“Plants Can’t Move!”
Oh yes they can, and here are some nice timelapse clips to demonstrate.
Thanks to bogstandardcomp from the TES Boards for the heads up.
Indiana University’s Department of Biology have a good set of Quicktime tropisms on their site – worth a look for all kins of tropisms.
Genetic Engineering: Glowing Pigs and Fish
I’ve no idea where this clip was taken from, but it’s a good 5-minute warmer for the topic of GM and it’s possibilities and potential pitfalls.
Sports Science Series
From Fox, but don’t let that put you off. YouTube has plenty of clips from this series, which takes a high-tech look at different action sports (bowling, darts and snooker are not among them).
These clips come from an episode about Human Flight:
1. Freerunners
2.
More videos after the jump, including a big-hit competition.

Oxford Scientific Videos – another great big archive of good clips
Some great short clips here, and a searchable database. Clips can be saved by right-clicking on the ‘download’ button below each frame. Have a hunt about – plenty to see.
Thanks to fannafanna from the TES Boards for posting the link.
New Scientist Vodcasts
Vodcast? It’s like a podcast, but with video – hence the ‘Vod’.
NewScientist.com have their own channel on YouTube (which I just discovered) and a weekly roundup on Fridays.
A couple of minutes of Science news – with pictures – on Fridays?
Sounds like a good idea for those review lessons.
To get us started, here’s this week’s episode:
Some Cell Cycle Silliness
Very silly – but could be used to lighten a dull lesson or start a discussion on what’s missing. Thanks to greathat from the TES Boards for posting the links.
1. Mitosis Song with hi-tech video:
“Please baby, no television – I just wanna talk about cell division…”
Two meiosis videos after the jump.
Evolution resources from pbs.org
Thanks to bogstandardcomp from the TES Boards for this link. A collection of short films about evolution, breaking it down into discussion-point chunks. Quicktime or RealPlayer videos, but content is protected and can’t be saved – if you decide you like it though, you can buy the set on DVD.
Screaming Jellybaby
There are loads of these on the internet.
In this one, a bunch of halfwits fire bits of the reaction all over the show.
Dehydration of Sugar – and scores of other Chemistry videos
This YouTube clip has been taken from the very comprehensive collection of chemistry videos available at Prentice Hall’s “General Chemistry: Principles and Modern Approaches” instructor resource library. Free to view, well organised and all clips are Quicktime (So can be saved by right-clicking on the link on the menu page).
This is from Section 14: Solutions and their Chemical Properties.
Belyaev’s Foxes: Genetics in Action
This clip from NOVA neatly explains how Belyaev bred tame foxes – and also worked out where the markings of modern dogs may have come from.
