Grades 7–9
With this interactive Nervous System Kit, go on a journey throughout the entire system composed of billions of cells that make hundreds of billions of connections, without a traffic jam. Students will learn to identify the structures of the brain and the functional areas, discuss memory, and see how illusions can fool our brains.
You will receive access to a digital teacher guide that includes reproducible activity sheets that can be printed for individual students or teams. When paired with your existing science curriculum, these engaging explorations bring a meaningful and exciting dimension to the learning experiences you create for your students.
