Guess where the oldest rocks on Earth are found? And what do these rocks reveal about the age of the earth?   Viewers of this short video analyze the age of the earth and explore the origin of life through geologic,...

Male northern elephant seals grow to be 13 feet in length and can weigh up to 4,500 pounds. In the video, scholars explore genetic drift in a population through a simulation. The instructor shows allele frequencies changing over time,...

Scientists give evolution two opposable thumbs up! In the video, scholars explore coevolution through the analysis of a few different examples. The instructor then explains and shows what coevolution is and is not to eliminate confusion...

Scholars explore how life on Earth formed more than 3.8 billion years ago through natural processes, from monomers to more complex organisms such as cells and then life. Viewers see the Miller-Urey experiment and how it...

One millionth of mouthwash is equal to one micro-SCOPE. This conversion video walks scholars through the factor-label method, or dimensional analysis, step by step. It shows sample problems and builds up to more complex problems, from...

An informative video begins by showing scholars how chromosomes are like encyclopedias. The instructor then explains and differentiates genome, chromosome, sister chromatids, nucleosomes, DNA, genes, and base pairs. 

Who is DNA and why does everyone think she has all the answers? A video instructor explains and shows pupils the structure of DNA and its major parts. Nitrogenous bases, phosphates, backbones, 3 prime and 5 prime, and nucleotides...

AAG-CCT-GAA: Can somebody translate this for me? A video demonstrates how transcribing and translating DNA is similar to reading a cookbook to make a meal. Scholars walk through the steps of transcription, converting genes to...

Budding scientists learn about signal transmission, exploring intercellular and intracellular chemical movements. The instructor shows how epinephrine signals other chemicals in the body and can cause our DNA to express different...

What is a gene pool? What do gene pools have to do with the Hardy-Weinberg formula? How was this formula derived? After viewing a video that introduces these concepts, young scientists determine p and q values and then work sample...

Scholars explore revolutionary relationships among organisms through phylogenetics. Using cladograms, or an evolutionary tree, the narrator shows viewers how organisms are created through morphological (analysis of number of heart...

If some genes were exposed to microwaves, would that cause microevolution? In the video, scholars learn about microevolution or any change in the allele frequency of a population. The instructor explains the five ways microevolution...

An engaging video explores plate tectonics, from the evidence to support the theory to their movement. The analysis of the location of worldwide earthquakes shows scholars where major tectonic plates meet. The instructor...

Ever wonder why most calico cats are female? An engaging video explores the inactivation of one of the x-chromosomes in female cats, allowing for calico coloration. 

The majority of cancers, 90-95%, are caused by environmental factors; the remaining 5-10% are due to inherited genes. Scholars explore mutations and their outcomes and see how mutations can occur spontaneously or be induced. The video...

Explore the bacteria at Yellowstone to introduce molecular biology. Scholars learn about the process of genetic engineering and how it has progressed over time, including the identification of the breast cancer genes and the main...

One human's entire DNA sequence would take up three gigabytes of storage space. Pupils explore the experiment performed by Meselson-Stahl, which proved DNA copied itself through a semi-conservative process. The instructor explains their...

Young scientists explore Gregor Mendel's work on pea plants, his laws of segregation and independent assortment. They work through genetic problems and then finish by looking at Huntington's disease and genetic testing. 

Learn how genetic variation occurs within prokaryotes through transformation, transduction, and conjugation. The instructor then explains how sexual reproduction in eukaryotes can lead to crossing over, random assortment, and random...

Scholars analyze Morgan's fruit fly lab to learn how genes are linked. The instructor shows that the data from a dihybrid cross was not what Morgan expected, and when re-crossed numerous times, the data did not change. Viewers see gene...

Scholars learn how to use a Punnett square analyzing red hair and then apply this process to an entire gene pool over time. The instructor walks viewers through a few problems, determining percentages found within a gene pool. 

Dark, curly, non-red, and thick hair are all dominant genes. The video begins by defining phenotype, genes, alleles, and genotype. Scholars learn how alleles determine genotype, which directs phenotype, using red hair as the example. The...

Complete heterochromia is a mutation that causes a person to have two different colored eyes. Class members explore how genotypes affect phenotypes. The instructor shows how changes in DNA can occur via mistakes in replication,...

Did you know that arctic hare have black eyelashes that protect their eyes from the sun? Scholars learn how genotypes are either expressed or not, based on environmental factors. The narrator explores how the Himalayan rabbit, the...
