A spider looks like an insect, but a spider is not considered an insect.
A spider is an arachnid and is similar to an insect but also different.
Spiders have two body regions, eight legs, no wings or antennae compared to insects.
Are spiders bugs? No, but they have several similar characteristics

Divergent plate boundaries occur when two tectonic plates move away from one another.
Divergent plate boundaries are considered constructive boundaries.
If you look at a map of the major tectonic plates you can see several divergent plate boundaries.
There are two major types of divergent boundaries.
Continental and continental lithosphere and oceanic and oceanic lithosphere.
An example of an oceanic and oceanic divergent boundary is the mid-ocean ridge.
The mid-ocean ridge runs around the world including going right through Ice land.
A famous example of a continental and continental divergent boundary is the African rift valley.

Ecological Succession occurs when an ecosystem has a disturbance and must regrow. Succession is all about change.
There are two main types of succession, primary and secondary.
Primary occurs when an area has been almost destroyed and little life or soil remains.
Pioneer species are the first plants to regrow.
Secondary succession occurs where you have a disturbance but the soil remains.

Excretory system
The excretory system removes waste and toxins from the human body.
Your skin eliminates waste by sweating.
Your lungs eliminate carbon dioxide.
Your kidneys filter over 180 liters of blood in order to produce urine.
The kidneys filter waste like urea. This liquid that is collected is called urine.
Your kidneys are made up of millions of filtering units called nephrons.

The Law of Conversation of Mass states that the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products in all chemical reactions.
I use a simple demonstration to show this point. I use baking soda and vinegar which is a simple chemical reaction, to demonstrate the law of conservation.
Correction:
0:41 I accidentally said grams instead of ounces while weighing the materials. My mistake.

Transverse waves are waves in which the oscillation is at a right angle to the direction of the wave.
A transverse wave has a crest, trough, wavelength, resting point, wavelength, and frequency.
The following is a quick summary of the video.

Learn how to create a dichotomous key. A dichotomous key is a method to identify objects like animals, rocks, trees, plants, and many other objects. In this video, I use monsters in order to show you how to create a simple dichotomous key. Dichotomous means two parts so the key uses two questions at each step. There are different types of dichotomous keys but in this video I show you how to make a simple key.

Biology MineralsIn this video I will discuss 15 important minerals of the human body. A mineral is an inorganic nutrient which means it lacks carbon. Minerals build cells, take part in chemical reactions, send nerve impulses, and carry oxygen. Your body cannot produce any of the minerals that it needs. Instead, you must get minerals from the foods you eat.
Minerals are one of the four groups of essential nutrients, the others of which are vitamins, essential fatty acids, and essential amino acids.
Macrominerals are used in large quantities
Trace minerals are used in very small amounts
List of 15 minerals covered
Potassium
Chlorine
Manganese
Copper
Iodine
Chromium
Molybdenum
Selenium
Cobalt

What is Carrying Capacity? The carrying capacity is the maximum number of a species that an environment can support.

The maximum number of individuals in a species that an environment can support for the long term is the carrying capacity. Carrying capacity is limited by the limiting factors. These factors may include food, water, shelter, appropriate space, as well as disease, predation, and climatic conditions
If a population nears the carrying capacity. resources become limited and if a population exceeds the carrying capacity deaths began to outnumber births

Steps of cellular respiration
All organisms use respiration in order to produce energy.
In this video I review the basics of cellular respiration.
Welcome to MooMooMath
All living organisms practice cellular respiration.
This includes bacteria,fungi,plants, and animals
Why is cellular respiration important?
Because living organisms generate energy with cellular respiration
In plants and animals cellular respiration takes place at the mitochondria.

Think of the mitochondria as the power plant of the cell because the energy of the cell is generated at the mitochondria
Just like these powerplants and turbines generate power for their city.

Cells that need more energy have more mitochondria like muscles

At the mitochondria sugar combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide plus water and energy in the energy in the form of atp

If you live in the united states,canada, or Australia, you use a 12 hour system for telling time.
If you look at this clock it is 7 oclock. However is this 7 oclock in the morning or 7 oclock at night. This is where am and pm help
.The 12-hour system divides the 24 hours of a day into two periods lasting 12 hours each. The first 12-hour period is designated as am. It runs from midnight to noon. The second period, marked pm, covers the 12 hours from noon to midnight.
AM comes from the latin phrase ante meridiem, which translates to, before midday)
and p.m. from the Latin phrase post meridiem which translates to, past midday
There are 24 hours in a day, this requires the hour hand to pass the 12 twice.

Learn how to read a dichotomous key which is used in classification in order to help identify objects.
In this example, I classify 3 monsters. The first thing to remember is to always start at 1A with each new object that you are classifying. Because each question has two parts you should always start at the A question and then the question will tell you where to go next.

present in results using tables and graphs and explain in words, do not use raw data, also discuss problems or errors that may have happened

Conclusions
During the conclusion, you will either accept or reject your hypothesis and summarize your results.
Be sure to include photos, illustrations, graphs, and charts.

Your log book should be displayed in front of your project.
It should include notes on readings, bibliographic information,
thoughts, ideas, and trials.
Any raw data (all of the measurements you collect
during your experimental trials).
Staple in copies of graphs or charts.
Attach photos and label them.
Be sure to date each entry and enter each science activity you do.

Why do animals like insects, fish, zebras, and even Zooplankton migrate?
Animal migration is the periodic journey of an animal from one place to another and then back again. There are many examples of animals that migrate. Geese are one example. Geese migrate in search of favorable weather, a place to breed, and a food supply. In just 24 hours, these birds can travel 2,214 kilometers from Canada to the southern U.S. or vice versa.

Biodiversity and ecosystems.
Biodiversity is the variety of life in an area that is determined by the number of species in that area. In simple terms “ Biodiversity is the number of different individuals and life forms in an area.
As biodiversity increases so do the health of the ecosystem increases.
Think of it as if you were running a business.
You want your business to be healthy and make money. Imagine you sell shirts. If you only sold a black shirt with a heart you are limited and if these shirts go out of style you are out of business. If you have a variety of shirts as fashion changes you are better able to adapt to these changes and continue to make money.
As biodiversity increases the ecosystem has a greater ability to adapt to changes.
and a healthy ecosystem has a greater chance of recovering from disasters.
Biodiversity can be broken down into three types
Genetic diversity
Species diversity
Ecosystem diversity

Learn about dice probability. How do you calculate the probability of rolling an 8 with a pair of dice?
You can calculate the probability of rolling a number by using the number of favorable events divided by the number of total events.
