The Brain and Neuroscience for Middle School

I'll be teaching my 6-8 graders a little bit about how their brain works.  I found some wonderful resources at Kid's Health.  I plan on using this neat "parts of the brain" interactive as well as this short cartoon about the nervous system. 
I think middle-school kiddos are totally ready to learn about themselves, including their anatomy that makes learning possible. 


Kid's Health has lots of other resources related to health, body systems, emotional and mental health issues, and some cool yoga for students.
