What is Life?

Collector: Ann V.
Reviewed by Lesson Planet
Publisher
Lesson Planet Curated

A Nature League series of five videos, hosted by Brit Garner of the SciShow, make up a collection that models how scientists conduct investigations. The first video addresses the definition of life, it's characteristics, and the importance of carbon-based life. In the second video, viewers take a field trip to Missoula, Montana, to see some of the state's important geographical and biological features. Learning how to read and understand a scholarly article about The Krebs Cycle is the focus of the fourth video. The final video considers how a researcher's philosophic leanings influence research findings. This collection is a great way to introduce future scientists to the world of research.
