Here is a video I created for my 6th grade science students to help them study. I hope you enjoy.

Producers make food by getting light Source food for ecosystem Consumers eating the food thatโ€™s right We cl****ify vocation

Omnivores thing is to eat it all And herbivores are consuming plants But carnivores meat eaters y'all And scavengers eat all thatโ€™s dead

Itโ€™s the flow of food Chain goes to the right Itโ€™s the flow of food Webs more closely right

Producers will make their food From photosynthesis Makes energy Then herbivores eat that Omnivores eat both it's true Then carnivores consume all that is meat

So weโ€™re following the energy of food Food chain in line for food Arrows who's eating whom
Points to the right that's true Producer, consumer, higher levels to Food webs crossed chains of food Lines overlap they do Food webs show flow of food Producer, consumer, decomposer

Decomposers we do need them right? Breaking down organisms Returns materials back you see Bacteria and fungi too Molds, and mushrooms two major groups

Itโ€™s the flow of food Chain goes to the right Itโ€™s the flow of food Webs more closely right

Producers will make their food From photosynthesis Makes energy Then herbivores eat that Omnivores eat both it's true Then carnivores consume all that is meat

So weโ€™re following the energy of food Food chain in line for food Arrows who's eating whom
Points to the right that's true Producer, consumer, higher levels to Food webs crossed chains of food Lines overlap they do Food webs show flow of food
Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Yeah yeah yeah Oh oh oh
If it eats first food Primary first to dine in line
And if it eats that food Secondary in line

Then if it eats that food Itโ€™s tertiary time And if it eats third food Quaternary defined

Producers will make their food From photosynthesis Makes energy Then herbivores eat that Omnivores eat both it's true Then carnivores consume all that is meat

So weโ€™re following the energy of food Food chain in line for food Arrows who's eating whom
Points to the right that's true Producer, consumer, higher levels to Food webs crossed chains of food Lines overlap they do Food webs show flow of food Producer, consumer, decomposer

Here is a song I created to help my 6th grade students study. I hope you enjoy.

All the life we have seen
Interactions we study
The air, sand, water in a stream
Abiotic that we see
Now trees, animals, you know
Theyโ€™re all biotic if it grows

Organisms weโ€™ve been told
All same species, young and old
Population-same kind in place
Community-(popโ€™s) populations in same space
Ecosystems so you know
Nonliving and all that grows

Animals fighting for it all their life
They are struggling so they donโ€™t die
Thatโ€™s how an organism stays alive
Producers and consumers
Webs and chains, decomposers

Competition for space and food they fight
Predation it is to take a life
And then thereโ€™s symbiosis all three kinds
Mutualism, parasitism
Third in chain, commensalism

Adaptations they will thrive
All that helps them to survive
Behavioral to hunt at night
Physical-fur, teeth, large eyes
Organisms have a role
A niche that they do call their own

Animals fighting for it all their life
They are struggling so they donโ€™t die
Thatโ€™s how an organism stays alive
Producers and consumers
Webs and chains, decomposers

Competition for space and food they fight
Predation it is to take a life
And then thereโ€™s symbiosis all three kinds
Mutualism, parasitism
Third in chain, commensalism

Producers and consumers
Webs and chains, decomposers

Mutualism, parasitism
Third in chain, commensalism

Symbiosis interactions at least one bestowed
Mutualism both are happy something gained by both
Parasitism benefits parasite not host
Commensalism, one helped, other neutral

Itโ€™s like a lion or shark hunting for a soul
Predation, prey and predator-populations controlled
Competition is the struggle to survive Iโ€™m told
Like food, water, shelter, watch them battle

Animals fighting for it all their life
They are struggling so they donโ€™t die
Thatโ€™s how an organism stays alive
Producers and consumers
Webs and chains, decomposers

Competition for space and food they fight
Predation it is to take a life
And then thereโ€™s symbiosis all three kinds
Mutualism, parasitism
Third in chain, commensalism

Producers and consumers
Webs and chains, decomposers

Mutualism, parasitism
Third in chain, commensalism

Animals fighting for it all their life
They are struggling so they donโ€™t die
Thatโ€™s how an organism stays alive

