Study Tips for the visual learner.
Are you are visual learner?
Do you prefer pictures instead of written directions?
As the teacher is lecturing do you create pictures in your mind?
You may be a visual learner.
In this video I suggest several tips help a visual learner at school

Heterotrophs vs Autotrophs An autotroph is also called a producer and a heterotroph is called a consumer.
A heterotroph is an organism that cannot practice photosynthesis and must consume other organisms for energy
An autotroph practices photosynthesis.

Learn the difference between independent and dependent variables in research.
The independent variable can stand alone and is the variable that is being changed or manipulated.
The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured.
Learning the difference between these two types of variables can be very helpful in Science and any type of experiment.
I also cover how to graph these two types of variables.

Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder. The blood of a hemophiliac lacks the ability to clot, due to the fact that one or more of the plasma proteins required to form a clot is absent or reduced in their blood.
A recessive gene, it is carried on the female chromosome X . Males possess XY chromosomes and females XX. Since females have two X chromosomes, they are more often than not carriers.

If you look at the Punnett Square you can see the following.
Each child of a carrier will have a 50% chance of inheriting hemophilia. The daughter of a male haemophiliac will always inherit the disease, while a son cannot ever inherit it. A female will only be affected with haemophilia in the rare circumstance that she inherits mutated X chromosomes from both a hemophiliac father and a carrier mother. No case of such double inheritance is known among Queen Victoria's descendants.
Correction:
1:47 I made a mistake. The H in the lower right box should be lower case h and not a capital letter. H

Learn to add and subtract integers with counters
Using counters is a great way to teach integers to students and a great way to visualize integers when adding and subtracting.
You can use almost anything to represent integer counters.
Paper circles,coins, plastic circles can all be used as counters.

Waxing Moon
Waning Moon
Crescent Moon
Gibbous Moon

Alkaline Earth Metals-- Alkaline earth metals are found in group 2 of the periodic table
They include beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra)
The alkaline earth metals share several common properties, they have
Low density
Silver and soft metals
Ductile and malleable
React with halogens and water
Alkaline earth metals are reactive, not as reactive to alkali metals, but still very reactive. This is because they all contain two electrons in their outer shell. Because they are reactive they are usually found in nature in compound form.

Strontium compounds are often added to fireworks displays for their red flame test color.
Calcium is used by our body for our teeth and bones.
Magnesium is used in antacid and barium is used in light bulbs.
So there are the group 2 alkaline earth metals. They each have two valence electrons.
