Brain Science Bundle: Biological Bases of Behavior for AP Psychology or Science

Brain science lessons: Add these bite-sized lessons to your neuroscience study materials. These engaging resources are more fun to read than a textbook. They're great for high school brain science units, health classes, and study skills classes.

Brain Function Localization: The Phineas Gage Story

This lesson tells the story of the man with a great big hole in his head; how it affected his thinking, personality and behavior. His story opened up the field of "Brain Function Localization": What we know about the different parts of the brain being responsible for different functions. Includes review questions and answer key.

Brain Science: The Homunculus

This lesson explains how sensory and motor functions are organized in the brain, and why certain areas of the brain are proportionally bigger or smaller than others. Includes review questions and answer key.

Sleep Stages, Cycles, and Deprivation

This lesson tells the story of a radio DJ named Peter Tripp who stayed awake for eight full days - to see what would happen. Students learn about sleep stages and cycles, and what happens when you are sleep deprived. Includes review questions and answer key.

Rewiring the Brain: Neuroplasticity

This lesson harnesses the science behind the growth mindset. Students learn the structure of neurons, and how they communicate. "Rewiring" is explained as skill strengthening of often-used neural pathways, while skill weakening when pathways are left unused. Encourages practice, homework and good self-care as well. Includes review questions and answer key. Plus growth mindset coloring pages!

How Memories are Stored: What One Man's Disability Taught us About Memory

This lesson explores the relevant brain structures in forming memories, the state model of memory, plus the story of Henry Molaison, whose surgery left him in a permanent state of "now".

Brain Science: Nutrition

This resource discusses the macronutrients (fats, carbohydrates and protein) and touches on vitamins, minerals, and water and what they do for brain health. Links to webpage for the reading and includes multiple choice questions and answer key.

Brain Science: Physical Activity

This addresses the physical affects on the brain when we exercise, and when we don't. There is some overlap with the neuroplasticity pack within this bundle, but goes further into detail about brain parts and neurochemicals. Also links to my webpage for the reading and includes multiple choice questions and answer key.

Executive Functioning and Learning

This lesson includes a link to web article and covers: attention, self-awareness, working memory, self-regulation, organization, decision-making, planning. Includes multiple choice review questions, crossword puzzle and word search.
