Tubes on YouTube

I have just found a great resource from YouTube for a Year 9 science class I am teaching tomorrow.

Below is a short video which describes the tubal system for transporting water and sugar in plants. Tomorrow the Year 9 class will learn about the structure and function of plant stems and the video will be an excellent visual teaching aid.

The commentary on the video is not particularly technical. I intend to show it to students after I have provided them with a full description of the stem system. While the video is playing I will pause it at appropriate locations and ask students to identify the correct terminology.
