their physical, emotional, and cognitive responses. Some of the components of mental illness are examined inn this instructional activity.

Students understand how the brain functions and how they can promote a healthy lifestyle.  In this health instructional activity students complete several activities including investigating how stimulates affect the brain.

Students identify the  basic function of the lobes in the brain.  In this memory lesson students complete a lab activity on how fast they can react. 

Your taste buds may be saying Pepsi, but your brain is saying Coke! By analyzing experimental research, learners discover ways in which our brains impact decision making. They conclude with a discussion of neuromarketing and how it...

Students study the brain and how it performs the memory function.  In this brain power activity students complete a memory activity.

Young scholars investigate the brain through multiple senses. In this biology lesson, students experiment with different activities involving taste, memory, touch, and sight to understand how the brain works. Young scholars work in...

Students explore human anatomy by completing a list of activities over five days. For this brain science lessons, students examine images of brains and identify the different parts. Students complete an in-class quiz regarding brain...

High schoolers research previous attempts by scientists to discover the ways in which the brain works, design and conduct an experiment to illustrate current research and present their findings to the class.

Don't let your brain play tricks on you! Learners test brain reaction rates while it is receiving multiple stimuli. They time each other reading a set of color words written in different colors and again when they are written in black....

Students study the brain and examine what the functions of the major functions are.  In this investigative lesson students dissect a sheep's brain and note the similarities and differences between it and a humans brain. 

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

Students explore the brain. In this science lesson, students create a model of the brain and discuss steps taken in order to protect the brain. Students design a container that would protect the brain from injury. Students discuss the...

Students explore the senses of different animals. In this biology lesson plan students will study the animals selected for their grades. The students will learn about the brain and how the senses of that animal have developed.

Students draw a poster of a lateral view of the brain in order to label the different lobes of the brain. They examine what causes some people to be more musically intelligent than others. They dissect a cow's brain and label the...

Twelfth graders are introduced to the four lobes of the brain and their functions. As a class, they participate in a discussion about an article they read earlier. They answer comprehension questions as a way to review the material.

Students condense information and create a summary paragraph on a video segment. In this brain activity lesson, students watch a video that chronicles an experiment in how the brain responds when making moral...

Students explore various animal brains. In this animal anatomy lesson, students compare and contrast animal brains with the brain of a human. They record several characteristics in a data table for each brain they observe.

Students explore human anatomy by completing a quiz. In this brain lesson, students read assigned text which discusses the different elements of the human brain and how they are used in everyday experiences. Students answer a multiple...
