Backyard Brains provides the solution: affordable, easy-to-use neuroscience kits that bring human physiology to life. Each experiment directly reinforces A&P topics and meets HAPS Learning Outcomes for anatomy and physiology . You get plug-and-play labs developed by neuroscientists and educators, so you can confidently integrate them knowing they cover required curriculum content. Say goodbye to abstract theory – and hello to students recording their own muscle signals, brain waves, and heart rhythms in real time.

• Designed for A&P Courses: Backyard Brains tools are “perfect for teachers who want to include neuroscience in their … Anatomy & Physiology … courses” . Every experiment maps onto a standard A&P unit (nervous system, muscular system, etc.), adding a dynamic lab that complements your existing lessons.
• HAPS Standards Alignment: The experiments align with HAPS-endorsed topics like neurophysiology and muscle physiology, enhancing core concepts you already teach . A recent study even confirmed that eight key labs (ECG, EMG, EEG, EOG) from Backyard Brains fully meet HAPS standards , so you can enrich your course and check off learning objectives simultaneously.
• Hands-On Learning Impact: By engaging students in active experimentation, you address HAPS’s emphasis on experiential learning. The HAPS committee suggests using kinesthetic demos to boost understanding of neural signals – exactly what Backyard Brains labs provide. Students don’t just memorize physiology; they experience it, which research shows leads to better retention and enthusiasm.
