The Nervous System: The Body’s Smart Message Highway

The biggest win for us was seeing my child become more confident talking about science. She used to hesitate when she did not know an answer; now she is much more willing to say what she thinks and ask what she does not understand. The section on signals, reflexes, senses, and communication between the brain and body was particularly helpful. It has become a useful part of our regular learning time.

One of the nicest things about this resource is that it gave my child a reason to become curious. A topic that seemed abstract at first suddenly had a connection to running, eating, breathing, moving, or using the senses. The section on signals, reflexes, senses, and communication between the brain and body was particularly helpful. We have already gone back to it more than once.

What surprised me most was how quickly my daughter connected the lesson to things she experiences every day. She started making her own examples instead of simply repeating what she had read. The section on signals, reflexes, senses, and communication between the brain and body was particularly helpful. The best part was hearing my child explain it back afterward.
