===Although this is designed for younger children, there are some good videos and activities that will simplify some advanced concepts for older students. For example, for VCE psychology, there are many good resources to supplement the teaching of key knowledge relating to visual perception, the brain and the nervous system.=== = = =EXAMPLE:= To assist teaching about neurons, BrainPop offers several resources and options, including a video, quiz, activities, FAQ's, an experiment and an FYI section. [|Neuron Resources] = =
 * Video || [[image:video.png width="258" height="171" align="center"]] || Through this video, a neuron is explained in simplistic terms. This is handy for students to get a basic understanding of the concept, which can be built upon in further teaching by you.

The visual representation of its structure and movements assist students to gain a deeper understanding and is excellent for visual learners. ||
 * Questions || [[image:brainpop_activity1.png width="234" height="233" align="center"]] || The structured questions allow students to organise their understandings and summarise the key points they should concentrate on ||
 * Graphic Organiser || [[image:graphic_organiser.png width="299" height="324"]] || The t-chart helps students to build an analogy to assist their learning. By likening a neuron to a concept they already have knowledge of, it helps to assimilate the new information into their long-term memory ||
 * Vocabulary List || [[image:definitions.png width="295" height="289"]] || Requires students to define the key terms they will need to know for this topic. Students may also add additional terms. This can be printed out and kept as reference in their books ||
 * Quiz || [[image:quiz.png width="289" height="208"]] || To test students understanding. ||
 * FAQ's || [[image:faq.png width="317" height="221"]] || Allows students to better understand points they are unclear of, and lets them know that others have trouble with these too ||
 * Experiment || [[image:experiment.png width="313" height="406"]] || Can be used in an annotated folio of practical activities!! ||
 * FYI || [[image:fyi.png width="276" height="230" align="center"]] || Allows students to further suppliment their learning and apply the concept to a real-life example ||
