Assemble a brain and identify which brain functions are responsible in real-life scenarios
Reflex challenge to explore how quickly the brain communicates with the body
Split brain case study—umm, hello wild story about what happens when the hemispheres don’t work together
Experiment with exercise and how blood flow affects memory and brain function, gets students MOVING
Build a neuron coloring activity to learn the parts and function of a neuron

Clear teacher instructions (low prep—just print, cut, and go!)
A student worksheet to take to each station
Station instructions

This resource is best for grades 6–10. It’s not a deep-dive biology or anatomy lesson—it's designed for health class, focusing on how our body systems work together. Check out the preview to get a better feel for the activity!
