4 Great Science Videos - What is Evolution? DNA? Natural Selection? A Gene? | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
DNA is easier to understand than you might think. Watch this short 5 min cartoon to learn how DNA works.
Beth Dichter's insight:

Do you teach science? Check out these four animations from StatedClearly.

* What is Evolution? This animation looks at the basics of evolution.

* What is DNA and how does it work? This short (5 minutes) animation discusses how DNA works.

* What exactly is a gene? This animations not only answers the question in the title but also at what a gene looks like, what it codes, and a basic look at Genetically Modified Organisms.

* What is Natural Selection? Before discussing natural selection this video also explains descent with modification and common descent.

More videos are in the works. If you teach science you may want to bookmark this site.

Six fantastic videos for science teachers explaining complex scientific concepts in fun, accessible ways. Perfect for the classroom.
Beth Dichter's insight:

The folks at Fractus Learning have taken a look at videos available at Open Culture and selected six to share (although many more are available). The choices here include:

* The Rap Guide to Evolution
