RESOURCE	GRADE LEVEL	MEDIA TYPE
Blood Vessels Help Tumors Grow In this video segment, adapted from NOVA, Dr. Judah Folkman uses the scientific method to discover how cancer cells induce the formation of new blood vessels, which in turn nourish those cancer cells. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
Can We Slow Aging? In this video segment adapted from NOVA scienceNOW, scientists discuss a family of genes called FOXO that can significantly extend life span in worms—and in humans. Accessibility features: Caption	9-12	Video
The Common Genetic Code Paul Nurse describes his research that showed that humans share some genes with organisms as different from us as simple brewer's yeast. Footage from Secret of Life: "Immortal Thread." Accessibility features: Caption	9-12	Video
The Costs and Benefits of Treating Gene Defects In this video excerpt from NOVA, find out how whole genome sequencing saved the life of Alexis, a fraternal twin who was originally diagnosed with cerebral palsy but, in fact, had an even rarer genetic condition. Accessibility features: Caption	9-12	Video
Crime Scene Investigation This video segment from IdahoPTV's D4K explores the tools and forensic science that crime scene investigators use to collect evidence to help solve crimes, and study animals, archaeology and paleontology. Accessibility features: Caption, Transcript	4-6	Video
The Discovery of Penicillin This video segment adapted from A Science Odyssey tells the story of researcher Sir Alexander Fleming, whose luck and scientific reasoning led to the groundbreaking discovery of penicillin. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
DNA Separation Lab in the Classroom and in Real-World Research This video produced by WGBH features students in the Amgen-Bruce Wallace Biotechnology Lab Program preparing a recombinant DNA molecule, and examines how this work relates to the way real-life scientists approach similar work. Accessibility features: Caption	9-12	Video
Dolphin Reproductive Behavior This video segment from the Science and Technology Chat series focuses on dolphin pregnancy, birth, and care of the young, and features Atlantic bottlenose dolphins living in captivity at the Mirage Resort Dolphin Habitat. Accessibility features: Caption	3-12	Video
Electrophoresis and Gel Analysis In this animation produced by WGBH and Digizyme, Inc., see how molecules of DNA are separated using gel electrophoresis, and how this process enables scientists to compare the molecular variations of two or more DNA samples. Accessibility features: Caption	9-12	Video
Eluting Red Fluorescent Protein From the Column This video produced by WGBH demonstrates how to properly elute a red fluorescent protein after it has been bound in a chromatography column. Accessibility features: Caption	9-12	Video
Endocrine Disruptor Hypothesis Scientists discuss whether or not endocrine disrupting chemicals, which may cause birth defects and other health concerns, should be controlled in the absence of conclusive proof, in this video segment adapted from FRONTLINE: "Fooling with Nature." Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
Epigenetics In this video segment adapted from NOVA scienceNOW, learn how what you eat, drink, or smoke may affect the instructions your epigenomes send to your genes, and as a result, change how your DNA is expressed. Accessibility features: Caption	9-12	Video
Ethanol Biofuel In this video segment adapted from NOVA, learn about one scientist's idea for using biotechnology to make ethanol a more efficient alternative to gasoline. Accessibility features: Caption	9-12	Video
The Ethics of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis In this video excerpt from NOVA, learn about the advantages, disadvantages, and ethical implications of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, or PGD, a technique used to screen embryos created through in vitro fertilization for diseases. Accessibility features: Caption	9-12	Video

From DNA to Protein This narrated animation schematically shows the process of protein synthesis. Adapted from Interactive NOVA: "Secret of Life." Accessibility features: Caption	9-12	Video
From Seed to Flower Watching plants grow is like watching paint dry: It happens so slowly that the changes are imperceptible from one moment to the next -- and yet the end results are dramatic. This video segment shows just how amazing plant development can be by depicting various phases of the process using time-lapse photography. Footage from NOVA: "The Shape of Things."
