Synaptic Potential

In this synaptic transmission worksheet, students determine how information is transmitted from one neuron to the next plus describe the function of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. This worksheet has 12 fill in the blank and 4...

Ever wondered how different drugs affect the brain? Allow your class to explore this through an interactive role play. Pupils act out neuron communication by playing the roles of neurotransmitters, pre- and post-synaptic receptors, and...

In this biology worksheet, students examine the passage of biochemical signals across the synapse to the receiving the dendrite.

In this biology worksheet, students examine the biochemistry of transmitting signals across the neuron to another receiving dendrite.

In this biology worksheet, students focus upon the passage of ions through the cellular membrane and how they interact in the environment.

Many of the concepts that are mentioned as an aside in previous videos are re-introduced here. By listening to Salman's recap of an action potential, students will understand how a nerve impulse can stimulate the release of...

How do neurons that don't touch each other share information? Observe electrical activity traveling from neurons and learn what it takes to trigger action potential. A video discusses recent research manipulating neurons, how responses...

Scientists have yet to find the limit on the human brain's capacity for memory storage, so the potential is limitless!  An animated video demonstrates how the brain places information in short-term memory. Viewers observe the importance...

Young scholars roleplay to review nerve communication and the parts of the neuron. Each student represents a different part of a neuron and as parts become polarized and depolarized they act it out. A surprise occurs at the synaptic...

Three pages containing 51 true and false questions make up this nervous system review. The major topics listed at the top of the test mention a film strip and a laboratory activity, but the questions appear to be answerable without...
