Difference between monocot vs dicot
Angiosperms are plants that have flowers and seeds encased in fruit.
Angiosperms can be divided into to major categories, monocots and dicots.
Monocots have one cotyledon and dicots have two cotyledons.

Igneous Rocks explained in simple terms with examples.
In this video. I cover intrusive and extrusive along with mafic and felsic.
You can classify igneous rocks is to determine if the rock is mafic or felsic.
Classifying as mafic or felsic is actually a scale of the percent of silica found in the rock
0% to 45% is considered mafic and 65% or greater silica is felsic
45 to 65 is considered intermediate.
Mafic rocks are dark in color and felsic rocks are lighter in color
The names give you a clue as to what other minerals make up these rocks
Mafic can be broken in MA for magnesium and fic which is Latin for iron

Felsic is broken into fel for feldspar and sic for silica
In the video, I take a look at some mafic and felsic igneous rocks.

Learn the difference between prime and composite numbers. All whole numbers greater than one can be classified as prime or composite numbers.
Prime numbers have only factors one and itself. A composite number has other factors other than itself and one. So let's look at some examples. Let's look at 4 and 5
Four is divisible by 1 and four is divisible by 2 so four is a composite number
5 is divisible by 1 but it is odd so it is not divisible by 2 or any other number so 5 is prime.

Description of the major plate boundaries.
In the video, I include description of convergent boundaries. There are three types of convergent boundaries, continental to continental, oceanic to continental, and oceanic to oceanic.
Divergent boundaries are when lithospheric plates move away from each other.
Transform boundaries slide past one another.

In this video, I answer the question, " what makes an amphibian an amphibian?" Learn about the main characteristics of amphibians. Examples of amphibians include frogs,salamanders,newts,toads, and cecillians. All amphibians are vertebrates that can go through some type of metamorphasis.

What does a chemical equation tell you?
A chemical equation is the written expression of a chemical reaction.Welcome to MooMooMath and Science
In this video I would like to talk about chemical equations.
Chemical reactions occur all around us.
They can be exciting like these fireworks, also helpful like these fires..
A chemical reaction can be represented using a chemical equation.
Let's breakdown this chemical equation and see what information it contains.
First,the reactants are on the left of the arrow and products are on the right of the arrow
This equation has methane which is ch4 combining with oxygen which is O2
The plus marks on the left of the arrow tells which elements or compounds are combining
The arrow tells you what it will produce or yield. The right side of the arrow are your products or what is produced
The products in this equation are co2 which is carbon dioxide and h2o or water.
Each capital letter represents a new element and each element has a symbol. The symbol for every element can be found on the periodic table.
A number behind a letter tells is a subscript and represents how many ions of the element are in the chemical equation
H20 tells you that the compound has two hydrogens and 1 oxygen
What do the numbers in front of a letter tell you?
Coefficients are the numbers in front of the formulas
the coefficients give the number of moles of each substance involved in the reaction. In the example reaction 2 H2 + O2 yields 2 H2O
two moles of hydrogen react with one mole of oxygen and produce two moles of water.
Atoms are neither created nor destroyed.
In other words it must be balanced.
If you count the atoms with this reaction you will notice that it is not balanced.
This new equation is balanced because you have equal numbers of elements on both sides.
I will leave a note in the show notes for a video I created on balancing equations.
You can also indicate the physical states of the reactants and products
Here are some symbols
S = solid
l = liquid
g = gas
and aq = dissolved in water
In this chemical equation you have a solid plus a liquid and it produces a hydrogen gas dissolved in water.
So there you go

Reactants on the left, products on the right

Many single-cell organisms, some plants, bacteria, and even animals have the ability to make copies of themselves.
In this video, I explain how fission, budding, spores, and regeneration allow unicellular and multicellular items to make copies of themselves.

Learn the positives and negatives of nuclear power.
In the ’70s people started getting excited about nuclear energy because it has the technology required to be used on a large scale.
In fact, nuclear energy accounts for roughly 21% of the electricity produced in the US.
Compare this to all of the other renewables like solar and wind which combined only produce 12%
But, nuclear power has a dark side

Types of Faults in Geology explained and animated.
In this video, I cover strike-slip fault, normal fault and reverse fault.

Longshore Drift which is also called littoral Drift involves the movement of sand and other items along the shoreline.
As prevailing winds push waves up the shore which is called swash, the backwash moves the sand back down which results in the sand moving in the direction of the prevailing winds.

Learn the difference between a pure substance and a mixture. A pure substance can be an element or a compound. A mixture can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.
In the video, I cover pure substances vs mixtures examples. Along with the differences between pure substances and mixtures.

Learn the difference between an endothermic reaction and an exothermic reaction.
Endothermic reactions take in energy and might be cold to the touch. Exothermic reactions give off energy and will sometimes be warm or hot to the touch.

At @MooMooMath and Science, we end our videos with kindness multiplies kindness. In each of my #shorts I like to tell a quick Kindness story in order to inspire myself and others to practice kindness.
Acts of kindness make a lasting positive impact on the people around you.

Learn how the tectonic plates move. Learn how the tectonic plates move. Alfred Wegener was the first Scientist to propose that the continents fit together like a puzzle and over time moved apart. His idea was brilliant but he had a problem. He couldn’t explain how the plates moved apart.

Since this time Scientists have proposed at least four mechanisms to explain how tectonic plates move over the Earth’s surface.
These four mechanisms include,
mantle convection
Ridge Push
Slab Pull
And Slab Suction

Cells are alive and in order to stay alive and maintain homeostasis the cell needs to move objects into and out of the cell.
Two methods a cell may use are passive transport and active transport.
In the video, I cover diffusion, endocytosis, exocytosis, facilitated diffusion, and pumps. Which are all ways cell transport materials across the membrane.

Mitochondria are amazing and cool
They are found in plants... animals,....fungi,.....protists, and any other eukaryotic cell

They can quickly change shape and move around the cell when needed.
When the cell needs more energy, the mitochondria can reproduce by growing larger and then dividing. For example, say you want to get in shape. As you exercise more the mitochondria in your muscles will increase in number and navigate to the edges of the cell, which allows these muscle cells to have more energy.
If the cell needs less energy, some mitochondria will die or become inactive.
The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell because of their ATP production. The function of the mitochondria is to boost your energy by performing cellular respiration.
