Brain Awareness Week
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...
Curated OER
Inside Information
Students explore two pathways for information through the nervous system. The pathways for involuntary action or reflex and voluntary responses are built and related to the element of choice.
Curated OER
Contraction in Action
Young scholars 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...

Making a Brain: Aritifical Neural Network
Students explore how the brain works. For this nervous system lesson, students create a network of "neurons" to simulate how the nervous system and the brain work together.
Curated OER
Signal Transmission in the Nervous System
Students explore signal transmission in the nervous system. They determine the speed of nervous transmission in an integrated nervous system and investigate the differences between signal transmission in a single neuron and in a nervous...

Three is a Toxic Number
Future public health advocates read a case study of a combination of water pollutants that may be linked to autism. The class is split into three groups, one to research each of the suspected chemicals. The look at how each one affects...
National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science
Bad Fish, Bad Bird
In an advanced biology lesson, learners see a PowerPoint about biologist Dr. Westwood, a two-time victim of poisoning. Designed to be used with clickers in the classroom, you could modify the lesson by creating a worksheet from the...

Remember to Stop and Smell the Roses: Olfaction and its Relationship to Memory
Students 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!
Curated OER
The Human Memory
This is a well-designed, creative instructional activity to help students learn more about the human memory. Working in pairs, students complete tasks and gather data. Excellent websites for resources are also provided.
