Learn all about the largest phylum of organisms, the arthropods.
Arthropods have an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and jointed appendages.
Common arthropods are insects, crabs, ants, and lobsters.

Learn how biogeochemical cycles work. Important elements along with molecules like water are conserved by moving between living factors called biotic factors and abiotic factors which are nonliving factors. You can remember the elements that have biogeochemical cycles using CHNOPS
Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, Sulfur.
Each of these elements has its own unique cycle and path from biotic and abiotic factors.

The hydrologic cycle (water cycle) recycles water on earth. The water cycle drives our weather and allows life to exist on earth. Let ’s start with the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean.
As moist air is lifted, it cools and water vapor condenses to form clouds. In fact, clouds are made up of tiny water droplets and ice crystals that are so small they can float in the air.
This moisture in the atmosphere may be transported around the globe until it returns to the surface as precipitation.
Precipitation may take the form of rain, snow, sleet or hail. Once the water reaches the ground, one of two processes may occur, some of the water may evaporate back into the atmosphere or the water may penetrate the surface and become groundwater. The groundwater may take several different paths.
Groundwater either seeps its way to into the oceans, rivers, and streams, or into an aquifer which is a body of saturated rock through which water can easily move, or it may be released back into the atmosphere through transpiration.
Transpiration occurs when leaves from trees and other vegetation give off water vapor through pores in their leaves.
Some water on the earth’s surface is not absorbed by plants or become groundwater and becomes surface runoff, which empties into lakes, rivers and streams and is carried back to the oceans, where the cycle begins again.

Estuaries are bodies of water in which salt and fresh water mix.
Estuaries have been called the "nurseries of the seas because they provide a safe area for fish, birds, and other animals to raise their young.
Estuaries can be classified based on their geographical features. The four main types include bar-built , coastal plain, tectonic esturary, and
fjord type estuary.

Heat is the transfer of energy from objects of different temperatures. As objects warm-up or cool down their kinetic energy changes. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
In this video, I focus on three ways heat can be transferred,
Conduction, Convection, and Radiation.
Conduction involves direct contact between objects and usually occurs among solids.
Convection is caused by unequal heating and the density of the different objects causes movement of fluid away from the heat source.
Radiation occurs without objects touching and occurs in space.
For example, the energy of the sun warms objects on Earth due to radiation.
I show several examples or demonstrations for each type of heat transfer.

Macromolecules are large molecules that help keep the cell alive. What are macromolecules? You may also hear the term biomolecules to describe these large molecules
Cells of animals and most living organisms have four main macromolecules that help keep their cells alive and functioning properly.
The four main macromolecules are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.

In this video, I review the major types of weathering of rocks.
Weathering of rocks is a physical or chemical change that changes the characteristics of rock on earth.
There are two major types
Physical weathering which involves breaking rocks into smaller fragments caused by environmental factors
Chemical weathering changes which involve rocks being changed into new substances or new minerals chemically.
Thanks for stopping by MoMooMath and Science. You can find additional information on weathering here.

Learn how to divide decimals. The key is to make sure the divisor doesn't have a decimal. You can always move the decimal to the right, but if you move the decimal for the divisor you need to also move the decimal of the dividend.

Protein synthesis in simple terms. I cover the steps of transcription and translation. The overall process involves DNA unzipping when RNA polymerase attaches and a strand of RNA is created. Rna is different than DNA because it contains the base Uracil instead of Thymine. This step is called transcription.
I next show the difference between transcription and translation by showing how the mRNA leaves the nucleus and attaches to a ribosome.
At the ribosome codons and anticodons put the amino acids together in the correct order to form the protein.

3 Laws of motion
in this video, I cover real-life examples of the three laws of motion.
Law 1 or the law of Inertia—states that matter wants to resist any change in motion
The speed or motion of an object will not change unless an outside force acts on it.
For example, this bowling ball would travel in straight line forever, but the friction of the floor, and air, plus the pins are outside forces and change the velocity of the bowling ball.
Astronauts appear to float in space because there is very little gravity pulling down on them So when they change their velocity upward the force of gravity is not pulling down on them and they can float.
If you are driving a car and it hits another car, the car stops but the people inside keep moving forward.
The outside force has acted on the car and not the person in the car. This is the same way a catapult works. The lever stops but the object keeps moving.
Law 2 of Motion
Newton’s 2nd Law: “The acceleration of an object depends on the force acting on it_ and the mass of the object
There is an equation associated with this law:
F= ma
Force = mass multiplied by acceleration
Think of shopping for groceries. The mass of an empty shopping cart is less than a full shopping cart so takes much less force to push the empty cart compared to pushing a cart that is filled up with stuff
Law Three
Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion --“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
As the boy jumps down on the trampoline the trampoline pushes back in the opposite direction and causes the boy to go in the opposite direction.
As the balloon hits the ground the ground pushes back in an opposite direction which causes the balloon to change direction and move in the opposite direction.

Your vision allows you to see the world around you.
Light passes through your cornea through your pupil, which is controlled by your cornea to your retina.
Your brain then takes this information and converts it to an image.
Key Vocabulary covered
Iris, cornea, pupil, rods, cones, retina, vision, occipital lobe, optic nerve
