The spotted salamander is currently the only known photosynthetic vertebrate. A video introduces three animals that are all photosynthetic in their own way. It explains the way they get energy from the sun as well as other quirky traits...

A scientific video describes photosynthesis in both plants and algae through the use of chloroplasts. It also explains the various pigments and types of chlorophyll, light reactions, and the Calvin cycle. 

Seventy percent of the world's oxygen is produced through photosynthesis by phytoplankton, microscopic plants found in the ocean. Viewers learn about the complex process of photosynthesis with a video that covers both the light...

Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but what about free energy? Where does that fit into thermodynamics? In the video, learners explore simple the spontaneous reaction examples of enthalpy, entropy, and temperature, and then apply...

View how autotrophs and heterotrophs use the energy of the sun to form the energy their cells need, ATP. Learners watch an informative video that details the processes of photosynthesis, learning where it occurs, what...

The first life on Earth developed in the oceans. As an introduction to ecology, the video starts with the formation of the earth. It follows with the Archaean and Proterozoic Eons including protobionts, prokaryotes, and eukaryotes. It...

Meet cyanobacteria, the single-celled organism that changed the world by causing the first mass extinction of life forms, gave rise to oxygen breathing life forms, and was responsible for the first Ice Age.

Non-vascular plants, like moss, are able to survive on photosynthesis. A video explains plant structure for both vascular and non-vascular plants. It includes the parts of each plant and adaptations to various environments such as...

No, the Calvin cycle isn't the bicycle Calvin and Hobbes ride. A video describes photosynthesis through cartoon graphics. Using the chemical formula and two reactions, it stresses the importance of chlorophyll and ATP. 

Since plants are the main source for all life on Earth, that would mean there would have to be plants on other planets to support life. This is the focus of a video that explores how plants could exist on planets other than Earth.

How do plants transform the sun's light energy into chemical energy? This is the focus of a video that explains the processes of photosynthesis.

How do we know so much about how plants grow? By conducting experiments and investigations, of course! This is the focus of a video that describes the processes scientists use in order to unveil new information.

How do plants get the nutrients they need? This is the focus of a video that discusses how plants use photosynthesis to survive, with or without dirt.

Being able to absorb the abilities of other life forms may seem like something taken from a superhero movie, but sometimes reality is stranger than fiction. Join the narrator as he takes viewers back billions of...

How do plants get energy to grow and live? Photosynthesis is the answer! Watch this video to learn more about the photosynthesis process.

Here is a cute presentation for middle schoolers on the photosynthesis process. Each required product is named and then the process is viewed in a cartoon cross-section of the leaf. Embed this little video into your own PowerPoint or...

Hear how carbon functions on our earth and the purpose it serves. The carbon cycle is illustrated with narration for your junior high or high school biologists. Global temperature increase is also included, though the clip cuts off...

All of the species in our world are part of what is called a trophic level. Basically, it determines an organism's position in the food chain. Introduce your learners to the basic levels and have them identify more organisms that could...

Plants have unique ways of adapting to droughts. Show your class this video to highlight some of the many adaptations desert plants have adopted over time.

Light dependent reactions are animated in this one-minute video. Embed it into your PowerPoint presentation as a visual aid to what happens within the leaf of a plant. This is most suitable for high school biology.

What chemical reaction occurs in the leaves to produce energy for the plant? View a collection of slides that explain photosynthesis with this biology class podcast. The video clarity is insufficient, and therefore the only use of this...

How do plants get their energy? They capture sunlight and convert it into sugars in their chloroplasts. This is a high school level video that explains the chemical process of photosynthesis. The animations included help bring this...

This collection of animated slides offers an explanation of the photosynthesis process. It must be homemade as the sounds of dishes clanging, a television commercial, and computer mouse clicks are heard in the background. You will need...

The biggest misconception of the process of photosynthesis is presented along with other important aspects of this life-building process. [25:21]
