The Nervous System: Basic Organization and Function

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

A vintage worksheet on the basic structure and function of the nervous system awaits your beginning biologists. Although it pertains to a textbook chapter reading, the content is relevant to any introductory unit on the nervous system. There are matching, multiple choice, and fill-in-the-blank questions included. Perhaps you could apply this as a guide for designing your own worksheet, using the same questions and format, or even assign it to your class as a review before taking an actual unit exam.
