Learning at home videos

My county just issued a shelter-in-place. Though emergency personnel are working, many others will have to stay home. YouTube offers some free educational videos for families:


Amoeba Sisters,
I love the Amoeba sisters; they've even updated their virus video that explains in simple terms how viruses aren't technically living things. Even though they aren't living, lytic and lysogenic cycles allow them to multiply. For ages 13+

HHMI Biointeractive,
Numerous videos with easy-to-understand graphics.

Explains how in Photosynthesis, for instance,  water donates electrons and carbon accepts them, resulting in the formation of carbohydrates. Explains what happens inside the chloroplasts--the light reactions and Calvin cycle.  For High school readers and up.
