Classification of Life
Kids Prefer Cheese Over Fried Green Spinach is one way to remember the classification system in order. In the video, scholars learn the classification system for all organisms on Earth. They listen to a brief history of taxonomy,...

Cell Division
It is hard to believe a 300-foot-tall Redwood tree began as a single cell hundreds of years ago. How did it grow so large? Observe how different kinds of cells (bacteria, sex cells, and eukaryotic cells) reproduce or make more cells...

Cellular Organelles
Despite their microscopic size, eukaryotic cells are probably one of the most complex systems ever! Explore the structure and function of the major organelles of eukaryotic cells — the nucleus, ER, ribosomes, golgi complex, lysosomes,...

Cell Cycle, Mitosis and Meiosis
If a cell is unable to regulate the cell cycle, wild cell growth may occur, leading to cancer. Learners explore the cell cycle, using mitosis and meiosis to create new cells. Learners walk, simply, through each phase of the cell cycle:...

Essential Characteristics of Life are Conserved
Humans' entire DNA sequence would fill two hundred 1,000-page telephone books. In the video, the instructor discusses the essential characteristics of all life - genetic code, the central dogma, and shared metabolic pathways. Scholars...

Nervous System
The average adult human brain contains 100 billion neurons. In the video, scholars learn about brain lateralization and how different portions of our brain do different things. Learners then explore neurons, learning their parts and how...

Cellular Specialization
Embryonic stems cells were only first discovered in 1998 — less than 20 years ago. The video explains what stem cells are (both pluripotent and totipotent), how they become specific types of tissues cells via internal cues such as the...

Immune System
Flu vaccines work by calling on the immune system to produce antibodies against the virus without actually infecting the individual with the flu. Here class members see how a virus enters cells and the body defends itself. The...

Homeostasis Hugs
Penguins, seals, and whales have countercurrent heat exchangers to limit blood flow in certain areas of their body, limiting their rate of heat loss to their environment. In this homeostasis video, the instructor explains that...
