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

Learn how your inner ear regulates your balance.
Inside your inner ear is the semicircular canal. This apparatus controls your balance by measuring the movement of your head.

Erosion is the process by which sediment and other materials are moved from one place to another. There are four main agents of erosion, wind, water, ice, and waves.
Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil, and rocks are added to a landform or landmass.
Erosion and deposition have taken place throughout Earth’s history and have created a variety of landforms.
What landforms have been created by erosion?
Canyons and valleys
Delta
Alluvial Fan
Sinkholes
Caves
Oxbow lake

Let's go through the different levels of Biological organization. I start at the organism and finish at the Biosphere. However, the smallest level of life is a cell. Cells can combine to make tissues, which may combine to make an organ, and a group of organs may make an organ system.

An organism refers to a living thing that has an organized structure, can react to stimuli, reproduce, requires energy plus grows and adapts
Examples include animals, plants, fungi, protists, and many, many more.

Whenever you get a group of the same type of individuals together, like this group of Penguins or these wolves, and horses, or plants you have a population. The organisms are all of the same species.

If you have several different populations living together you have a community.
A community does not include the non-living factors also called abiotic factors.

An ecosystem is a community of living factors called biotic factors and non-living factors called abiotic factors interacting and living together.
A desert can be an ecosystem.
A forest can be an ecosystem.
A pond is an ecosystem,and even a rotting log can even be an ecosystem.
An ecosystem is a community of living and non-living objects living together in a particular area.

A Biome is a large ecosystem that has formed in response to the physical environment[1] in which they are found and a shared regional climate. Examples include a desert, tropical rainforest, and a deciduous forest.
The Biosphere is part of the earth where life exists. It is the sum of all the ecosystems on Earth.

Matter is most often found as either a solid,liquid or a gas. Matter can also move from one phase to another when heat or energy is added or subtracted. In this video, I illustrate this with a triangle that show how matter moves from one state to another.
Key vocabulary covered,
melting
freezing
evaporation
sublimation
deposition
condensation

Sedimentary Rocks are rocks formed from rock fragments and organic matter.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organisms. They form from deposits that accumulate on the Earth's surface or under the ocean. The particles that form a sedimentary rock are called sediment and may be composed of minerals or organic matter.
The following rocks are sedimentary Rocks
Shale, Conglomerate, Limestone, Sandstone

Bacteria-- Parts of a bacteria cell
A bacteria cell is classified as a prokaryotic cell because it does not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.
A bacteria cell does have genetic material, but it is not organized in a nucleus.

What is the pH scale? The letters pH stand for the potential of hydrogen and is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a water-based substance?
pH is organized into a scale of acids and bases with neutral. substances right in the middle
The range goes from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base.
pH is also organized by color. Red usually indicates an acid and blue usually represents a base.
In the video, I cover many pH examples including examples of acids you find around you and examples of bases.

Waves transfer energy without transporting matter. Waves are formed from vibrations and many travels through a medium. Light and radio waves do not need a medium.
Mechanical waves need a medium to pass through and I focus on two types, transverse waves, and longitudinal waves which are also called compressional waves.

The stomach is a major site of digestion. In order to digest food the stomach contains acid. This acid can be almost as strong as battery acid. The stomach also has mucus that protects the stomach from the strong acid.

Mesozoic EraIn this video I would like to talk about the Mesozoic era on the geologic time scale.
The Mesozoic era is part of the Phanerozoic Eon along with the Paleozoic and Cenozoic eras.
Mesozoic means “middle animals” and is a time of rapid change.
This era has also been called the age of reptiles and age of dinosaurs
The Mesozoic era was roughly 65 million years to 250 million years ago.
Let’s hit several highlights of this era
The Mesozoic era began after a mass extinction.
The shape of the continents looked different. At the beginning of this era, there was a super
Continent called Pangea. Over time this supercontinent broke apart and the continents started drifting apart.
The climate was warmer than today
The first mammals appear but are very small and they don’t begin to thrive until the Cenozoic era.
Dinosaurs also appear and begin to scatter and prosper.
The dinosaur population peaks during this era.
However, at the end of this era, the dinosaurs die off
The first birds appear and begin to scatter throughout the world.
The dominant plant is a cone-bearing tree and plants
At the end of this era, flowering plants begin to appear
So there we go the Mesozoic era,
Dinosaurs and cone-bearing plants

Difference between Organic and Inorganic Compounds
Organic compounds contain carbon. There are at least four important organic compounds, lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
Inorganic compounds do not contain carbon and usually are more simple compounds.
There are some compounds that contain carbon and are inorganic like carbon dioxide.

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.
