http://www.brainsrule.com/
The Brains Rule Web site helps students learn about the brain and nervous system. The interactive site can be navigated using the four tabs (Kids, Teachers, Neuroscience Professionals and Partners) at the top of the page. This kid-friendly site will help students learn about the brain and nervous system. The sections for students offers several interactive animated games that help them learn how the brain develops, the anatomy of a neuron, and a virtual tour of the brain. Students can also meet a “Brainwhiz,” sign up to have their questions answered by a neuroscientist, or build their own Web page. Teachers can access a set of lesson plans for grades 3-8 that include background material, vocabulary, science standards, hands-on and Web-based activities, and other resources and links.
