Crossing the Synaptic Gap
Source Institutions
In this neuroscience activity, learners conduct a simulation to demonstrate how multiple incoming signals influence the action of neurons.
Baroreceptor Reflex Role Play
Source Institutions
In this activity about the baroreceptor reflex (BR) arc (page 123 of the PDF), learners discover the importance of maintaining adequate arterial blood pressure through a role playing exercise.
DNA Detective
Source Institutions
This activity is about collecting and analyzing DNA as part of a criminal investigation.
The Game of Life: Stem Cell Edition
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a game that models what happens as stem cells differentiate into different cell types.
Coral, Carbon Dioxide and Calcification
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.
Target Recognition and Synapse Formation During Development
Source Institutions
In this activity about neuron/target muscle recognition (page 44 of the PDF), learners arranged in two rows facing away from each other use string to simulate neural development.
Digestive System: A Kinesthetic Lesson
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners act out each digestive function of the organs, tissues, and cells in the digestive tract.
