It's been decades since I was in high school but I really hope these videos, or something similarly realistic and mind-bending, is in the modern biology curriculum. Learning about Darwin, Mendel, Watson and Crick and the experiments they did to develop an understanding of biology was informative, but it wasn't compelling to me. These and the work of Drew Berry and WEHI are just amazing:

I like the wehi videos because they take effort to make the molecular motions appear to be random, a result of stuff blundering about: https://youtu.be/7Hk9jct2ozY

I love reading articles around biology, micro/molecular biology in particular, and looking for references to agency in the text. 'selects', 'filters', 'checks', 'seeks', etc when the reality is that the whole thing is just a massive chemical reaction.
