Cell Biology: Structure, Function, and Processes Series (4-part series, 20–22 minutes each) They are the basic building blocks of life, but in reality there’s nothing “basic” about cells—the complex, versatile units of matter that make up all life on Earth.
Introduction to Life Science (18:24) Launch a unit on life science with this video! It addresses central topics in biology—evolution, cellular structure, and hierarchical organization, to name only three; explains the process of scientific inquiry; and spotlights the contributions of key researchers in the life sciences, from Aristotle to Watson and Crick.
Life Processes of Plants (17:39) What are these alien life forms living among us? They’re…plants! This video investigates the major differences—and some striking similarities—between plants and animals in the areas of what they consume, how they breathe, and how they reproduce. Plant evolution, cell structure, the photosynthesis/respiration cycle, flowering and nonflowering plants, and sexual and asexual reproduction are covered.
The NewsHour: Human Biology (01:10:57) Genetic and neurological research has led to increasingly sophisticated medical capabilities—resulting in a growing number of moral and ethical quandaries. This cluster of NewsHour segments surveys recent milestones in biology—many of which have produced as much controversy as insight.
Secrets of Bones Series ( 6 Titles) Ben Garrod, primatologist and master skeleton builder, shares his unique passion for bones.
