- Neuroscience for Kids has so much information!
Where do I start and
how do I find information?
First, you have to decide what you need. Are you looking for experiments
to do? Are you working on a paper or report?
To find information on a particular topic, you can search the entire
Neuroscience for Kids site using the search
engine. Just type in a word or phrase and the search engine will find
the pages with the word or phrase.
The site has been divided into several main parts on the Table of Contents. If you want to browse specific
neuroscience topics, go to Explore the Nervous
System. Experiments and Activities are
found on a separate page.
- What should I do for a science fair project?
You will have to decide on a project yourself. However, ideas
and basic tools for a science fair project can be found on the Experiments and Activities page. There is also a page
called Successful Science Fair Projects that
should help you with your project.
- I am a 6th grade science teacher and would like
to do some class
experiments on the nervous system. Do you have anything I can
use?
Yes! There are many experiments, demonstrations, activities and
worksheets on the site. Start with the Experiments and Activities page. There are also inquiry-based experiments complete with student and
teacher guides.
- What if I can't find the answer to my question

an answer.
