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...

Create a neuron frenzy as your pupils play the part of the neurons. An engaging lesson creates a human chain of neurons that pass cotton balls posing as neurotransmitters. Scholars learn about pre- and post-synapses as they complete...

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

Learners 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...

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

Students examine neurons. In this nervous system lesson, students build models of neurons in order to study their parts and functions.  

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 investigate the mechanics of an fMRI and the properties of neurons. In this biology lesson, students analyze the way the brain works by performing tests in the neurons in the brain. This is all done theoretically.

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 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 study the characteristics that an elderly person may develop in their life.  In this brain changes lesson students evaluate activity status to determine if changes need to be made to promote a healthy brain later in...

Young scholars name objects that are the same size, shape, and weight as the human brain. They touch the model brain, feeling the folds, etc. They make connections to the chart displaying the brain-like objects. They touch the 'potato...

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

Young scholars discover that olfaction elicits memory associations. They investigate how olfaction compares to other sensory modalities in the formation of memories. This is a hands-on lab activity guaranteed to build memories in your...

Students determine the relative number of nerve endings located in the skin. By calculating the reciprocal of these measurements, students have the appropriate data for predicting the relative size of the homunculus found on the cerebral...

Don't lose your marbles — you'll need them for a lesson on neurotransmission. Young scholars build a neurotransmission model using marbles, beads, rubber bands, string, and other elements. After studying specific neurotransmitters,...

Student perform an experiment in which they determine the velocity of ion flow in an electrotonic potential and compare it to the velocity of action potentials. They record and analyze their results.

Students identify the parts and function of a neuron. They explain and illustrate the levels and functions of the nervous system including neurons and the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems. They analyze and diagram the Lobes and...

Students experiment to explain how reflexes, nerve impulses travel to the brain.
