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.

Commensalism Examples
Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other organism is neither helped nor harmed.
The examples include egret bird and cattle, orchids and trees, barnacles, burdock weeds, and remora

Reading a ruler that measures in inches.

Reading a ruler can be a little tricky. What do all of these marks represent?
The ruler is divided into inches which are represented by numbers and then each inch is subdivided into smaller equal units.
In this video, I use a ruler divided into half an inch, one fourth an inch, and one eighth.
With a little practice you will find easy an inch ruler or tape measure can be easy.

In this video, I explain balanced and unbalanced forces from a physics viewpoint.
Balanced forces do not cause movement or a change in speed.
Unbalanced forces cause an object to move in the direction of the greater force.

Examples of balanced forces acting on an object

Pool balls that are balanced being struck by an unbalanced force.
Lifting weights The downward pull of gravity is balanced by the resistance force of the weight stand.
Using a car jack creates an unbalanced force upward.
A car at rest being struck by another car causes the forces to be unbalanced and movement in the direction of the force.

An organ is a group of two or more tissue that works together to complete a common function.
Your body has around 78 organs.
In this video, I will cover several major organs.

The brain is the boss of your body. It runs the show and controls just about everything you do, even when you're asleep

The heart is a very strong muscle made of cardiac muscle that helps pump your blood throughout your body.

The kidneys are very important because they filter your blood and produce urine.

The spleen filters blood and acts like disease detectives. It also produces antibodies and lymphocytes which fight germs.

The Small and Large intestines are a major site of digestion. The small intestine is responsible for 90 percent of digestion. At the same time, the large intestines absorb salts, mineral, and vitamins.

The Liver Is a large organ with over 200 functions. It produces bile which helps with digestion, stores glycogen, and filters your blood to eliminate harmful bacteria and damaged cells.

The gallbladder stores the bile produced by the liver

Your stomach Is a site of digestion of the food we eat. After chewing our food it travels down the esophagus to the stomach.

The pancreas helps to regulate the blood sugar level of your body.

The skin protects us from disease,removes waste, and helps control our temperature.


Finally, the Lungs are responsible for exchanging oxygen for carbon dioxide

3 Laws of motion
in this video, I cover real-life examples of the three laws of motion.
Law 1 or the law of Inertia—states that matter wants to resist any change in motion
The speed or motion of an object will not change unless an outside force acts on it.
For example, this bowling ball would travel in straight line forever, but the friction of the floor, and air, plus the pins are outside forces and change the velocity of the bowling ball.
Astronauts appear to float in space because there is very little gravity pulling down on them So when they change their velocity upward the force of gravity is not pulling down on them and they can float.

If you are driving a car and it hits another car, the car stops but the people inside keep moving forward.
The outside force has acted on the car and not the person in the car. This is the same way a catapult works. The lever stops but the object keeps moving.

Law 2 of Motion

Newton’s 2nd Law: “The acceleration of an object depends on the force acting on it_ and the mass of the object

There is an equation associated with this law:

F= ma
Force = mass multiplied by acceleration

Think of shopping for groceries. The mass of an empty shopping cart is less than a full shopping cart so takes much less force to push the empty cart compared to pushing a cart that is filled up with stuff

Law Three

Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion --“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

As the boy jumps down on the trampoline the trampoline pushes back in the opposite direction and causes the boy to go in the opposite direction.

As the balloon hits the ground the ground pushes back in an opposite direction which causes the balloon to change direction and move in the opposite direction.

We are in the middle of tornado season. Although tornados can be fascinating, they can be very dangerous.

A simple phosphorus cycle explanation

Phosphorus is not found in the atmosphere. It is important for the production of ATP, DNA, and membrane.
Phosphorus follows a biogeochemical cycle that ensures the earth always has phosphorus and phosphate.
Substances like phosphorus, carbon, and nitrogen move from living organisms to abiotic factors This cycling from living organism to abiotic factor is a biogeochemical cycle.

Quantitative Data vs Qualitative Data

Additional Information on Qualitative vs Quantitative Data
https://moomoomath.com/qualita....tive-vs-quantitative

Data can be divided into two groups called quantitative and qualitative data
Quantitative data is numerical
Qualitative Data id descriptive data
Let’s look at examples of both
Examples of quantitative data would be
The number of pets, time of day, the temperature outside
Quantitative data can be graphed
If you count or measure, you are collecting quantitative data
There are two types of quantitative data, discrete and continuous
Discrete data is usually data you can count and continuous data is usually data you measure. I have a separate video on these two types of data.
Qualitative is descriptive or observations and uses words
For example, the color of a house, smell of a sock, texture of a shirt
Quantitative or Qualitative
Consider a cat
Quantitative Data would be the cat has 4 legs and weighs 10 pounds
Qualitative data would be the cat is yellow, and has soft fur
A bookshelf
Quantitative would be you have 50 books and is 150 centimeters tall.
Qualitative data would be it is multi-color and has a smooth texture

Acceleration is the measure of the change in velocity over time. The change in velocity can be a change in speed, direction or both.

The formula for average acceleration is
Final velocity-Initial Velocity over Time it takes to change

Acceleration is expressed in meters per second squared

We keep asking how AI can help students succeed. But what are they really learning?

In this thoughtful and challenging TEDx talk, university instructor and UX designer Charlie Gedeon explores how artificial intelligence is revealing and accelerating the cracks in modern education. From students outsourcing decisions to ChatGPT to the quiet disappearance of critical thinking, Charlie unpacks how AI is reinforcing a system built to reward grades over growth.

With personal anecdotes, sharp systems thinking, and a call for collective responsibility, this talk asks: If AI is the teacher, what is the lesson? Charlie Gedeon is a university instructor, entrepreneur, and interaction designer. He studies how technology changes how we think and learn, and how systems shape behaviour. His work focuses on reimagining digital tools and learning experiences to support critical thinking, rather than replace it.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
