In this nervous system worksheet, students review the structure and function of the central nervous system. This worksheet has 1 drawing and 17 fill in the blank statements.

This is a fabulous presentation which should reinforce all aspects of muscle construction on a gross anatomical and micro level. There are slides to help understanding with the muscle fiber anatomy, and many labelled diagrams to...

High schoolers discuss the nervous system and its pathology. They are then able to explain what neural physiology is. They use this game to further help them to develop clear meaning of the nervous system.

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

Student perform an experiment in which they determine the velocity of ion flow in an electrotonic potential and compare it to the velocity of action potentials. They record and analyze their results.
