This video shows how using simple sentences and compound
sentences add variety to a paragraph about brown bears.
Human Regulation: Nervous System: Nerve Function and Reflexes
Professor George Wolfe discusses nerve function and reflexes in human regulation in this video from Thinkwell's online Biology series. The video uses lecture format along with notes and illustrations on a white board. Run time 10:28.
The Immune System: Structure and Function
How do we combat disease and pathogens? Professor George Wolfe discusses structure and function of the immune system in this video from Thinkwell's online Biology series. The video uses lecture format and a white board to aid in the explanation. Run time 09:31.
Inferences: Knowing Text Structure
Video explains what inference is and how students can use inference to be a better reader. Inferences can help you with cause and effect, chronological order, compare and contrast. Using inference skills is used to help figure out the progression of ideas and text structure of a narrative. Video gives a reading and student has to find which inference is used, it then explains why that is the answer. Good quality video for understanding inf
Inferences: Knowing text structure
Use inferencing skills to help figure out the progression of ideas and text structure of a narrative. Inference, cause and effect, chronological order, compare and contrast, and many other skills help a reader to better understand a story. This video is led by an educator, and the thought processes are explained clearly.
The Basics of Biology: Cell Structure Overview
This is a brief, professionally-produced clip from the program Cells: The Structure of Life. This segment, using simple computer animation with 'live' microscopic images, explores the structure of the cell.
Sentence Structure
This presentation discusses independent clauses, simple sentences, compound sentences, coordinating conjunctions, dependent clauses, and complex sentences. Examples help to reinforce the concepts discussed in the lesson.
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.
Urinary Structure
This is a brief (01:10) video using computer animation that discusses the kidneys and how they function.
Endocrine Function: Oscillations in Hormone Levels
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.
Circulatory System Structure
3-D animation shows the basic parts of the systemic circulatory system and how blood cells travel through the system. Grades 4-12. 1:08 min.
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) to illustrate his points. Sal Khan is the recipient of the 2009 Microsoft Tech Award in Education. The screen gets busy (and dark)--the viewer may want to open to 'full screen' to see everything. The sound is a little low. (09:05)
Function Inverse Example 1
Function Inverse Example 1: f(x)= -x+4
This is a continuation of Mr. Khan's Introduction to Function Inverses. Mr. Khan uses the Paint Program (with different colors) to illustrate his points. Sal Khan is the recipient of the 2009 Microsoft Tech Award in Education. The screen gets busy (and dark)--the viewer may want to open to 'full screen' to see everything. The sound is a little low. (06:43)
Function Inverses Example 2
Function Inverse Example 2: f(x)= (x + 2) squared +1
This is a another installment of Mr. Khan's short 4-part series on Function Inverses. Mr. Khan uses the Paint Program (with different colors) to illustrate his points. Sal Khan is the recipient of the 2009 Microsoft Tech Award in Education. The screen gets busy (and dark)--the viewer may want to open to 'full screen' to see everything. The sound is a little low.
