Lessons: Laboratory
Our Neuroscience Concepts and Activities pages can aid you in your curriculum planning. They are organized by grade level:
The scaffolding of these concepts does not follow any particular published set of standards. They come from Dr. Janet Dubinsky's experience in the BrainU, Brain Awareness Week, and Brain Bee programs. Some text was taken from the Neuroscience Core Concepts, Society for Neuroscience www.brainfacts.org/About-Neuroscience/Core-Concepts.
