This video from NASA describes the GLAST satellite, which is equipped with a gamma-ray telescope, and shares some background about the kinds of extreme universal phenomena indicated by the presence of gamma rays.
This video segment from Swift: Eyes through Time introduces and explains theories of the origin of gamma-ray bursts. [4:11]
In this video segment from Garden Insects, learn about six varieties of spiders that live in one garden. [2:40]
Properties of gases can be modeled using some relatively simple equations, which we can relate to the behavior of individual gas molecules. We will learn about the ideal gas law, vapor pressure, partial pressure, and the Maxwell Boltzmann distribution.
Khan Academy learning modules include a Community space where users can ask questions and seek help from community members. Educators should consult with their Technology administrators to determine the use of Khan Academy learning modules in their classroom. Please review materials from external sites before sharing with students.
Learn how mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss figured out how to sum up any arithmetic sequence without having to add up each and every term. This video focuses on using your critical thinking to follow along as Gauss determines his formula for adding series of numbers and gives you the formula so you can test it on other number series.

With all the frustration you might have endured coping with dead batteries, it might surprise you how easy it is to make one out of household materials. Try out this activity, and it might just charge up your imagination.
In this animation produced by WGBH and Digizyme, Inc., see how bacterial plasmids are engineered to clone or express genes that code for proteins such as human insulin.
This group of pages comprehensively covers the topic of cloning. There is an interactive section about how it's done, some history of cloning technology, important issues in cloning, and even an interactive quiz.
This slideshow explains the process of how a neuron communicates.
Part of a site on genetics, this page explores DNA as a forensic science. Explains how and why DNA can be used to convict or acquit a criminal from wrongdoing using forensic DNA analysis. Teacher resources too.
Videos, interactive activities, and articles explaining the influences that cause parts of the genome to be turned on and off. Learn how nutrition, behavior, stress and other factors determine gene expression.
A detailed explanation, accompanied by labeled illustrations and real-time movies, showing how vesicles move molecules around, both inside and outside a cell.
Get it all straight! The "Tour of the Basics" will help clarify the basic principals of genetics science from DNA, genes, chromosomes, proteins, heredity, and traits.
