If possible, we encourage you to view this video the evening before the topic is presented in class. This will help you be more familiar with the key vocabulary and may improve your long-term retention of the concepts.

Viewing options:
This video is available in standard definition and high definition (1080) resolution. To view high definition: click on the ⚙️ gear icon (settings) then choose 1080 (the gear icon is on the bottom right corner of the video that is playing). You will then see a small 'HD' beside the gear icon with a red box around it. Depending on your browser and internet connection, it may not be possible to play this in high definition (though if you put the video on pause at the very beginning, it may switch to HD if enough video can be streamed before you begin viewing it).
You may change the play speed by clicking on the ⚙️gear icon (settings) then 'playback speed' then choose a number less than 1 to slow the video down, or a number greater than 1 to speed the video up.

We have manually edited the closed captions, so those in English are correct. Although we cannot guarantee all automated translations will be accurate, we have been very impressed by those generated by YouTube® in parts of languages that we can understand. If a speaker of your chosen language can ensure the translations are acceptable, then you may wish to turn these on for students whose first language is not English.
To save teachers time screening videos, each science video has a 1 minute preview video. You can find those in each subject playlist. The following playlist contains all of the preview videos:    • 1 minute previews of science videos for te...
