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

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
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
Algebraic fractions are simply fractions with algebraic expressions either on the top, bottom or both. We treat them in the same way as we would numerical fractions. In part 1 we saw how to simplify, and add and subtract algebraic fractions. We discovered that algebraic fractions follow the same pri
What is Maternal Mortality? This simpleshow explains current facts as well as causes. This video was created by one of our volunteer authors to support the campaign "Goal 3 - Good Health and Well-Being". Find more information on our website http://simpleshow-foundation.org/. Click here to see more
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
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
In this video we are going to cover eating disorders, and in particular, anorexia. You may not be aware of this, but four out of 10 people have either personally experienced an eating disorder or know somebody who has. So what exactly is an eating disorder, you may ask? An eating disorder is a psy
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
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
We can use prime factorisation to find the highest common factors and lowest common multiples of any number - even large numbers. Before we jump straight in with discovering how, if you aren’t quite sure how to find prime factors, or want a factors and multiples recap - watch these videos first.