Lyrics:
Contains your genetic code
DNA, a molecule that makes up all your chromosomes
double helix structure, a two-stranded spiral
set of instructions for your cells so that they know
what to do like send nerve signals and make new bones

making proteins from acids, amino
a complete set of genetic instructions is a genome
nucleotides make chains and have three things that theyโ€™re composed
a 1. phosphate 2. nitrogen base, and 3. deoxyribose

each nucleotide base is made up from these four:
(A) Adenine, (G) Guanine, (T) Thymine, (C) Cytosine and thatโ€™s all
A always pairs with T, thatโ€™s the base pair rule
and C always pairs with G, thatโ€™s the way they go

deoxyribonucleic
DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid yah
deoxyribonucleic
DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid

These complementary bases, each on opposite strands
You can remember the pairs by the mnemonic GCAT
tightly controlled complex process to make a protein from a gene
It goes transcription and translation: two major steps in the journey
transcription takes information, transfers to mRNA
messenger moves to the nucleus, and onto the next stage
that is called Translation
happens in the cytoplasm, ribosomes read the codons
tRNA makes proteins one acid amino at a time

deoxyribonucleic
DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid yeah
deoxyribonucleic
DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid

Lyrics:
Thinking about cells
They can reproduce and divide all by themselves
One of two division forms known as mitosis
A mother cell divides into two identical daughters, perfect copy
Remember this, two identical copies, K?
Two sets of chromosomes, nucleus DNA
Most cell divisions in your bodyโ€™s system used for your development
And old cells that get worn out, mitosis makes perfect copies, ah

Letโ€™s start with the interphase
Right before mitosis takes place
The DNA within the cell is copied
And centrosomes copied, the role this will play is a key

And now we move to the prophase
where chromosomes condense into x-shapes
mitotic spindle grows, extends to opposite poles
And hey, dissolve the nuclear membrane

Metaphase is the next one
Chromosomes spindle into the middle and then theyโ€™re all lined up
Every chromosome has two kinetochores
With microtubules secured to opposite spindle poles

Hey, and how we on to the Anaphase
When sister chromatids separate
Thanks to the motor proteins
Moving along microtubules as molecular machines

Oh hello, Mr. Telo (phase!)
Almost done dividing into two, then onto cell growth
That mitotic spindle disappear
And new nuclei start to form here and here

And when the cytoplasm splits
Concurrent with telophase, itโ€™s called cytokinesis
Itโ€™s different whether your cell is in plants or animals
Just remember after this, you have two identical cells

Inter, Pro, Meta
Ana, Telophase

Inter, Pro, Meta
Ana, Telophase

Greg Mendel and Meiosis Song. Here is a video I created for my 6th grade science students๏ปฟ to help them study.I hope you enjoy. Greg Mendel

Greg Mendel
Greg Mendel

He did it again, so I'm gonna let the beat drop

Greg Mendel

Mendel had a
Mendel had a
Mendel had a


Chorus

Mendel had a garden
There's so many different pea plants
They had different kinds of seeds
Some green and some were yellow
Then he thought, Oh my gosh, different traits
He found heredity, he makes me wanna say
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Greg Mendel

Chant (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) He makes me wanna say

Chant (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


Mendel made a wise decision when he chose to study peas
They are either really t-t-tall or short, and droppin' low
Mendel crossbred pea plants they were either tall or small
Parent Generation; this is what he called them
All of the plant offspring were tall, tall, tall
He was so surprised he said, Wow, oh, wow
Then F-Generation, pollinated themselves
Tall, tall, tall, Small, But how could that be 'cause
None of the parents were small
Then he checked for other traits
Color, seed coat, and all, and all, and all


Chorus

It's dominant, recessive genes
Alleles control inheritance
Let's set up a Punnett Square
Genetic possibilities
Phenotype is physical, visible
But Genetic Mix is Genotype,
He makes me wanna' say
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Greg Mendel

Chant (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ) He makes me wanna say

Chant (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh), He makes me wanna say, Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


Meiosis is where cells will split to end with half the number
Chromosomes for sex cells, egg and sperm pair with each other
Every chromosome is copied, they're held together,

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Meiosis 1

Pairs line up the middle then, spread apart
Two cells form with half the number, split apart
Chromosomes are double stranded-not for long

This is all repeated in Meiosis 2
Centromeres split each strand into two
Four sex cells have been produced
Now with a chromosome, from each, first pair.


