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

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
chemical equations
Reactants on the left, products on the right

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.

How do thunderstorms form? In this video, I will cover the basics of these exciting storms.Here is how a thunderstorm forms
Step 1 Warm moist air is heated and begins to rise upward.
Step 2 As this warm air rises it begins to cool, condenses and begins to form clouds
Step 3 This warm air will continue to rise and will encounter cold air which will cool the moisture in the clouds and ice may form
Step 4 Eventually the cooled moisture and ice will begin to fall to the earth This action creates a downdraft
5. The updrafts continue feeding warm humid air and the falling moisture create downdrafts. This creates convection currents. You can see what convection currents look like. The warm water is in red and the cool water is blue.
These convection currents create the most violent stage of the thunderstorm
Lightning and strong winds are produced
6. Eventually the downdrafts will stop the updrafts of warm air
7 When the warm moist air is cut off the storm begins to dye off

There are three main types of thunderstorms; orographic, air mass, and frontal.

Mountains can form through folding, volcanism, and faulting.
Folded mountains form when rock layers are squeezed together and are pushed upward.
Many folded mountains occur at convergent boundaries where continental crust collide
The Himalayas stretch through the borders of China, Nepal, India, and Pakistan is the most towering mountain range on Earth,
Volcanic mountains are created when melted rock erupts onto the earth’s surface. Many volcanic mountains occur at convergent boundaries. Most of the active volcanoes on earth are concentrated around the edge of the pacific ocean.
Fault block mountains form when tension causes the lithosphere to break into normal faults.
At normal faults, the lithosphere drops down. The pieces left standing form fault-block mountains.

Learn the difference between an observation and an inference. An observations uses our 5 senses to make observations. These observations can be qualitative or quantitative.
An inference is an explanation of the observation based on prior experience.

X linked chromosomes explained,Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. One pair determine the gender of the child.A female will have xx chromosomes and males will have an x and a y chromosome
The x and y chromosomes not only carry the genes that determine male and female traits but also some other characteristics as well.
Since only men inherit Y chromosomes, they are the only ones to inherit Y-linked traits. The y chromosome carries around 200 genes.
There are about 1,100 human X-linked genes.
Most of them code for something other than female anatomical traits. Some X-linked genes are responsible for abnormal conditions such as hemophilia, red-green color blindness,
and "male pattern baldness".

Learn how to convert a mixed number, which is also called a mixed fraction, to an improper fraction. A mixed number has a whole number plus a fraction.
The denominator of the improper fraction is the same denominator of the mixed fraction.
You have a whole number part and a fractional part.
The denominator of the fraction tells you how many parts each whole number is worth.
The mixed number 2 and ⅔ each whole number is worth 3
Therefore, with 2 and ⅔ you have 3 times 2 which equal 6 parts plus you have 2 in the numerator so it becomes 6 plus 2 which equals 8 and you always keep the same denominator of the fraction so the improper fraction equals 8/3

A Coulomb is the SI unit for charge. It is equal to 6.24 x 10 to the 18th power.
Electric power is voltage times current. Voltage is equal to Joule/Coulomb and an ampere is equal to a Coulomb/Second. Let's take a look at what this SI unit for charge.
A Coulomb is also equal to 1 ampere ( the si unit for current) times 1 second
1C = 1A x 1s
In other words, if the current in a circuit is 1 ampere then 1 Coulomb passes a point each second.
1A = 1C/s

The Electromagnetic Spectrum is made up of EM waves that are composed of oscillating magnetic and electric fields. This is why they are called ‘electromagnetic’ waves.
The electromagnetic spectrum is ordered by a frequency which is the number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point per second. The electromagnetic spectrum contains radio waves, microwaves, light,x-rays, gamma rays, and more.

The MAD is the average distance of all of the elements in a data set from the mean of the same data set
You can think of it as how far each piece of information is from the average
If you look at MAD you have the mean which is the average, the absolute value, and deviation.
The MAD indicates how spread out your data set is.
A large MAD indicates a data set more spread out relative to the mean.
A small MAD indicates a data set less spread out relative to the mean.

This video helps with the following Math Standard
MGSE9-12.S.ID.2 Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center
(median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, mean absolute deviation, standard deviation) of
two or more different data sets.

These 9 phyla contain roughly 90 percent of all animals found on Earth. Phylum Porifera
Sponges are pretty basic animals with no specialized organs but they are filter feeders that suck up plankton and other organic matter found in the water

Phylum Annelida
This phylum is made up of Segmented Worms which include earthworms and leeches. This is a large phylum, with over 22,000 species including ragworms, earthworms, and leeches. In addition to having segments, these worms contain a digestive system, most have a closed circulatory system and a nervous system.

Phylum Nematoda – The Roundworms These worms inhabit some bizarre places. Inside your intestines, the hearts of dogs, or inside wasps. Nematodes are very small, slender worms: Many are parasites but others are free-living

Phylum Platyhelminthes – The Flatworms are ribbon-shaped worms that can absorb food and oxygen through their skin by diffusion.: Examples include planaria, and tapeworms Many are parasites and some like the planarian can regenerate a copy of themselves if it is cut in half.

Molluscs (Mollusca)
This phylum includes snails, clams, slugs, squid, and their relatives. Mollusks are the largest marine phylum, comprising about 23% of all the named marine organisms molluscs have a mantle with a significant cavity used for breathing the presence of a radula which is similar to a tongue and a nervous system.

Arthropods (Arthropoda)
The largest animal phylum, This phylum includes crustaceans, insects, arachnids, and other organisms. Arthropods have an exoskeleton, segmented bodies, and jointed appendages

Echinoderms (Echinodermata)
Include Sea stars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers Echinoderms have radial symmetry and are found on the sea bed at every ocean depth Echinoderms contain a water vascular system that helps with gas exchange, feeding, sensory reception, and locomotion

Cnidaria
Cnidarians are famous for their stinging cells. This phylum contains
Jellyfish, and sea anemones They mostly have two basic body forms: swimming medusae and polyps, both of which are radially symmetrical

All of the previous phyla contain animals that are invertebrates which means they do not have a backbone
Chordates include animals that have a notochord most people call this the backbone and a spinal cord
The phylum includes
All types of fish,
amphibians,

reptiles,

birds,

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.

How does the oxygen cycle work?
The oxygen cycle involves the movement of oxygen between biotic and abiotic factors.
the oxygen cycle maintains the level of oxygen in our atmosphere.
Processes within the cycle are considered either a source ( oxygen production) or a sink which involves oxygen consumption
