This is more than pure neuroscience. There are all sorts of options for looking at general physiology, scientific processes, etc. Save this site for sure. If I were back in the classroom, I would go crazy in the "store" section. Or rather, I would compel my supervisor to "go crazy" in that store. Such a well done set of resources as well...

Ideas for endothermic reactions- no activities, but chemical reactions we can use before students design their devices to absorb thermal energy.

Simple lesson to review simple machines. It's tagged for 3rd - 5th grade, but could work for a quick review. It has a card sort activity ready to go. The agricultural examples might not be 100% relevant to all kids, but still useful.

Diffusion in a baggie- an alternative to the gummy bear lab. You will need cheap baggies, corn starch, and iodine. This can be done in one day, or split into two days. Also, a link to the teacher's notes.