Half-time Chorus

Mendel had a garden
There's so many different pea plants
They had different kinds of seeds
Some green and some were yellow
Then he thought, Oh my gosh, different traits
He found heredity, he makes me wanna say
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Greg Mendel

Chant (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Greg Mendel

SUMMARY: This video teaches about the process of mitosis. Mitosis is a process of cell division where a single cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It consists of several stagesโ€”prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophaseโ€”followed by cytokinesis, ensuring equal distribution of chromosomes to each new cell.

LYRICS
Interphase is cell division's longest part,
nuclear membrane's intact as it starts,
The cell's growing, cytoplasm flowing,
chromosomes get duplicated, DNA gets replicated

Chromosomes are spread out so they can't be seen distinctly
But note the nucleolus, the ribosome factory
Outside the nucleus are two centrosomes,
They later make a spindle which will pull apart the chromosomes.

Prophase follows, the chromosomes condense,
Each is made of two sister chromatids, (looks) like an "X"
Each sister is a clone, the closest of kin,
And a centromere connects them like siamese twins,

The nucleolus disappears it melts away,
as the cell takes a ribosome production holiday,
the centrosomes separate, start spindle formation
for separating chromatids and cell elongation.

CHORUS
Mitosis, chromosomal ride
Inter-, pro-, meta-, ana-, telophase, divide
Eukaryotes go from one cell to two,
Mitosis, how cells renew.

In late prophase --prometaphase,
The nuclear membrane disintegrates,
The centrosomes migrate to the cell's opposing sides,
And between them the fibers of the spindle wend and wind,

The spindle's made of microtubule fibers which attach
to chromosomes at kinetochores, a protein patch
that serves like a handle that the fibers can grasp,
When they pull apart the chromosomes, splitting them in half,

The spindle moves the chromosomes with nudges so fine,
Into linear formation on the 50 yard line
A location equatorial defining metaphase,
where the chromosomes are lined up on that middle place

CHORUS

The spindle fibers pull on the kinetochores,
A cellular molecular mitotic tug of war,
The centromere snaps, sisters get separated,
Now these chromatids are chromosomes, they've been upgraded

This snapping separation defines anaphase
The "A" for "apartness", for moving different ways,
Kinetochore spindle fibers separate the sisters
See 'em waving goodbye, calling out "I'm gonna miss ya,"

And the other spindle fibers push and grapple like felons
Makes the cell elliptical like a watermelon,
In telophase membranes form 'round the chromosomes
Which spread out as the nucleoli come on home

CHORUS

In animal cells there's a ring of micofilaments
that form at the equator and they cinch themselves in
Tighter, tighter, tighter, tighter 'til the cell is in two pieces,
Yeah in animals, that's cytokinesis

But it's different in plants in them the cell divides
By building a new cell wall from the inside
As the Golgi sends vesicles with cellulosic goo,
Which makes a plate, then a wall, divides the cell in two

And instead of one mother cell we now have daughters two
Identical twins, kind of old but kind of new,
From your single celled beginning this is how you grew
And for single celled eukaryotes it's reproductive too!

Photosynthesis is composed of two parts: the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (also known as the light-independent reactions) This captivating video explains the light reactions in a simple, understandable way. See, step by step, how the plant uses energy from the sun to produce ATP and NADPH, the energy-rich compounds the Calvin cycle needs to produce sugar. Watch how oxygen gas is formed and released to the air during this process - the very oxygen that sustains life on Earth! Suitable for high school and higher ed students.

The Cell Theory Song
Mr. Tamez

Lyrics:

CHORUS
All living things are composed of cells
Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things
New cells are produced from existing cells

VERSE 1
Back then was a guy named Hooke, cut some cork and he had a look
Underneath his microscope tiny rooms that he saw in groups
Empty rooms that looked like shells He's the one that called them cells
Listen up cause we're not done Cell theory had just begun
Add one scientist to know the inventor of the microscope
Anton von Leeuwenhoek saw cells move and he was like "That's dope"

PRE CHORUS
Cell theory, cell theory, cell theory, cell theory, cell theory, go!

