    My only complaint with this video is that there is no image of the cycle. it really helps to see the cycles. viewers could pause and examine them too.

      if you were explaining the ABC's to a child would you show things that started with "A" "B" and "C" but never show the characters of the ABC's?.....I mean im not like mad or anything im just pointing it out..

    • @moimoi819
      @moimoi819 9 років тому +13

      Sure. that's understandable. but as an adult, if you know that you need visuals to help you understand, is it so hard to search them out rather than have it handed to you like a child would require??

    Honestly, I've almost always had science teachers that don't really explain/teach the material. They usually just tell us what we're supposed to be learning, give us a busy-work activity, and expect us to learn the material at home in time for the next test. Finally, about a quarter of the way into my freshman bio class, I discovered Hank's videos and they've been a total life-saver! Thanks to these videos I have excelled in my science courses despite having lazy teachers and am much better prepared for a future career in science. Thank you for making me love science!

    I was procrastinating by watching mental floss, and dreading learning about the nitrogen cycle. I was pleasantly surprised with how interesting and helpful you were. How wonderfully ironic that it's two brothers that are the devil and angel on my shoulder.

    This video is helping me for my AP Bio presentation, where I need to present all four cycles and teach my whole class about it. Right when I started the video it kept stopping and reloading during the part he was saying, "There's nothing quite so terrible as needing something right in front of you, but not being able to get it." Coincidence at its finest. Anyways, thank you very much Hank, you really helped my understanding!

    in portuguese we also use "legumes" as a general term for "vegetables". for most people (at least here in Brazil), legumes are corn, carrots, potatoes and anything else that is vegetable appart from rice, beans (a real legume) or a leaf (those are "verduras").
