Resources for Teaching Neuroscience in UK Secondary Schools

The Society for Neuroscience’s Core Concepts offer fundamental principles that one should know about the brain and nervous system, the most complex living structure known in the universe. Over the past year, the British Neuroscience Association has mapped these concepts to every UK Biology syllabus at GCSE and A-Level. In this webinar, we explain how to utilize these maps and teaching resources to assist you in the classroom. See all the materials produced to help teachers in the UK bring neuroscience into their classrooms here.
