Neuroscience Resources
Here you will find a curated list of free online resources to help you teach neuroscience concepts in the classroom or revise at home. Furthermore, these resources are linked to specific points on your Biology syllabus to assist you in pinpointing exactly where they fit in.
Descriptive Statistics: Dispersion
A power point resource for teachers of biology, geography and environmental science for pupils studying at Advanced Higher, ( AS-Level, and above), and early FE/HE levels. Of use for helping to achieve a basic understanding and application of the ‘spread of data’ in fieldwork, assignments and examination questions. It complements the Guide to Descriptive Statistics in Geosciences. This resource is for Self guided learning for learners and teachers to use in Geography, Biology, Data Science for Advanced Higher.
Fertilisers in food production
Brief project covering both the life cycle of plants and where food comes from. The project involves growing baked beans ingredients and includes different recipes for having a baked bean “bake-off”. This resource contains a class workbook and a practitioner’s guide. This resource is for teachers, parents and carers to use in sciences IDL for Second (P5-P7).
Bees and Biodiversity (including STEM)
Three lessons on the contribution that bees make to our planet on the topics of pollination, bee diversity, and hexagons in the bee hive (STEM activity). This resource is for teachers, parents and carers to use in Sciences/maths for Second (P5-P7).
Introduction to the Brain
This resource contains a workshop with activities about the structure and functions of the brain and what happens when it goes wrong. It also contains short biographies of the two co-authors and details of their academic involvement in psychology. It is intended for learners studying the Scottish National 5 Psychology curriculum. This resource is for teachers to use in Sciences, psychology for Third/Fourth/Senior.
Cardiovascular Disease resource
Teacher and student resource pack covering the effects and causes of cardiovascular disease and medical methods for preventing it. This resource is for teachers/learners to use in Human Biology for Higher.
Astrobiology in the classroom
Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution and distribution of life in the Universe. The lesson plans in this Astrobiology Collection are designed to cover a wide diversity of topics in biology, chemistry and physics that encompass some of the most fascinating questions in science such as: How did life originate? Is there life beyond Earth? Will humans explore and settle other worlds? This resource is for teachers to use in Sciences for Third-Fourth and higher.
