The Mohs scale of hardness explained. How can I determine the hardness or the ability to resist scratching of this mineral?
It is the Mohs scale to the rescue. The Mohs scale has ten minerals that increase in hardness. Talc is a number one and is the softest and diamond is the hardest.
This scale can be used to identify minerals.

All about clouds reviews the four main types of clouds along with where clouds are located in the atmosphere and pictures of clouds.
The four types of clouds and the names of clouds can help give you a clue about what the cloud will look like
Cirrus = are feathery and may bring fair weather in the immediate future
Cirrostratus are going to be wispy from cirrus and layered from stratus and are found high in the atmosphere
Cirrocumulus = will be wispy and fluffy and often bring fair weather for the near future
Altostratus = alto clouds are medium clouds and also appear as sheets.

Learn all about our Global winds. These include the Polar Easterlies, the Westerlies, and the trade winds.
Global winds are created from the unequal heating of the Earth and the Coriolis effect.
At some locations on Earth, there are locations of little wind. At the equator, you will find the Doldrums and at 30 degrees north and south you will find the Horse latitudes.

Periodic Table Basics Learn how to use information from the periodic table to find the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons of an element. The atomic number tells you the number of protons. The electrons can be found using the atomic number minus the charge and the atomic mass can be used to find the neutrons.

How is this city like a cell?
They both need to store water and other materials.
Welcome to MooMooMath and Science and organelles and in this video, I will cover the main functions of a vacuole.
Vacuoles store water and waste and other materials in eukaryotic cells. Remember these are cells with membrane-bound organelles and a nucleus.
Vacuoles are storage sacks in plants and animal cells protists but they are not found in
bacterial cells in addition to storing water, vacuoles also store enzymes, waste, and even old damaged organelles.

Learn about the Phosphorus cycle. Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for living organisms. It’s a building block of nucleic acids, like DNA, and phospholipids that form our cell membranes. It is also essential for plant growth.
In the natural world phosphorous is never encountered in its pure form, but only as phosphates, which consists of a phosphorus atom bonded to four oxygen atoms
Phosphate compounds are found in sedimentary rocks, and as the rocks weather—wear down over long time periods—the phosphorus they contain slowly leaches into surface water and soils. Volcanic ash and fertilizer can also be significant phosphate sources.

Difference between habitat and niche-Ecology
A habitat is an ecological area where a plant or animal lives. It may be an island, a tree, or rock ledge. The habitat is where an individual can find food, shelter, protection, and mates.
A niche is a role or position that an individual has in its environment. A niche may also involve what the individual eats, how it interacts with other living things, and also how it interacts with the non-living factors.
I have taught at the same school for many years and the same room for many of these years. This would be my habitat. I teach Life Science at this building and this is my niche. Mrs. English teaches English and Mr. Kay teaches social studies. We all live in the same habitat and we all have our own niche.
Let’s take a look at a real world example.
The Galapagos Islands are islands located 605 miles to the west of South America. There are several types of finches that live on the islands. Their habitat would be the Galapagos Islands and the different Finches have their own niches. The different finches eat different types of food.
The warbler finch has a thin beak for eating insects. A ground finch has a short beak for eating seeds left on the ground.
Cactus finches eat cacti seeds.
Each Finch has their own niche that allows them to survive and prosper in the same habitat as other finches.

In this video, I review the major types of weathering of rocks.
Weathering of rocks is a physical or chemical change that changes the characteristics of rock on earth.
There are two major types
Physical weathering which involves breaking rocks into smaller fragments caused by environmental factors
Chemical weathering changes which involve rocks being changed into new substances or new minerals chemically.
Thanks for stopping by MoMooMath and Science. You can find additional information on weathering here.

Introduction to metabolism | Biology|
You may have heard that you have a fast metabolism or a slow metabolism
But what exactly is your metabolism?
Metabolism is the sum of all chemical reactions within the cells of living things.
Take a look at this summary of all of the chemical reactions taking place in a human.
The chemical reactions of metabolism are organized into pathways in which one chemical is transformed through a series of steps into another chemical, with the help of enzymes.
An example of a pathway is cellular respiration in which glucose and oxygen are transformed into carbon dioxide water and ATP which is used for energy
You can break metabolism down into three main categories.
The chemical reactions used for the conversion of food to energy
The conversion of food into building blocks used to make items like proteins
The chemical reactions needed for the elimination of waste
Enzymes are crucial to metabolism Enzymes help speed up chemical reactions The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products.
Almost all chemical reactions in the cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates fast enough to sustain life
There are over 5000 chemical reactions that occur in plants,animals, and microbes that are controlled by enzymes.
Most of the structures that make up animals, plants and microbes are made from three basic classes of molecule: amino acids, carbohydrates and lipids
Many chemical reactions focus on making these molecules during the construction of cells and tissues, or by breaking them down and using them as a source of energy during digestion and cellular respiration.
These chemicals can also be joined together to make DNA and proteins.
So there you go metabolism the sum of chemical reactions that take place in living things.

Learn how to read a decimal in words. Decimals have fractional parts and can be used to measure small objects.
Decimals consist of three items.
A whole number, a decimal point, a fractional part.

You can test for proportionality on a graph by looking at various properties
A proportional graph will always go through the origin ( 0,0 )
A proportional graph will be a straight line
If you list points ( ordered pairs) from a graph you can create ratios and see if they are constant
