Neuroscience

Investigate how your brain works.

Model the brain and neurons, explore EEG patterns, test reaction times, measure muscles’ electrical signals, and dissect a sheep brain.

Learn about brain anatomy, neuron structure, action potentials, nerve fibers, brainwaves, sensory systems, and neurodegenerative diseases.


Students participate in hands-on experiments that connect biology, psychology, and physiology. With collaborative activities and engaging discussions, students build confidence as they explore the science of the nervous system.

Families receive photos and videos capturing students’ lab activities, models, and final presentations. Students leave with a stronger understanding of neuroscience, increased scientific confidence, and a deeper curiosity about the brain and the mind.
