Wellcome Trust: Animations

From the Wellcome Trust, these short animations can be downloaded and used in the classroom. The animations help students to understand a range of biological processes and diseases. These include:
* The genome, methods used in DNA sequencing and the translation and transcription of DNA into proteins
* The transmission and symptoms of diseases caused by protozoa such as Leishmaniasis, malaria, trypanosomiasis and Chagas' disease.
* Viral diseases including HIV and Dengue.
* Parasitic worms that cause schistosomiasis, intestinal worms and lymphatic filariasis.
* Diseases, such as syphilis, caused by bacteria.
The animations are suitable for students of secondary school age ranges. They can be used as an introduction to the topic or as a way to reinforce learning.
