Sheep Brain Lab

Who doesn't love a day at the zoo? Use an observation and inference lab to get young anatomists to recognize similarities between mammalian species based on brain structures. You provide the brains; this lesson provides set-up...

Bored with frog and earthworm dissections? Had your fill of fetal pigs? Anatomy students will be intrigued by the sheep's brain, and you will be prepared with guiding questions, extension activities, and pictures as they dissect one —...

This is your brain on drugs ... literally! Your neuroscientists-in-training examine the evidence of drug use on the human brain and how neurons change their connectivity when altered by drugs. They then work together to create testing...

The human brain is staggeringly complex, and its structure can seem impossible to grasp. This user-friendly app allows for exploration of the brain's anatomy, providing nomenclature, 3-D mapping, and functions. 

Carl Sagan explains his evolutionary development of the brain, focusing on the cerebral cortex. What the cerebral cortex is capable of and what it performs are highlighted. This video could be used in a psychology or science classroom to...

The brain is a complex organ with many different structures and functions. An interactive diagram allows learners to explore the different structures while pop-ups describe their functions. Secondary interactives show the structures of...

Students identify the  basic function of the lobes in the brain.  For this memory lesson students complete a lab activity on how fast they can react. 

Look through this online pamphlet to find brain exercises as well as explanations of how the brain works. Very complete and fun to read.

Drugs interact with the brain to alter moods, emotions, and behaviors by changing the brain's chemistry, perceptions, and interactions. The final lesson in the Pharmacology unit shows scholars experiments, has them complete four labs,...

This lesson will identify, and differentiate the lobes and hemispheres of the cerebral cortex.
