This is a 4.1 minute HD dramatic video choreographed to powerful music, which introduces the viewer to the Theory of Evolution. It is designed as a "trailer" to be shown by Biology and Ecology teachers in High School as a visual "Introduction" to the... topic of how species change and evolve over time. Great hook to get students interested. (04:12)

This video clip, set to music, was designed (by a teacher) for use in a classroom by Biology and Ecology teachers as an introduction to a lesson on plants and/or photosynthesis. (02:28) This is a good way to introduce/hook students on the science con...cepts of plant life and plant structure.

The episode reflects not only the confidence and abilities of one good student but also the entire attitude ofHigh Tech High. The San Diego charter school exists to prepare students -- all kinds of students -- to be savvy, creative, quick-thinking ad...ults and professionals in a modern world. It has scrapped a lot of what's arbitrary and outdated about traditional schooling -- classroom design, divisions between subjects, independence (read: isolation) from the community, and assessments that only one teacher ever sees. (Watch a series of videos about High Tech High.)Instead, the textbook-free school fosters personalized project learning with pervasive connections to the community. Any visitor can see the evidence in the students' engagement and the eye-popping projects that adorn almost every corner and wall -- many of which the teens have exhibited to local businesspeople, not just teachers. As the school's name implies, technology enables many of the projects students create. And teachers routinely craft lessons that blend subjects, reflecting how interwoven they truly are. (2:58)

This video is a fairly simple narration of the parts and function of a flower, together with suggestions for student activities. The video addresses the petals, pistil, stigma, style ovary, stamen, anther, filament, pollen, and sepal.
(2:35)
While... this video successfully addresses the structure of the flower, its dialogue is aimed more toward teachers, and suggests a few ideas for activities to do with their students.

There are life processes that are so much a part of our experience that it’s easy to take them for granted. Reproduction is one of these processes. It seems quite simple: life cycles result in offspring that resemble their parents. The life cycle pat...terns of different life forms vary, but the outcome is always the same – the continuity of life is ensured from generation to generation.

Our Earth hosts an astonishing diversity of life forms. We can find plants, animals, and other types of organisms in almost every habitat that we encounter. Session 2 focuses on how life’s diversity arises from variation on these same unifying featur...es. A closer look at cells, in particular, introduces fundamental differences among life forms that have become one basis for biological classification.

Which life forms reproduce at a distance, give rise to offspring miles away and even after death, trick other living things into helping them reproduce, and encourage predators to eat their young as part of their life cycle? Plants! During Session 4,... we’ll continue our study of life cycles by focusing on the Plant kingdom, using flowering plants as our examples. During this session, you’ll have a chance to see how different the life cycles of plants are from animals – as well as how similar.

How is it that life always seems to find a way? Changes – both large and small – are ever-present in the environment that surrounds life. But despite sometimes extreme challenges to survival, life forms persist from generation to generation. In the l...ast two sessions, we focused on life cycles and their connection to DNA, and we began to look at life at the level of populations.

Our final session looks at life at one of the highest levels of organization: the ecosystem. Shifting from Session 7’s focus on energy, Session 8 explores matter and its connection to life.
