Biologic and Paleontologic Online Videos

In the past week or so, I have been fortunate enough to learn about some very useful and informative biologic/paleontologic online videos, which I wanted to let you know about. In my opinion as a former teacher for many decades, both series of videos are worthy of your interest and attention if you are a teacher or a student.

I cannot link them directly because Google no longer supports that option on their format for blogs. But, they can be easily accessed by typing in a few words on your search-engine browser.

The FIRST SOURCE has 30+ teaching/learning videos about topics dealing with Biodiversity (e.g., An explanation of what DNA is all about; How climate change affects biodiversity; etc). The videos are informative and easy to follow.

Google: California Academy biodiversity course

This course is available through the Academy’s YouTube channel.

The SECOND SOURCE has colorful, high-tech videos depicting the evolution of the animal kingdom on earth (e.g., The 3-D anatomy of the chambered pearly Nautilus; etc.).

If that does not work, the full URL for the Nautilus animation is:
