Learn which type of graph is best four your data. A line graph is helpful for data over time, and a bar graph is helpful for categories. This helps you decide which graph is best for data visualization and which type of graph to use.
Learn all about the largest phylum of organisms, the arthropods.
Arthropods have an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and jointed appendages.
Common arthropods are insects, crabs, ants, and lobsters.

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.
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 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 couldnโt explain how the plates moved apart.
Since this time Scientists have proposed at least four mechanisms to explain how tectonic plates move over the Earthโs 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.
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
In this video, I cover the relationship of visible light and the electromagnetic spectrum. Visible light is found betwwen infared waves and ultraviolet waves.
White light is made up of different colors. You can use ROY G BIV to help remember the colors that make up white light.

Animal Behavior- Imprinting
Imprinting is an animal behavior in which new born birds and some mammals follow one of the first objects they see.
First mentioned by Konrad Lorenz it helps animals recognize their mother and other similar animal.

In your middle school science class or in Earth science you will hear about the lithosphere.
The Lithosphere is the top rigid, rocky portion of our earth
There are two types, the continental lithosphere, and the oceanic lithosphere.
The lithosphere is also divided into large tectonic plates.
These plates were one large continent called Pangea that broke apart.
Learn the difference between myopia and hyperopia
Myopia which is also called nearsightedness is when you can see items up close clearly and distance objects are blurry.
Hyperopia is the opposite. You can see distant objects clearly and objects that are close are blurry.
The cell membrane surrounds the cell and protects the cell, communicates with other cells, and controls what enters and exits the cell.
The cell membrane is made of phospholipids which have a polar and nonpolar end.
The cell membrane also has proteins and carbohydrates.
In this video, I cover what the cell membrane is made of and the structure and function of the cell membrane.
What are diatoms?
Diatoms are a major group of algae and are among the most common types of phytoplankton.
Diatoms are unicellular organism, although they can form colonies
They have cell walls made of glass
Diatoms belong to kingdom Protista
There are at least 100,000 species of diatoms have been discovered,
Diatoms exist in large numbers in most bodies of water throughout the world. In fact, just one quart of seawater can contain millions of diatoms
They are primary producers and create and are a very large food source in the ocean
Diatoms are autotrophs and produce energy by photosynthesis.As a result,, diatoms need sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. They are found in the ocean, fresh water, and even moist topsoil
Many Diatoms are microscopic, but some measure a millimeter across.
Diatoms contribute enormous amounts of oxygen to our atmosphere.
Two basic forms of these organisms exist. They are known as Centrales Centrales have radial symmetry and are most often found in oceans and are wheel-shaped. They can be found drifting near the surface, sunlight and absorbing nutrients.Pennales tend to be elongated
Many Pennales live in fresh water streams, swamps, ditches, or on the bottoms of shallow regions of oceans and estuaries.

Learn how the blood flows through the heart.
Your heart pumps blood throughout your body.
Blood helps keep us alive by transporting oxygen to the cells, removing carbon dioxide, fighting disease, and carrying important nutrients that your body needs.
Your heart has four chambers. Your top chambers are called atriums, and the lower chambers are ventricles.
Blood travels to the lungs by the pulmonary arteries and back to the heart by the pulmonary veins.

Learn how compression and tension create mountains and mid-ocean ridges and trenches.
Compression is stress that squeezes an object.
Tension stretches an object.
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.
You can find all of my kindness stories in this playlist.
