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
In algebra we have lots of different names for different things: expressions, equations, formulae and identities are all slightly different versions of similar things. Then within these, we have variables, constants, coefficients and exponents to describe the different parts. We also need to know wh
How many Emojis have you used today? Why do we love them so much? What do you think the fastest growing language in the world is? You might be surprised. We explain what emojis are, where their name comes from, and why they're so popular across the globe. Author: Tom Ashford Sources: https://en.w
Learn the basics about balancing equations, as a part of chemical calculations. The law of conservation of mass states that no atoms are lost or made during a chemical reaction. There are different ways of arranging the atoms. Chemical reactions are about rearranging atoms. Chemical reactions can
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
Watch the final part of the 'using moles' videos, to complete your understanding of the chemical calculations topic. 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 The Fuse S
In this video we are going to look at rearranging straight line equations to find the gradient and y-intercept. Straight lines follow the equation y=mx+c, where the m is the gradient and the c is the y-intercept. But straight line equations aren’t always written out in this nice form. Sometimes we h

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
In the nucleus of each eukaryotic cell, the DNA is packaged together into chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA that is tightly coiled around proteins that give it the structure. Chromosomes usually occur in pairs, except for gametes (eggs and sperm cells) but the number of chromosomes
Misty Copeland has been an inspiration in the ballet world, encouraging ballerinas to pursue their dance dreams regardless of their body types, race and ethnicities. This video briefly explains the subject of diversity in ballet and how Misty Copeland has helped re-shape the dance world. Author: Re
Learn the basics about the ionic bonding of calcium chloride, lithium fluoride and potassium oxide, as a part of the overall properties of matter topic. An ionic bond is defined as the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. In this video, we will learn about ionic bonding in lit
