Paul Andersen explains how viruses reproduce using the lytic cycle. He also shows how viruses can pick up new genetic material and how retroviruses (like HIV) can enter into the lytic cycle. He also describes the lysogenic cycle and how it increases the virulence of bacteria.
Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose, a six-carbon sugar, into two three-carbon molecules known as pyruvate. This animation walks through an overview of this process..
Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that oxidizes glucose, a six-carbon sugar, into two three-carbon molecules known as pyruvate. This animation gives a detailed look at the 10 enzymatic reactions involved in the pathway.
Meiosis is a type of cell division involved in sexual reproduction. It occurs in all plants and animals that reproduce by way of gametes or spores. This animation walks through the stages of meiosis, illustrating how a diploid germ line cell divides into four haploid gametes.

Mitosis is the process by which the chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell are divided into into two new nuclei. This animation illustrates how the stages of mitosis progress and eventually lead to the formation of two new cells
The Citric Acid Cycle is a metabolic pathway that uses a two-carbon molecule, and a four-carbon molecule to form a six-carbon molecule that is used to produce NADH, carbon dioxide, ATP and FADH2. The cycle involves eight chemical reactions, and at the end, the original four-carbon molecule is produced. This animation gives an overview of the reactions and products involved in the pathway.

Paul Andersen describes the important characteristics of viruses. He starts with a brief description of origin theories. He then describes the two characteristics of all viruses; genetic information and protein coats. He also describes how some viruses use specialized envelopes to gain entry to their host cells.

For this maker challenge, students become biomedical engineers who design, create, and test a medical device that measures a patient’s pulse using a microcontroller, LED, and light sensor. Students use data collected from the device they build to determine how to best visualize the results, so that a doctor can view the patient’s pulse on the computer screen. During the challenge, students learn about basic coding, the capabilities of microcontrollers, how sensors gather data, how the human circulatory system works, and how to plot real data. Finally, students are challenged to make their systems portable so that they create wearable health technology. This is a great project for a high school senior design team project.
