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 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
In algebra, we replace a letter with numbers in the process known as substitution. Given the formula A = 1/2bh, if the base is 5cm and the height is 10cm, then the area is ½ X 5 X 10 because we have replaced the b with 5 and the h with 10. You just need to be be careful with negative numbers: it is
Our body is a pretty fantastic feat of engineering. But how does it work? How do all of the different components come together to keep us alive, keep us functioning and achieving our goals? In this video we are going to look at the levels of organisation in organisms, from smaller than cells to bigg

Reciprocal functions are actually extremely important. Isaac Newton deduced that the forces needed to hold planets in orbits is a reciprocal relationship with the squares of their distances. Radioactive isotopes decay reciprocally, and trees lose their leaves reciprocally. VISIT us at www.fusescho

Respiration is carried out by all living things. Animals need oxygen to carry out aerobic respiration and they need to get rid of the waste product called carbon dioxide. This is called gas exchange. Swapping one gas for another. JOIN our platform at www.fuseschool.org This video is part of 'Ch
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
