The TED video is a feature of Sam who has Progeria, a genetic disorder that causes children to take on appearances of old age. This would be a great video to show biology students during your unit on genetics. Also, it would be great just to show a class how somebody with health issues can still be successful and happy.
Here is a quick tribute to Rosalind Franklin the lady scientist who helped discover the double-helix shape of DNA.
If you are just getting ready to teach a lesson on DNA, you might want to use this video to introduce the concept. It does a good job explaining what DNA is and how small or large it is.
This "Stated Clearly" video discusses what genes actually are. This video does an excellent job breaking down and demonstrating what genes actually are. It also talks about how genes are used to produce hardy vegetables and other applications humans have developed.. Vocabulary used are: Nucleotides, Proteins, Hemoglobin, Pepsin, Keratin, Insulin
This animated "Clearly Stated" video does a great job describing and showing what DNA actually is. It goes furth discussing how the RNA leaves the nucleus and enters a ribosome in order to create proteins. Vocabulary used are: Amino Acids, DNA, Proteins, Cells, Tissue, Organs, Organism, Nucleus, and RNA.
This short animation explains how DNA can get a mismatch mutation and how the body repairs such an error.
This video clearly states what gene mutations are. The Amoeba Sisters discuss Sickle Cell Anemia, gene mutations, DNA transfer, meiosis, environmental factors, substitution, insertion, and deletion.
This Study Jam video discusses animal adaptations and how animals use them for protection. Natural Selection, traits, inherited behavior, migration, hibernation, playing dead are all discussed in this video.
This video on evolution discusses the different lines of evidence that support the theory of evolution. The discussion is around: comparative anatomy, embryology, the fossil record, DNA comparisons, Species Distribution, and some observations.
This educational video explains the five main parts of evolution in simple, easy-to-understand terms. The video covers population effects, non-random mating, mutations, gene flow, and adaptations. Each concept is explained clearly, with examples to help students understand how these factors contribute to the process of evolution. By the end of the video, students will have a basic understanding of how these five parts work together to shape the evolution of species over time. Whether you're a student or just interested in learning more about evolution, this video is a great resource.
