The Nervous System Unit

Studying the nervous system allows students to understand how their bodies process information, respond to their environment and control essential functions like movement, thought, and emotions. By learning about the nervous system, students gain insight into how their brains and nerves work together to regulate everything from simple reflexes to complex decision-making. This knowledge is foundational for understanding human behavior, health, and the science behind how we think, learn, and interact with the world.  The nomenclature cards found within this pack introduce the child to the following terms: The Nervous System Brain Cerebrum Frontal Lobe Temporal Lobe Pituitary Gland Medulla Hypothalamus Pons Parietal Lobe Occipital Lobe Midbrain Cerebellum Synapse Spinal Cord Neuron Contents Pg. 2: Suggested Instructions for Use and Book Suggestions Pg. 3: Non-Fiction Question Stems Pgs. 4-6: The Nervous System KWL Worksheets Pgs. 7-15: The Nervous System 3-Part Cards Pgs. 16-19: The Ner
