Neural Control of Walking and Running
Physical therapists state that relearning how to walk often motivates stroke and brain injury patients. Researchers spend a great deal of time focused on understanding the neural control required for walking. They pass along that...
Curated OER
Brain Watching
High schoolers identify the different parts of the nervous system. In this biology lesson, students research methods to diagnose and cure neurological disorders. They present their report to class.
Curated OER
Nervous System
In this nervous system worksheet, students identify and locate each of the vocabulary terms related to the nervous system in the word search. There are 15 biology terms to locate in the puzzle.
Curated OER
Ion Flow in Neurons
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.
Curated OER
How Alzheimer's Affects the Brain
Students study how Alzheimer's affects different parts of the brain, sketch a healthy neuron and its parts, and diagram brain changes during the early and late stages of Alzheimer's.
Curated OER
Signal Transmission in the Nervous System
Young scholars determine the speed of nervous transmission in an integrated nervous system. Students understand the differences between signal transmission in a single neuron and in a nervous system. Young scholars create a little group...
Curated OER
Hierarchical Organization in Biology: Students Presentations of Neurobiology
High schoolers gather (research) information on neuron structure and action potential. Students are guided to make inferences about the synapse and its relationship to neurotransmitter release and action. They are also guided to make...

Brain Word Scramble
In this brain word scramble worksheet, students unscramble 10 sets of letters to form the words: hemisphere, lobe, cortex, gyrus, skull, neuron, brain, dura, fiber, and sulcus.
Curated OER
Brain Anatomy
Students explore the brain. In this brain anatomy activity, students explore the brain, identify the parts and neurons. They identify nerve pathways involved in daily activities.
Curated OER
Toilets and Neurons
High schoolers explore the concept of action potential and its effects on voltage-gated channels. Students compare and contrast a flushing toilet to an action. They examine its effects on the population of voltage-gated channels.
Curated OER
Nervous Tissue
In this nervous tissue worksheet, students list and describe the functions of the nervous system and its two principle parts. Then they list and give the function and location of the six types of glial cells. Students also describe two...
Curated OER
Teaching Neuroanatomy through Schematic Diagrams
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...
Curated OER
Lifecycle of a Star
In this space science worksheet, students complete each statement with the correct word or phrase that related to the life-cycle of a star. Then they list the correct order of a stars life cycle. Students also define supernova and pulsar.
Curated OER
Brain Word Scramble
In this brain word scramble worksheet, students unscramble 10 sets of letters to form the words: hemisphere, lobe, cortex, gyrus, skull, neuron, brain, dura, fiber, and sulcus. A word bank is included.
Curated OER
The Atom Board-Making Atoms
In this making atoms science worksheet, students read about the atomic number of protons, finding the number of neurons, and how electrons function before they complete the atom board graphic organizer and respond to 4 short answer...
Curated OER
Brain Awareness Week
Students explore the brain. In this science lesson plan, 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...
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
High schoolers 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...
Curated OER
Making a Brain: Aritifical Neural Network
Students explore how the brain works. In this nervous system activity, 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...
Curated OER
Generation of Action Potentials in Nitella Giant Algal Cells
Students observe cytoplasmic streaming in Nitella cells. They examine the conduction of a wave of depolarization across other membranes, such as the axons of neurons. Students predict the effects of sending a small electric current...
Curated OER
Muscles and Motor Locomotion
This is a fabulous presentation which should reinforce all aspects of muscle construction on a gross anatomical and micro level. There are slides to help understanding with the muscle fiber anatomy, and many labelled diagrams to explain...
Discovery Education
Sonar & Echolocation
A well-designed, comprehensive, and attractive slide show supports direct instruction on how sonar and echolocation work. Contained within the slides are links to interactive websites and instructions for using apps on a mobile device to...
Curated OER
Nervous System
After reading through this presentation about nerve impulses, students should be able to complete the sentences given with the correct terms and scientific vocabulary. The basics of the ion channel behavior are detailed along with a...
