In this brain word scramble activity, students unscramble 10 sets of letters to form the words: hemisphere, lobe, cortex, gyrus, skull, neuron, brain, dura, fiber, and sulcus.

Students 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...

In this word search worksheet, students locate words related to pharmacology. The word list includes imipramine, reactions, multiple, and therapy.

In this biology worksheet, students learn about cells and their various parts. They first read a page and a half of facts about cells and then answer the 10 questions in the packet. The answers are on the last page.

In this ethyl alcohol activity, students read about the characteristics of ethanol including the effects it has on the body when ingested and digested. This activity has 2 short answer questions.

Students build on knowledge of brain and nervous system in order to write about how their nervous systems help them cope with change in environment. Students navigate online sites to explore different parts of brain and nervous system.

In this brain word scramble activity, students unscramble 10 sets of letters to form the words: hemisphere, lobe, cortex, gyrus, skull, neuron, brain, dura, fiber, and sulcus. A word bank is included.

In this pharmacology worksheet, students compare excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters and how these work on the body. This worksheet has 3 drawings and 13 fill in the blank questions.

Students work together to complete an experiment over binary sources. They determine values for the orbital period of certain objects and interpret intensity changes. They also calculate a value for the period of precession of an...

Students experiment to explain how reflexes, nerve impulses travel to the brain.

Students investigate the nervous system and how physical distractions influence mental performance. They work in pairs as a researcher and subject and memorize a series of words with no distractions. After repeating the list of words,...

Students observe cytoplasmic streaming in Nitella cells. They examine the conduction of a wave of depolarization across other membranes, such as the axons of neurons. Students predict the effects of sending a small electric current...
