Deeper Learning Dive

To learn more about a topic that we are unclear about, NEW students began a deeper learning dive where we find a video and try to understand said topic. The video inserted above is from a channel called Teacher's Pet, a channel with a little over 20 thousand subscribers that posts quick science videos for students. The channel is run by a science teacher in California and has been around for about a year and a half on YouTube. The quality of these videos is great and the information is accurate and helpful.

From this video I learned that the study of ecology is basically the study of how organisms relate to one another and to the environment around them. Interdependence is when the survival of a species is dependent on another living organism or nonliving component. An ecosystem is where like a community where organisms react with their environment. A biotic factor is the living part of a habitat while an abiotic factor is the nonliving part of a habitat.

This video helped me as a learned mostly because of the visuals, being able to see pictures and examples while it was being taught to me really helped me to understand the information. The teacher that speaks in the video uses a very clear tone that's at a perfect pace so that I could understand what she was saying, she was not speaking too fast or too slow. Finally, the video was the perfect length and gave just the right amount of information. The video was almost 5 minutes long which is perfect because the video wasn't feeding me so much information to the point where I was overwhelmed, but it also did not leave anything out.
