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...

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...

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 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.

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 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.

Our bodies have some amazing capabilities, but there are some limitations. Explore the limitations of the human eye through the eighth lab activity in a series of 12 biology lessons. Individuals measure their own peripheral vision...

Every moment, the systems in your body are working together to keep you breathing, standing, and thinking. Elementary schoolers explore the human body and its systems with an impressive, 15-page lesson plan that should leave your...

Music has been said to effect short term memory. Learners test out this hypothesis, graphing how knowledge retention in a biology classroom changes when music is played in the background. In the end, a better appreciation of the dynamics...

Think, question, brainstorm, and make your way through a newsletter full of puzzles and word problems. The resource includes 10 different newsletters, all with interesting problems, to give class members an out-of-the box...

Embark on a year long investigation of the seasons with this 10-lesson earth science unit. After being introduced to different types of weather and the tools used to measure it, young scientists perform fun hands-on activities that...

Students explore reflexes. In this biology lesson plan, students discover the basic facts about the reflex systems of the brain as they take part in hands-on activities.

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...

Second graders identify the different function and parts of the ear. For this physics lesson, 2nd graders explain how we hear sound. They read about the life of Helen Keller and respond to questions that follow.

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 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 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 investigate the density of touch receptors in various parts of the body. They discover how the body senses various stimuli, then maps a picture of the "homunculus" of the experimental subject.

Fifth graders explore the brain and what is needs. In this biology lesson plan, 5th graders will work on a series of activities that will allow them to learn about the brain, its parts, and the best foods to eat for their brain.

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 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 discover the function of the brain. In this biology lesson, students participate in several experiments to demonstrate what part of the brain controls their movements. An example of an experiment is drawing with their dominant...
