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

Introduces your class to random processes in networks with an activity that uses information about disease spread using the susceptible, infectious, resistant (SIR) model. Participants determine whether a susceptible person becomes...

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.

The brain is not the mind. Scholars explore the claim by reading an informational article about neuroscience research, "Beyond the Brain." As they read, they answer text-dependent questions and complete an anchor chart to evaluate...

Young scholars 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.

Young scholars 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...

Students commonly ask question about vision and color perception which may be difficult to answer without taking. They use this module that contains a list of questions which often arise when biology students are studying the nervous...

Students develop skills and a comfort level in interpreting economic concepts through graphic analysis.

Investigate the brain and it's connections - the number of possible routes along which a brain message might travel - by solving and creating geometric progressions. Conduct an experiment to learn about stimulus and response.
