LS3.A: Inheritance of Traits

In this video Paul Andersen explains the importance of DNA is organisms. DNA contains the blueprint for each organisms. The DNA codes for the mRNA which creates proteins. The DNA also is the unit of inheritance which is passed from generation to generation. A K-12 teaching progression is also included.

CCC2: Cause and Effect

Crosscutting Concept 2: Cause and Effect - Mechanisms and Explanation In this video Paul Andersen explains cause and effect its importance in science and engineering. He starts by addressing the chain of interactions that must be present to show cause and effect. He addresses the assumptions of universality and scale in determining cause and effect.

SEP1: Asking Questions and Defining Problems

Science and Engineering Practice 1: Asking Questions and Defining Problems Paul Andersen explains how asking questions is the first step in both science and engineering. Questions allow scientists to direct inquiry with a goal of understanding the phenomena in the Universe. Questions allow engineers to define problems that require solutions.
