Description
Nervous System Color by Number, Reading Passage and Text Marking
This Nervous System Color by Number and Text Marking activity is the perfect way to bring life to the topic! Students read a non-fiction passage and search for answers while marking evidence from the text. Perfect reading comprehension activity.
Topics include: Interesting facts about the nervous system, brain, cerebrum, etc.
Students complete a “before reading” anticipation guide, read about the Nervous System, answers questions, mark the text for evidence, color the picture according to their answer, and complete the “after reading” anticipation guide.
This is a great cross curriculum activity that also practices Language Arts skills and citing evidence. You can use this activity to assess prior knowledge. You can use this activity as a unit review. Lastly, you could use the student worksheet as a quiz or formative and then let them color as a reward! You choose what works best for you.
This is a fun, colorful activity that allows students to show mastery while relaxing, learning and coloring in their answers. This is also perfect for emergency sub plans! Hang the finished product in the hall for teachers and students to stop and admire.

This resource was not what I expected it to be.
Austin B. –
This activity can be used to review with students who are into the arts.
Angela C. –
I used this resource as part of a review for our body systems unit. It was a good review and a bit of a brain break also for students.
Darlene R. –
There was inaccurate information in this resource that needs to be corrected. It stated that the brain was 18 inches long. If that includes the spinal cord, it would be more accurate. The brain stem is 2-3 inches long.
The Unplanned Planner –
I like color by number assignments. It gives the students a little bit of a brain break while still learning. For anatomy I do a lot of projects and coloring to make a hard subject seem a little more obtainable for the kids.
