Gr 5—9—Featuring animated computer graphics with some live-action footage, the human nervous system is clearly and vividly illustrated. Topics covered include the central and peripheral nervous systems, brain and spinal cord, microanatomy of the nerve cell, receptors, neural plasticity, and neurotoxins and the nervous system. Main concepts are reviewed in a final segment. The video quality is good, the narration is clear and easy-to-understand, and the presentation and visual effects are colorful. The teacher's guide includes pre- and post-tests, activity sheets, and fact sheets. A useful introduction to or review of the topic for middle school classes.—Denise A.
