Lesson 2: B10.2 Nervous system
Based on the Kerboodle Resources
The AQA Kerboodle worksheet are not included so as to be acting within the TES code of conduct.
Keywords: CNS, Sensory neurone, Motor neurone, Effectors, Receptors
A carefully designed** revision poster **of the key concepts studied in the human nervous system to include;
Comparison of CNS and PNS
Labelled diagrams of motor, sensory and inter neurons
Function of motor, sensory and inter neurons
Detailed explanation of transmission of a neuron with graph illustrating threshold, depolarisation, depolarisation, refractory period and resting state
Transmission of impulse at synaptic cleft
Labels and function of the spinal cord
Pathway of a reflex action
Labels and functions of different parts of the brain
Causes, symptoms, preventions and treatments of neurological disorders (MND, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s).
A selection of past exam questions with mark scheme/answers also included.
This resource******* can be edited ********to your liking, reflecting what students need to know for your examination board.
This resource helps students understand the** importance of ‘chunking’ **their revision; breaking down large scientific concepts into smaller manageable ones to help with memorising.
This is a booklet and accompanying Power Point, designed for the WJEC A level specification, but could be adapted to fit other A level courses. It covers everything required in the specification and has lots of past exam questions with answers. Can be used as a teaching resources or can be provided as an additional resource for students to use for revision / independent learning.
Visually appealing worksheets pack for GCSE Biology students on the nervous system. Perfect for use when teaching the topic and also for revision purposes. The worksheets could even be used as a progress test on these topic areas. The worksheets should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete and pupils will be able to work independently through the activities.
There is a worksheet on each of the following topics:
Neurones
Reflex actions
Synapses
There is also an answer sheet for the teacher, which is great for non-specialists teaching Biology in schools.
As a suggestion the place mat could be laminated and pupils could complete the activities with OHP pens. The laminated sheets could then be cleaned for future use with other pupils. Otherwise the place mat could be laminated after completion by pupils and used for display purposes in the classroom or for revision.

Nervous System Flashcards : This set of nervous system flashcards is great for reviewing the nervous system, identifying nervous system parts, and general nervous system terminology. This product contains 3 sets of flashcards with over 120 individual flashcards. The cards are designed to be folded, laminated, and cut. All sets can be mixed and matched, and copies can be made for extra sets depending on your needs. They are also a good size so they are easy to keep track of. The first set contains 29 flashcards consisting of general review questions that go with my nervous system unit. The second set contains 28 nervous system identification flashcards. The third set contains 72 nervous system vocabulary flashcards.
Some of the vocabulary includes: neuron, neuroglia, central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, afferent, efferent, somatic, autonomic, dendrite, axon, synapse, neurotransmitter, sensory neuron, motor neuron, interneuron, resting potential, depolarization, repolarization, action potential, threshold, refractory period, neurotoxin, dorsal root, ventral root, spinal meninges, cranial meninges, meningitis, dura mater, arachnoid mater, pia mater, cerebrospinal fluid, cervical plexus, brachial plexus, reflex, pons, brainstem, medulla oblongata, cerebellum, hypothalamus, cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, occipital lobe, and more!
This can be used in an Anatomy/Physiology class and can also be used in Biology or Life Science. Great for any level student from English Learner - EL - to more advanced students. I use these flashcards as a review and it is a great way to get the students using academic vocabulary which is an important part of the Common Core standards. It is also a good way to get English Learners to expand their vocabulary. If you like this product please check back soon as we will be posting more in the near future. If you have any questions or concerns about any part of one of our products please let us know and we will be happy to work with you. Thank you!
