This video explains the process of transpiration in plants and how water is absorbed by specialized root hair cells. The video first defines transpiration as the loss of water from the surface of a plant and describes how leaves lose...

Upon viewing the Plant Parts video series, students will be able to do the following: Recognize that plants have many parts, and that each part performs specific functions. List many different parts of plants that we eat. Describe the...

The video explains the process of transpiration in plants, which is the loss of water vapor from a plant through evaporation from the surfaces of the plant, mainly the lower surfaces of leaves. The video also explains the role of...

Somewhere around 470 million years ago, something happened that shouldn’t have been particularly striking. An algae found its way onto land. This algae turned the lands of this earth green, altered the chemistry of our atmosphere, and...

What research is being conducted currently? How does it work? If successful, how can it help society? What careers deal with science and water?<br/>
Properties Of Water, Part 5

The video is an educational presentation describing the different tissues that make up a leaf, and how they work together to produce and store glucose. The speaker discusses the structure and function of each tissue, including the...

We learned about photosynthesis over in the biochemistry series. But now that we are taking a closer look at plants, we need to learn about the different types of photosynthesis that exist within the plant kingdom. The version we learned...

This video explains the importance of the epidermis in plants, which acts as a protective layer against environmental factors such as injury, water loss, and insect attacks. The epidermis also contains stomata, which allow for gas...

Xylem: Upward Water Movement in Plants: This clip explains the role of xylem in the upward movement of water in plants.

What are the unique properties of water? What are the freezing and boiling points of water? Properties Of Water, Part 2

Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the aerial parts of a plant (so the leaves and stems). By water evaporating out of these parts - mostly the leaves, a suction pressure is created which draws water up through the plant. This...

Why is desalinated water important? How can graphene help with desalination?<br/>
Properties Of Water, Part 4

Plant Structure and Function Set: 1. This clip examines the stomata of leaves. It discusses their structure, how they work and the important role stomata play in regulating the exchange of gases and water between the plant and...

This live-action video program is about the word transpiration. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word transpiration through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and...

This nugget describes the structure of stomata, types of stomata, transpiration and factors affecting rate of transpiration.

What are the characteristics of water? Explain the water cycle?<br/>
Properties Of Water, Part 1

We just learned about plant cells, so now it's time to learn about how these different types of cells come together to form all the different tissues in the plant. There is ground tissue, dermal tissue, and vascular tissue. What do they...

Students will learn how the structures of plants such as roots, stems, and leaves enable them to live and grow. Real-life applications show how these plant structures are useful sources of food, building materials and medicine. Other...
