Learn how to balance chemical equations.
Follow these steps when balancing a chemical equation
Draw a line vertical at the arrow
Count the number of atoms on each side of the vertical line.
Start with the metals and balance the metals.
Next work with the nonmetals and then move on to hydrogen and other elements.
Remember you cannot change the subscript, only the coefficient.

If you make a model of the distance of the planets on a large field you get an impression of how far away the planets and closest stars really are. In this model, 1 foot represented 15,500,000 miles.
The Earth is only 6 feet away but Pluto ends up being 236 feet away.
The closest star Alpha Centauri ends up being 305 miles away, Imagine that, 305 miles away on this scale when Neptune is less than 100 yards away from the sun. It is hard to imagine these kinds of distances.

Learn how to find the area of a circle.The area of a circle uses the formula is pi times radius squared.

Types of Biodiversity
Biodiversity is the variety of life in an area which is determined which is determined by the number of species in that area.
the totality of genes, species, and ecosystems of a region
As biodiversity increases so do the health of the ecosystem increases.
Think of it as if you were running a business.
You want your business to be healthy and make money. Imagine you sell shirts. If you only sold a black shirt with a heart you are limited and if white shirts go out of style you are out of business. If you have a variety of shirts as fashion changes you are better able to adapt to these changes and continue to make money.
As biodiversity increases the ecosystem has a greater ability to adapt to changes.
Biodiversity is broken down into three types
Genetic diversity
Species diversity
Ecosystem diversity

Levels organization in Biology
Life can be classified from simple to more complex. The levels of organization can be summarized as,atom,molecule,macromolecule,cell,organ,tissue,organ,organsystem,organism,population,community,ecosystem,biosphere.

Kingdom Mollusca Learn about snails, slugs, squid, and cuttlefish and several other invertebrates found in the phylum Mollusca. Animals in this phylum have soft bodies, many have a shell, a mantle, and a nervous system.
Some common members include snails, slugs, scallops, oysters, octopus, squid, nautilus, and cuttlefish.

The scientific method is a systematic method for solving problems. In this video, I review 6 steps of the scientific method.
Step 1. State the problem in a question
Step. 2 Research
Step 3. State a hypothesis
Step 4. Experiment
Step 5. State results
Step. 6 State your conclusion

Autotrophs vs Heterotrophs Producers vs Consumers

An autotroph is an organism that can self feed.The word autotroph comes from the Greek autos self and trophe nourishing.

Autotrophs are the producers in a food web.

Some common examples would include….

Autotrophs produce their energy from the sun in a chemical process called photosynthesis

They take Carbon Dioxide plus water and sunlight and produce sugar and oxygen

Autotrophs form the base of the energy pyramid.

A heterotroph comes from the greek word meaning heteros = another, different and trophe = nutrition
Heterotroph get their energy by eating other plants and animals.

They use
Sugar + oxygen to produce carbon dioxide + water and energy in the form of ATP

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 yield 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy
This process is called cellular respiration

Some Heterotrophs that only eat plants, herbivores others eat only meat, carnivores others eat plants and animals omnivores while some heterotrophs feed on dead organic remains of other organisms decomposers

What is Carrying Capacity? The carrying capacity is the maximum number of a species that an environment can support.

The maximum number of individuals in a species that an environment can support for the long term is the carrying capacity. Carrying capacity is limited by the limiting factors. These factors may include food, water, shelter, appropriate space, as well as disease, predation, and climatic conditions
If a population nears the carrying capacity. resources become limited and if a population exceeds the carrying capacity deaths began to outnumber births

Natural resources can be classified as renewable and nonrenewable resources. Natural resources can be classified as renewable or nonrenewable
A renewable resource can be replaced at the same rate in which the resource is used
Common renewable resources used to produce energy include,
Solar, like these solar panels converting solar energy into electricity. A nonrenewable resource is a resource that forms at a rate that is much slower than the rate that it is formed. Coal is an example. It takes millions of years to create coal and once it is used up it is no longer available
You can use CON to remember three popular nonrenewable resources.
This stands for
Coal
Oil
Natural Gas

Biology MineralsIn this video I will discuss 15 important minerals of the human body. A mineral is an inorganic nutrient which means it lacks carbon. Minerals build cells, take part in chemical reactions, send nerve impulses, and carry oxygen. Your body cannot produce any of the minerals that it needs. Instead, you must get minerals from the foods you eat.
Minerals are one of the four groups of essential nutrients, the others of which are vitamins, essential fatty acids, and essential amino acids.
Macrominerals are used in large quantities
Trace minerals are used in very small amounts
List of 15 minerals covered
Potassium
Chlorine
Manganese
Copper
Iodine
Chromium
Molybdenum
Selenium

In this video, I answer the question " What are adaptations? " Adaptations are traits that increase or decrease the fitness of an organism. In other words, adaptations either help or hinder the ability of an organism to survive. Adaptations are genetically controlled and therefore can be passed on to successive generations.
Let’s take a look at some examples of adaptations from different types of organisms.
