Dear all, I need ideas for teaching the nervous system to grade 9 students . I feel that this topic is boring and full of complicated vocab. They are going to be taking the following topics ( synapse, reflex arc and stimulus , structure of the eye, types of neurons)

Sara, I did a quick search for the nervous system and came up with 14 resources. Here is the link... http://learningcenter.nsta.org/search.aspx?action=quicksearch&text=nervous%20system I think you will find several useful resources in these Learning Center resources. Also, just a word of advise. You mention that you think the nervous system is boring. Just be careful not to transmit this personal view to your students or they will think it is not worth learning if the teacher thinks it is boring too.

Thank you.... I also appreciate your advice, I told them its easy but needs your high concentration as it is stuffed with lots of vocab. words
