The study of finches led to the development of one of the most important scientific theories of all time. In December 1831 a naturalist called Charles Darwin boarded the HMS Beagle, bound on a surveying voyage of South America. Whilst the ship and crew carried out coastline surveys, Darwin was fre
An ecosystem can be defined as a large, highly interconnected area of the planet that is composed of several different biotic and abiotic components. A good example of an ecosystem would be an entire forest or mountain range. JOIN our platform at www.fuseschool.org These videos can be used in a f
In nature, all organisms compete with each other for resources in order to survive. Competition between members of the same species is what makes organisms evolve. This theory of competition and ‘survival of the fittest’ is called Natural Selection, and was originally proposed by Charles Darwin i
The way we grow and develop in the womb is controlled by our DNA. Small sections of DNA, called genes, carry the code telling the body how to build itself. Usually this works fine, but sometimes those genes carry mistakes in their code. These mistakes, known as mutations, may have no effect, they ma
Fossils discovered within rocks led scientists to begin to change their ideas on the creation of life on earth. JOIN our platform at www.fuseschool.org This video is part of 'Chemistry for All' - a Chemistry Education project by our Charity Fuse Foundation - the organisation behind FuseSchool. The

Biodiversity is a key concept in ecology and has importance on both local and global scales. Biodiversity is the degree of variation of life, or put more simply, the number of different individuals and lifeforms in an area. Scientists usually measure biodiversity on either the genetic, species, or

In this video we look at a few keys words that you will come across throughout ecology. An ecosystem is made up of all of the communities that live in it, every single organism from small to big and lots of environmental factors like sunlight and shade in the woodland, streams and other things. It
What is 'innate behaviour'? Where does it feature in the environment? And how does it compare to 'learned behaviour? Innate behaviour is instinctive; it is determined by our nervous system and does not involve conscious decision. It is often inflexible, such as a reflex response to a stimulus. We
