The brain is complex, but extremely fascinating. We need more people interested in studying the brain because 1 in 5 people are likely to develop a neurological disorder... and there are no cures!

Empower Students with Hands-On Neuroscience Experiments

EMPOWER NOW

Teacher demonstrating neuroscience experiment using Backyard Brains classroom kit

Neuroscience is no longer just for college labs—now, high school and middle school students can engage in real scientific inquiry with interactive experiments designed for the classroom. Our neuroscience education kits align with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Advanced Placement (AP) frameworks, making them a seamless fit for Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, Psychology, Engineering, and AP Courses.

CURRICULUM STANDARDS

FOR

HIGH SCHOOLS & AP SCIENCE TEACHERS

Bring the cutting-edge of brain science into your AP Biology, AP Psychology, or Human Anatomy & Physiology classrooms with real-time neural experiments.

Our affordable, research-grade tools let students record real neuron activity, explore reaction times, and even control movement using bioelectric signals.

WHAT NEUROSCIENCE ADDS TO YOUR CURRICULUM:

Download our curriculum guide to see how our experiments map to national science standards.

AP Biology

Record real action potentials from a living neuron and tie them to membrane potential, ion channels, and cell signaling.

AP Psychology

Measure your own reaction time, reflexes, and EEG alpha waves to make the biological bases of behavior hands-on.

Anatomy & Physiology

Record EMG and ECG to explore motor units, recruitment, muscle fatigue, and reflex arcs with real data.

Engineering

Turn muscle signals into control signals... build neuroprosthetics and micro:bit projects with Spiker:bit.

FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS & STEM COORDINATORS

Are you looking to enhance STEM education across an entire school district? Our neuroscience lab packages allow schools to equip multiple classrooms with engaging, hands-on neuroscience kits—designed to spark curiosity and prepare students for careers in STEM fields. Schools can also participate in student-led neuroscience research programs, contributing to real scientific discoveries.
