Biosphere Cycles – Senior
This video examines the workings of the Earth’s biosphere. It discusses how the one way flow of energy from the sun underpins the continual recycling of molecules between living & non-living states. Featured in the video are key nutrient cycles including carbon/oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorous, the research of Jean-Baptiste van Helmont, discussion on how human practices are impacting on nutrient cycles, an examination of how living things decompose. Time-lapse sequences of decomposing organic matter, and a case study of the workings of a major coffee farm and how it’s proprietors attempt to manage production thanks to their improved understanding of cycles in the biosphere.

Carbon Cycles and Cycles
Our animated atoms have been prevailed upon to make another appearance. At the “Club Chlorophyll”, carbon atoms set off on their various carbon cycles. Topics examined include glucose, starch, cellulose, coal, oil, limestone, and photosynthesis. At the end students should be able to write their own carbon cycle stories.

Cell Division
This video unravels the mystery of cell division using clear and simple animations, together with exceptional micro photographic images of cell division occurring in animal and plant cells. Topics explored include mitosis, meiosis, cytokinesis, morphogenesis, and embryogenesis.
-
Bonding Part 2
Illustrates inter and intra molecular bond strengths with the newly discovered biscuit/cookie bond analogy. Topics covered include bond strengths, dipole-dipole attractions, polar covalent, intermolecular hydrogen bond, how helium liquefies, hydrogen bonds in water, and metallic bonding in gold and silver.

Managing A Coastal Ecosystem
Built around a case study of Towra Point Nature and Marine Reserve in Botany Bay, New South Wales, the video highlight; location and change over time; an examination of the biophysical environment; the challenges of managing a significant nature reserve, including endangered species management, feral animal management and the management of the region’s dynamic and ever-changing landforms.
Towra Point Nature Reserve is the summer home to endangered migratory bird species. It also protects ever diminishing coastal rainforest habitat.
