These time lapse videos are an incredible tool to teach kids about plant growth. It was really hard for me at school to visualise plants as living beings and their "life" was always an abstract concept.

The channel has some more interesting videos. I wish someone did videos to demonstrate phototropism, hydrotropism etc. It would be much cooler to have those videos around, which could be used to explain such concepts to kids.

The latest BBC nature series Green Planet has lots of excellent time lapse videos of all kinds of plants, well worth a watch.

There are some clips available on youtube, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SM-Ilh2lHZk
