Film Description
A visualisation of the molecular mechanisms that power your cells and tissues, converting food and air into the flow of chemical energy that makes your body be alive.
Lesson Inspiration
This film demonstrates how our understanding of body systems and cells has been vastly improved through developments in technology. It could be used to highlight the importance of cross-disciplinary learning and how many STEM skills are applied together in careers to conduct research and uncover new understanding.
Useful when:
This film could be used when learning about cells, chemical reactions or energy transfer. It highlights how these all take place within living things and so understanding across the sciences (and beyond) is important in careers.