VERSE 2
If you thought this was complete take a breath and have a seat
Two scientists to have their say Schleiden and Schwann to save the day
Schleiden said all plants have cells they are alive and we can tell
The next year Mr. Schwann could see all animals have cells that live and breathe
Oh they live and breathe Live and breathe

BRIDGE
In 1855, Rudolph Virchow proposed that all cells
Come from other cells
This was the final discovery
That ended cell theory cell theory

Lyrics:

If you're in a cell's cytoplasm, heading outside,
Your last stop's a barrier, 8 nanometers wide,
The cell membrane: our subject for today
It's as basic to life as DNA

It's Selectively permeable, like a border patrol
of a country it maintains control.
Selecting what leaves or what gains entry
It's a guard, bouncer, watchman, patrolman or sentry.

But not just a guard, it sends signals in nerves
White blood cells use their membranes to eat germs like hors d'oeuvres,
Membranes have receptors, enzymes and junctions,
So what kinds of structure can have all these functions?

CHORUS
C-E double L, "Mem" B-R-A-N-E
Controlling transport selective permeability
Phospholipids, Carbohydrates, Proteins and Cholesterol
The Fluid Mosaic Bilayer in us all

So let's take a look at what makes up the membrane,
Phospholipids rule this domain,
In fact membrane structure emerges directly
from phospholipids' chemical properties.

There's a head and a tail on every phospholipid,
The tail's two long chain fatty acids
Bound to a glycerol, it's made to order
The tail's non-polar --hydrophobic-- fears water

The head's got a phosphate, it's charged negatively,
makes the head hydrophilic--plays in water happily
So tail avoids water while the head's attracted to it,
When phospholipids form the membrane that's how they do it.

Cause when phospholipids into water get submerged,
A phospholipid bilayer structure will emerge
The tails hang together in a water free zone,
Hear their hydrophobic moan, "water leave me alone!"

While the heads are sticking out touching all those H2Os
Tails in, heads out, it's how every membrane goes
Tails in, heads out, in a cellular sphere,
It's the bilayered basis of membranes everywhere.

CHORUS

But a cell membrane's not just a phospholipid scene
There's cholesterol, carbohydrates, lots of proteins.
In fact, membrane proteins have a presence so great,
that they often exceed the phospholipids by weight.

And all of these components are in constant motion,
Moving, mixing like a boiling potion,
Flowing like dancers in a party in Pasaic
That's why the membrane's thought of as a fluid mosaic.

Let's start with proteins since they're key in this mix.
Transmembrane proteins span the entire width.
Typically they're ports--think of channels or conveyors,
For things that don't go through the lipid bilayer.

Any protein embedded in the hydrophobic middle
Built right into the inside is considered integral
While peripheral proteins either hang on the exterior,
Or inside on the cytoplasmic interior.

Cholesterol keeps membranes flowing with ease,
In cold it keeps the lipids moving so they don't freeze,
In heat it slows the lipids down limiting their traveling,
Cholesterol: it keeps membranes from unraveling

Membrane carbohydrates work as markers or signs
So your immune system knows which flag your cells are flyin'
The blood types AB, O, and B and A
Are about the carbohydrates on red blood cell membranes.

CHORUS

Here is a song I created for my 6th grade science students. I hope you enjoy

Molecules through the membrane
Selectively permeable part
Diffusion where molecules moving
High to low is this sort

They tell me water p****es out and in
Through the permeable membrane
Well osmosis how the diffusion of water goes by
Water that cells need

In diffusion molecules moving
Goes from higher to the lower
Osmosis water p****ing in/out
Of cells makes it swell or get small

So both these types don't need energy
They are forms of p****ive transport
Active while moving from low to high
Requires use energy to cross

Cell absorbing substance from the world
Cell membrane will p**** objects
Both the in and out is p****ive transport
No energy for process

What if cell needs to use power to run
move molecules in reverse?
Active transport use special proteins
Picks up and immerse

In diffusion molecules moving
Goes from higher to the lower
Osmosis water p****ing in/out
Of cells makes it swell or get small

So both these types don't need energy
They are forms of p****ive transport
Active while moving from low to high
Requires use energy to cross

Requires energy to cross
Requires energy to cross
Requires energy to cross
Requires energy
