Learn about the arctic and alpine tundra.
The tundra is a very cold and dry biome.The arctic tundra is found in North America, Asia, and Europe and circles the arctic ocean and stretches southward down to the taiga.The alpine tundra occurs at any latitude and is found at high elevations of 10,000 feet and
above.
The alpine tundra is found above the tree line and does not have any trees
Because of the high elevation, the alpine tundra has a climate and rainfall similar to the arctic tundra.

Let’s take a look at the difference between specular reflection and diffuse reflection.
Specular reflection reflects all light that arrives from a given direction at the same angle, whereas diffuse reflection reflects light in many different directions.
I also review the law of reflection and the difference between the incident ray and reflective ray.

This video is about biomes of the world. I include great video and pictures of the following biomes, Desert, Rainforest, Taiga, Deciduous Forest, Grasslands, Savana and the Tundra.

0:24 Desert Biome This tundra can be hot or cold but what it has in common is the small amount of rainfall this biome receives.

3:46 Tropical Rainforest This biome is the complete opposite of the desert because of the amount of rainfall this biome receives.It has a very large diversity of plants and animals.

7:01 Taiga The taiga is cold and contains coniferous trees.

9:42 Deciduous forest This biome contains trees that drop their leaves.

11:50 Temperate Grassland The grassland has lots of grass and very few trees.

14:06 Savanna The savanna is home to very large animals like an elephant and giraffe.

16:19 Tundra The tundra is cold and is found near the arctic circle.

In this video I would like to talk about physical and chemical changes. Physical changes are changes in appearance only.
A new substance is not created and new chemical bonds are .not formed or broken.
For example, take this stack of paper, and wading it into smaller pieces is a physical change.It still has the same properties as the original paper.
Cutting someone's hair is a physical change.
The hair has the same properties as the original hair.
Phase changes are physical changes.
When ice goes to solid,liquid ,then a gas and back it is a physical change.
Most mixtures are a physical change.
Mixing salt and water is a physical change because you can separate it later.
Chemical changes on the other hand create a new substance.
It involves breaking or making new chemical bonds.
between atoms.
Chemical changes leave behind clues or indicators of a chemical change.
Here are 5 indicators of a chemical change.
First if you see burning or fire it is a chemical change.
A temperature change without heating or cooling is a chemical change.
An explosion is a chemical change. They are also pretty cool.
A change in color is a chemical change.
A change in odor is a chemical change and anytime you have bubbles of fizzing you have a chemical change.
Thanks for watching physical and chemical changes,, MooMooMath and Science uploads a new Math and Science video everyday.

Confused about Science variables? In this video, I use 5 experiments in order to help you gain an understanding of Science variables. For example, which car cooler is the coolest temperature in the summer. The different colors are your independent variable and what you are measuring which is temperature is your dependent variable. Your control variables would be same location, measuring the temperature the same way.
Does eating bananas lower your blood pressure? What would be your variables in this experiment?

An outlier is a number in a data set that is much smaller or larger than the other numbers in the data set.

Transcript
Welcome to MooMooMath where we upload a new Math video everyday. In this video I would like to talk about what an outliers and how the affect measure of center.
An OUTLIER is when one data value is much greater
or much less than the rest of the data values in the
set.
An OUTLIER may affect a measure of center.
Determine how the outlier affects the median and the mean in the
following quiz scores.
55, 88, 90, 93, 94
Indentify the outlier yes it is 55
Next Find the median
Determine how the outlier affects the median by finding the median WITHOUT the outlier included.
MEDIAN = WITHOUT THE OUTLIER
Is as follows.
Did the median change? By how much? 1.5
Next, Calculate the mean
Determine how the outlier affects the mean by finding the mean
WITHOUT the outlier included.
MEAN = WITHOUT THE OUTLIER
Did the mean change? yes By how much? 7.25
Which measure of center changed MORE with the outlier?
The mean
WHEN THERE IS AN OUTLIER, IT IS BEST TO USE THE
MEDIAN
No outlier use mean when finding the measure of center
of comparing the measure of center

