Learners study the brain and how it performs the memory function.  In this brain power lesson students complete a memory activity.

Students explore the human brain and nervous system. In this brain awareness instructional activity, students examine specific terms with regards to the human brain. Students discover the brain's structure and function and how it...

Students develop a deeper understanding of the brain. In this neuro-anatomyl lesson plan, students will use simple diagrams to understand the brain and will progress to more complex diagrams  as they gain understanding.

In this science worksheet, students investigate the anatomy and function of the human brain. Students read facts about the parts of the brain and what each does. Students compare the size of the human brain to that of other animals....

Students investigate and then build neurons in this lesson. They are examined as key parts of the brain and nervous system and seen as different from normal cells.

In this nervous system alphabet book worksheet, students study 26 neuroscience terms as they read the 26 terms and their definitions in the glossary. Some of the terms included are: receptor, unipolar, white matter, axon, hemisphere,...

In this brain word scramble activity, students unscramble 7 sets of letters to form the words: axon, synapse, neuron, dendrite, myelin, soma, and nucleus.

Students 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. Students create a little group rapport.

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'...

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...

Students use eggs, cooking oil, foam balls and more to create a simulation of the brain and record what happens in each step. In this brain lesson plan, students learn about protecting the brain, the brain's ability to learn, and reflexes.

Students determine the relative number of nerve endings located in the skin. By calculating the reciprocal of these measurements, students have the appropriate data for predicting the relative size of the homunculus found on the cerebral...

This is a well-designed, creative lesson plan to help students learn more about the human memory. Working in pairs, students complete tasks and gather data. Excellent websites for resources are also provided.
