The Nervous System: Part 1

Explore the anatomy, physiology, and overall function of the sensory nervous system with this life science worksheet! Designed for middle school learners, this three-page worksheet takes students on a fascinating journey through the nervous system. As they read, students will investigate the organization and function of the nervous system, including the three different types of neurons and their roles in transmitting messages throughout the human body. Then, students will use the information from the text to answer several critical thinking questions. Young scientists will be asked to identify the major components of the nervous system, explain the roles and functions of each of the components, and describe the path of a nervous impulse when an organism is exposed to a particular stimulus.