Cenozoic EraIn this video I would like to talk about the Cenozoic era on the geologic time scale.
The Cenozoic era is the most recent era and is part of the Phanerozoic Eon along with the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras.
The Cenozoic era lasted roughly 65 million years.
The Cenozoic era is most often described as the “ age of mammals” but could also be called the
“Age of flowering plants” or the age of insects.
Let’s hit several highlights of this era
Although the first mammals appear in the Mesozoic era they begin to thrive during the Cenozoic era and spread throughout the world.
Birds become more diverse and becoming more diverse.
In addition flowering plants also begin to thrive and spread to all corners of the Earth
Along with insects.
Apes and Humans also appear
During this era, the Earth is cooler and ice ages occur and the formation of glaciers.
In addition, the continents have moved into their modern location and several mountain ranges including the Alps, Himalayas, and the Rocky mountains

In this video I cover different types of graphs and when they should be used.
For example, a bar graph is best or putting numbers in categories..

A Circle Graph is best to show different parts of the whole.
A Double bar Graph
can be used when you have two or more sets of data.
A Box Whiskers Plot is great to measures of variation
A histogram can show the frequency of data divided into intervals
A line Graph can graph change over time.
A line Plot can be used to show the frequency data on a number line

Ocean stratification results when ocean water with different densities forms layers due to their properties. In this video, I show how differences in salinity can create ocean stratification which may result in ocean currents.
In the salinity demonstration, I have a container divided into two halves. On one side I have fresh water and the other I have very salty water. The two types of water are separated by a divider. When I lift the divider the salty water flows under the warm water and creates a current.

Learn how to calculate the volume of a hemisphere. You basically take the formula for the volume of a sphere and divide it by 2. The formula for volume is 4/3 pi radius cubed.

Kingdom Monera-Bacteria-Archaebacteria
The kingdom monera consists entirely of single cell organisms. Members of the kingdom are found just about everywhere on earth. They are located in popular springs,cow's stomach, and nearly every surface on earth.
All members of the kingdom don't have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles. Accordingly, they are categorized as prokaryotes.
They have a cell wall, genetic material, cytoplasm, and ribosomes.
Bacteria get their energy in lots of different methods.
Some get strength from sunlight,others get strength from chemicals like CO2, while some break down organic and natural material
This kingdom is split into two groups.
Archaebacteria and bacteria
Archaebacteria is found in extreme environments.
For instance, some are in the tummy of a cow, hot springs, the dead sea, and swamps or marshes.
They have a different type of cell wall than bacteria and so are antibiotic resistant.
Bacteria are found just about everywhere.
They are very important to life on earth.
Although some cause disease, virtually all are extremely helpful to us.
They break down food inside our stomach, help the nitrogen cycle, and actually help make a few of our food like sauerkraut.
We could not survive without bacteria.
Bacteria could be classified by their shape.
Coccus includes a sphere shape
Spirillum have a good spiral shape
Bacillus have a good rod shape.
Most organisms of monera kingdom reproduce asexually in an activity called binary fission, however, many reproduce sexually in an activity called conjugation.

What are the factors that allow the Earth to sustain life?
Life has been around for a long time. How does the earth help life on earth keep going and going and going.
I would like to look at three processes and one force that work together to help sustain life.
First, life is sustained by the flow of energy from the sun through the biosphere.
The biosphere is any location on earth that has life.
Plants contain chloroplasts which have the ability to convert sunlight into sugar.
Plants combine carbon dioxide, water and sunlight into glucose.
Animals eat plants and the energy from the sun is transferred to the animal.
Other animals eat these animals and the energy from the sun is spread throughout the ecosystem
The next process is the cycling of nutrients within the biosphere.
The earth has several biochemical cycles that recycle important chemicals
These cycles move chemical substance from the biotic and abiotic compartments of Earth. There are biogeochemical cycles for carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and water;
These cycles keep recycling these important chemicals so that we don’t run out of these chemicals.
Life has the ability to duplicate itself. It can be the offspring of two adults or bacteria that uses binary fission to rapidly make copies of itself.
Finally, gravity is the force of attraction between objects.
Gravity hold life on earth and also holds our atmosphere close to the earth.
The atmosphere contains important gases like oxygen which are essential to life.
Without gravity, the earth would not have an atmosphere and life as we know it would go away.
So there you go,
How life keeps going and going and going
