Description
 
 
This website is inviting to the science enthusiast of any age who wants to learn more about the nervous system. The home page opens up to the 12 sections that are full of information, articles, activities, games, lessons and software for the kids, but also the parents and teachers. There is an extensive directory of resources that include annotated sites for the brain and nervous system. Other areas include kid's games (word searches, bingo, songs, jokes, coloring pages, etc.) and activities/experiments (testing reflexes for right-handed vs. left-handed people, differences in age, and differences in gender). Parents, teachers, and students have one area to find online and offline books and articles about the nervous system and another area to find kits, specimens, charts, and software. Students can go to "Neuroscience in the News" to stay current on new discoveries in brain research and sign up to receive the free "Neuroscience for Kids Newsletter."
