Subordinate Clauses
Lecture lesson on subordinate clauses, also known as dependent clauses. This lesson shows that they function as if they were nouns, adverbs, or adjectives. Teacher on the clip shows examples of subordinate clauses on a whiteboard.
Anatomy of a Kidney
There is a very brief video with still images of the kidney. This is a quote from the video:
"This cross section of a kidney, almost three times life-size, shows its blood supply and one of the filter tubules, a nephron, highly magnified. The nephron is a highly specialized coiled tubule measuring up to one inch in length. There are more than one million nephrons in each kidney. They function as the kidney's filter units. The kidneys filter unwanted materials from the blood and regulate th
The Function of the Liver
Did you know that the liver is the largest organ in the human body? Learn more in this computer-animated video (04:02) that describes where the liver is in the body and its function. This video has English captions at the bottom of the screen. This may be good for big classrooms where sound may not travel well.

Graphing Quadratic Functions
Instructor uses a white board to demonstrate graphing quadratic functions. Example models taking a quadratic function in standard form, determining if the function opens up or down, finding the axis of symmetry and vertex. The instructor then creates an x/y table and uses those points to complete the graph.
Pre-Calculus: Graphs of Rational Functions
This is an excellent video detailing how to make graphs of the sine and cosine functions. The tutorial details how to use the coordinate plane to make graphs of the function that are easy to read and understand. This is particularly useful for understanding how to use the sine and cosine function. This is an exerpt. (3:40)
