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.

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...

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 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 different intelligences. In this brain health lesson, students work through several activities to help them identify the type of intelligence they have. Students will focus on understanding their personal strengths and...

Students examine the brain. In this anatomy instructional activity, students engage in 2 activities that allow them to explore how to protect and optimize their brain health.

Learners identify parts of the brain and what each part does. In this brain anatomy lesson, students participate in activities that focus on the job of each part of the brain co connect the task to the brain section. Learners make a...

Students identify general abilities that indicate animal cognitive intelligence. In this biology instructional activity, students create an intelligence testing challenge for ravens. They compare its ability to that of a crow.

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 investigate the nervous system.  In this anatomy lesson plan, students identify and define vocabulary related to the nervous system. Students role play the parts of a nervous system and perform an experiment measuring and...

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

Students record observations and create drawings and models of anatomy using their five senses. They describe the structures of a neuron and analyze each of their functions. They compare and contrast the typical structural features of a...

Pupils explore the brain. In this science instructional activity, students view a diagram of the brain and discuss the various regions of the brain. Pupils discuss the importance of protecting the brain and design a protective covering.

Fifth graders identify and describe the functions of the major body systems. They discover how to maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition and exercise. They answer comprehension questions to end the instructional activity.

Students model a sarcomere's action, they gain a kinesthetic and visual understanding of muscle contraction. They use this exercise stimulates the production of myosin and actin. Students use two colors of clay, make a "sandwich" of...

Learners explore vocal anatomy. For this biology/music lesson, students first learn vocabulary associated with the voice and body. They then use straws, microphones and recorders to differentiate between high and low pitches and...

Students investigate the definition of memory.  In this memory lesson students investigate strategies to improve memory as well as examine what the difference is between a short-term memory and a long-term memory. 

Students review information on a website which shows different types of spiders. They sort images of spiders from other insects. They create their own spider out of materials and share them with their classmates.

Students research the structures and functions of the eye. In small groups they dissect a model of the human eye, identify structures of the eye, and describe the functions of the photoreceptors.

Students create a scale model of a motor neuron that is two hundred times larger than the actual neuron. They identify the structures of a neuron and observe neurons under the microscope then use a worksheet to convert actual sizes into...

Young scholars analyze different regions of the brain which are responsible for different aspects of cognition, awareness and regulating the body's process.

Students model the plasticity of neural pathways for memory in the brain. They simulate the cell activity according to dots on cards that they are given. They complete various simulations of different cell combinations.
