In this video, we look at continuous variation and standard deviation. First we look at the two different types of variation, which are continuous variation and discontinuous variation. We then explore how to calculate standard deviation and what standard deviation tells us about the amount of variation present.

In this video, we look at how plant cells are specialised to carry out their functions. We explore three types of plant cell: root hair cells, xylem cells and phloem cells.
