The Immune Response 21 Minutes
Subject: Biology
Level: Jnr Primary-Jnr Secondary
Other than swelling at a cut, and maybe some
slight fever, we would be forgiven for not being aware
of the existence of the human immune system. It is
however a highly complex system, and when it is
overwhelmed, things can get a lot more serious. In
this informative and engaging program the
levels of immune defence are explored in isolation
and as part of a disparate yet interconnected system.
High quality animations are used to illustrate the
nature of specific and nonspecific defence
mechanisms deployed by the human immune system.
The role of human intervention in the defence against
disease is also explored.

Chemistry Concepts 1 24 Minutes
Subject: Chemistry
Level: Mid Secondary-Snr Secondary
This comprehensive learning resource consists of four
video segments on key chemistry concepts with short
answer and multiple choice questions related to each
video, an interactive periodic table, and a PowerPoint
demonstration. We explore atomic modeling through
history, from the ancient Greeks and Chinese through
to 19th and 20th century models. We examine the
development of the periodic table, from the discovery
and classification of different elements and their
properties to Mendeleyev's system of classifying
chemical elements. We also discuss various bonding
models and the limitations they pose in accurately
explaining and accounting for bonding phenomena.
Designing Fashion 18 Minutes
Subject: Design & Technology
Level: Mid Secondary-Adult
This program investigates the steps taken by fashion

aided design (CAD) to enhance and support their
work, and finally, the steps involved in sampling,
pattern making and production.

Anxiety Disorders 21 Minutes
Subject: Health & Social Care
Level: Mid Secondary-Snr Secondary
Humans, like many animals, possess a highly
developed sense of danger in our environment. In its
most basic form, our awareness of these threats is
anxiety. Our “fight or flight” response can be highly
beneficial, but in the 21st Century, this state of
