Three pages containing 51 true and false questions make up this nervous system review. The major topics listed at the top of the test mention a film strip and a laboratory activity, but the questions appear to be answerable without...
Curated OER
The Action Potential
In this biology worksheet, students examine the internal functions of the human body while considering the factors needed to explain the physiological reactions.
Curated OER
Synaptic Transmission Worksheet
In this synaptic transmission activity, students determine how information is transmitted from one neuron to the next plus describe the function of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. This activity has 12 fill in the blank and 4 short...
Curated OER
Action Potential: A Student Project
High schoolers demonstrate their knowledge of action potential by creating an analogy and explaining this analogy to the class. They illustrate the action potential on paper by creating an analogy to demonstrate action potential and...
Curated OER
Toilets and Neurons
Students explore the concept of action potential and its effects on voltage-gated channels. Students compare and contrast a flushing toilet to an action. They examine its effects on the population of voltage-gated channels.
