This video explains the importance of the epidermis in plants, which acts as a protective layer against environmental factors such as injury, water loss, and insect attacks. The epidermis also contains stomata, which allow for gas...

If you were a jackrabbit in the desert, you'd be glad to stumble across a cactus: the flesh of these plants is a water source for many animals. Known for their spines and succulent stems, cacti of all shapes and sizes have evolved to not...

It describes the mechanism of ascent of sap by the theories of root pressure and transpirational pull. It explains the cohesion-tension-transpiration pull model of water transport.

Paul Andersen explains how nutrients and water are transported in plants. He begins with a brief discussion of what nutrients are required by plants and where they get them. He shows you dermal, vascular and ground tissue in monocot...

In this video, we will be looking at sexual reproduction in plants. Did you know that there are an estimated 390,900 plant species known to science? This diversity of plant species is, in part, due to sexual reproduction. In plants,...

This is an educational video that explains the concepts of transpiration and translocation in plants, while also exploring the transport system in plants. The video takes a closer look at the different features of plants, including root...

Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the aerial parts of a plant (so the leaves and stems). By water evaporating out of these parts - mostly the leaves, a suction pressure is created which draws water up through the plant. This...

"Plants have a transport system to move things around.



The xylem moves water and solutes, from the roots to the leaves in a process known as trans

piration.

The phloem moves glucose and amino acids from the...

Plants possess a wide variety of structures that enable them to accomplish amazing things. This engaging series of videos investigates structures common to most plants and describes how these features enable them to survive. Familiar,...

By the end of this learning object, the student will be able to: Discover the transportation of water and .minerals in the plants28764

Hank introduces us to one of the most diverse and important families in the tree of life - the vascular plants. These plants have found tremendous success and the their secret is also their defining trait: conductive tissues that can...

If a plant has enough water, minerals and energy it will grow right? Well sort of… but there is more to it - like why do plants bend towards the light and not just grow straight? And how come the stem grows up but the roots grow down? It...

Upon viewing the Exploring Freshwater Biomes video series, students will be able to do the following: List some of the ways fresh water is used in daily life. Understand how and why fresh water is so important to the lives of humans and...

Plants have developed responses called tropisms. A tropism is a growth in response to a stimulus; so light and water in the plant’s case. There are different types of tropisms: Positive tropisms are when growth is towards the stimulus -...

The cycle of water from the air to the ground to the oceans and back to the air never ends. Water is found in the air, in the ground, in rivers and oceans, and it's found as gas, liquid, and solid. As it moves though phases and locations...

In Water as a Natural Resource we are introduced to words such as habitat, ecosystem, watershed and estuary. Not only do kids learn that water exists everywhere on Earth, but that it is vital for life in plants, animals, and all other...

The video showcases how young students from the Environmental Charter School in Inglewood, California, have developed a water-wise project to irrigate their school garden. The project involves building a portable drip irrigation system...

Water on Earth focuses on water as most kids would think about it. We start with water in obvious locations such as oceans, lakes, and rivers. We quickly learn that water can change phase to remain a solid in glaciers. Many kids may be...

Paul Andersen explains the major plants structures. He starts with a brief discussion of monocot and dicot plants. He then describes the three main tissues in plants; dermal, ground and vascular. He also describes the plant cells...

Upon viewing the Plant Parts video series, students will be able to do the following: Recognize that plants have many parts, and that each part performs specific functions. List many different parts of plants that we eat. Describe the...
