Protozoa Classification
Protozoa: a now obsolete term that referred to colorless protists and included flagellates, ciliates, amoebae and sporozoa. The protozoa were all thought to be single celled eukaryotes. The concept was popular for much of the 20th century, but it has become clear that some are relatives of animals and fungi, others have closer relationships with algae than with other protozoa, and that protozoa are not closely related. The term has largely fallen into disuse. This interactive webpage gives clear
Kidney Function
'The 'kidneys are a bean shaped, fist size organ whose task is to filter blood and remove the waste.' This is a quote from the video. The information is related in a 'dry' way but the content is usable. The instructor appears to be using slideshow.

Professor George Wolfe discusses oscillations in hormone levels in this video from Thinkwell's online Biology series. The video uses lecture format along with notes and illustrations on a board. Run time 09:39.
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.
Note: There is a little static as the narrator appears to be too close to the microphone while speaking. Also, in the summary the word 'learned' is spelled incorrec
Introduction to Function Inverses
Introduction to Function Inverses. Mr. Khan uses the Paint Program (with different colors)Â to illustrate his points. Sal Khan is the recipient of the 2009Â Microsoft Tech Award in Education.

The Fungi Classification
A fungus is a member of the kingdom Fungi . The fungi are heterotrophic organisms possessing a chitinous cell wall. The majority of species grow as multicellular filaments called hyphae forming a mycelium; some fungal species also grow as single cells. This interactive web page gives you pictures of specific examples of the fungi classification, along with writen details for most. No run time.
