The Immune Response 21 Minutes

Subject: Biology

Level: Jnr Primary-Jnr Secondary

Other than swelling at a cut, and maybe some

slight fever, we would be forgiven for not being aware

of the existence of the human immune system. It is

however a highly complex system, and when it is

overwhelmed, things can get a lot more serious. In

this informative and engaging program the

levels of immune defence are explored in isolation

and as part of a disparate yet interconnected system.

High quality animations are used to illustrate the

nature of specific and nonspecific defence

mechanisms deployed by the human immune system.

The role of human intervention in the defence against

disease is also explored.

Chemistry Concepts 1 24 Minutes

Subject: Chemistry


This comprehensive learning resource consists of four

video segments on key chemistry concepts with short

answer and multiple choice questions related to each

video, an interactive periodic table, and a PowerPoint

demonstration. We explore atomic modeling through

history, from the ancient Greeks and Chinese through

to 19th and 20th century models. We examine the

development of the periodic table, from the discovery

and classification of different elements and their

properties to Mendeleyev's system of classifying

chemical elements. We also discuss various bonding

models and the limitations they pose in accurately

explaining and accounting for bonding phenomena.

Designing Fashion 18 Minutes

Subject: Design & Technology

Level: Mid Secondary-Adult

This program investigates the steps taken by fashion

drawing techniques to visually display their

inspirations and ideas, how they use of computer

aided design (CAD) to enhance and support their

work, and finally, the steps involved in sampling,

pattern making and production.
