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
Not every triangle is a right-angle triangle, so we can't always use Pythagoras and SOHCAHTOA to find missing sides and missing angles. We instead use the sine rule or the cosine rule. They can both be used to find either missing sides or missing angles in any triangle (right angle or not). Click h
Learn the basics about the covalent bonding of water, when learning about covalent bonding within properties of matter. 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 Fus

Completing the square is another way of solving quadratics (as well as by factorising and by using the quadratic formula). Completing the square will always work, whatever the quadratic (whereas factorising does not always work). Completing the square also helps us when sketching the graph, as it
An acid is a substance that will dissociate in water to give a proton (or H+ ion) and a conjugate base. An acid is considered to be strong if dissociation nears 100%, and weak if dissociation is usually less than 1%. In this lesson, we will learn about strong alkalis and weak alkalis. An alkali

Triangles are the building blocks of all other straight-edged shapes. They were used for hundreds of years to create accurate maps and GPS today still works using trigonometry. Even the pixels on phones and screens use trigonometry.We need to know these things so that we can work out exact length
Learn the basics about Corrosion. How does that chemical reaction happen to metal elements? Why does it happen? Find out more in this video! This video is part of 'Chemistry for All' - a Chemistry Education project by our Charity Fuse Foundation - the organisation behind The Fuse School. These vide
Watch part 2 of the videos on the Carbon Cycle, as a part of environmental chemistry. Mankind has had an influence on the carbon cycle. The carbon dioxide released during respiration is cycled naturally. Same is the case if we burn wood and agricultural waste – even biogas given off from food we t
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
Homeostasis is a term first defined by Claude Bernard in 1865. It means maintaining a constant internal environment. This is a bit like how our brain works. Sensors all around the body are measuring various things and sending the information back to the brain the brain in does its best to keep all t
