Reinforce the neural connections in the brains of your young biologists with a simple anatomy worksheet. Looking at the provided diagram of a neuron, students are asked to correctly identify and describe the function of...

Multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, short answer, and matching questions are all here in a multi-page worksheet or quiz. While the formatting leaves a little to be desired, it would take just a few minutes to change the handout into a...

In this biology worksheet, students examine the internal functions of the human body while considering the factors needed to explain the physiological reactions.

Students research the nervous system. Demonstrations on how to pick up keyed information in text is shown daily and weekly. Reviewed for content is Nerve Impulse, Polarization and Depolarization and perception. A spreadsheet will graph...

Students investigate the changes in escape behavior in Madagascar Hissing Cockroahes when their sensory apparatus is removed. They use puffs of air at differnt angles to simulate a predator's approach then collect and analyze data on...

Students will develop models of neurons to understand the function of myelin as it applies to the normal and abnormal transmission of nerve impulses. In addition, the students will also have the opportunity to apply their knowledge...

In this nervous tissue worksheet, pupils 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...

Students investigate the biology of ADHD and its implications upon the formation and treatment of the disease. They draw and label the parts of a neuron. Also, they describe the neurotransmission cycle. Students create a list of pros and...

Students examine how depth perception works through a class experiment. They design and perform their own experiment that investigates visual illusions.

Students 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 flake'...

Students, working independently and in groups, apply the distance formula to practical situations. After solving various problems, students in pairs design coordinate planes from the school blue print to measure the distance from the...

For this brain cells worksheet, students learn about neurons. Students read about the different types of neurons and their life span. Students also study the neuron diagram and glial cells.

In this neuron worksheet, 7th graders study the definitions for the neuron and then label the neuron diagram with the terms.

In this endocrine system instructional activity, students review the structure and function of the hypothalamus and pituitary glands. This instructional activity has 20 fill in the blank statements.

Students identify the different parts of the nervous system. In this biology lesson plan, students research methods to diagnose and cure neurological disorders. They present their report to class.

Quiz yourself with questions about action potentials and myelin sheaths.

Nervous system messages are sent as electrical signals along the length of axons and dissolved salts are important for electrical signaling in cells. In this activity students are introduced to this concept by creating an electrical...

Wikipedia offers an overall description of neurons. This site describes their physical appearance, the different parts of neurons, and what their functions are.

Site delves into what neurons are and what they do. Also contains colorful illustrations of neurons.

Explains how neurons work during the formation and transmission of brain signals.

This video explores how nerves, neurons, and nerve receptors work in the human body and how they communicate by electrical impulses. [5:00] Followed by a short quiz and a list of additional resources to explore.

This online biology book chapter offers definitions and descriptions of the nervous system's components.

This interesting lesson plans uses giant neutron puzzles, the game of telephone, and dance to explain how transmitters and receptors work in neurotransmission.

In this activity, students design and build neuron models based on observations made while viewing neurons through a microscope.
