Neural Network Signals
Using a simple circuit with the battery representing the brain, future physiologists test to see which solutions conduct electrical "nerve impulses." Enlighten learners with plentiful information on electric signals in the nervous system...
Curated OER
The Nervous System
Human biology beginners label colorful diagrams of the neuron, the reflex pathway, and the brain. They list steps in the action potential process, and describe several different neurotransmitters. This worksheet guides learners through...

Connect the Neurons!
Create a neuron frenzy as your pupils play the part of the neurons. An engaging lesson creates a human chain of neurons that pass cotton balls posing as neurotransmitters. Scholars learn about pre- and post-synapses as they complete the...
Curated OER
AP: Chapter 48: Nervous System
Human anatomy enthusiasts trace neurological pahtways in word and on a diagram, describe action potential of a nerve impulse, and identify the organs in the nervous system. Provide this to your biology class as a review before...
Curated OER
Nervous System
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...

The Nervous System: Basic Organization and Function
A vintage worksheet on the basic structure and function of the nervous system awaits your beginning biologists. Although it pertains to a textbook chapter reading, the content is relevant to any introductory unit on the nervous system....
Curated OER
Neuron Label
In this neuron worksheet, learners are given a diagram of a neuron with the axon, cell body and dendrites. They label 9 parts of the neuron.
Curated OER
Your Brain At Work
In this brain worksheet, learners describe three jobs of the brain, draw a picture of a neuron and label its parts, and determine what to do to keep the brain healthy. This worksheet has 1 drawing and 2 short answer questions.
Curated OER
The Nervous System
In this nervous system worksheet, 9th graders define each term listed and then label the figure shown pertaining to the nervous system. Then they name three types of neurons and describe the function of each type.
Curated OER
Neuron Anatomy Comparison
High schoolers create a scale model of a motor neuron that is two hundred times larger than the actual neuron. They identify the structures of a neuron and observe neurons under the microscope then use a worksheet to convert actual...
