This rotting tree becomes a food source for insects, and they in turn might provide a meal for me. There, right there is exactly what I'm looking for. These are just crawling out of it as I'm cutting open this log. There could be hundreds of these inside.

Look at that! These are the larvae of the Capricorn beetle, and they've been developing inside this rotting wood for several months. Oh god, there you go! They are literally pouring out of this! SEO! Ah, wow, they bite too! Look at those jaws, man! There are a lot of these in that log.

I can carry with me and store them for later, but the ones that got damaged in the process, like that one, it's still biting but it's all broken up. That would rot immediately! Yep, yeah, tastes like that fermented wood! God, oh, here's another one! Yeah, that one, it's just going to go rotten right away.

Alright, crunchy head, just power through it. But you want to make sure you crunch the head because they just bite your tongue if you don't. So, and that might be the protein that's going to keep me alive out here. I take the rest with me alive.

In a world without refrigeration, it's the only way to keep them from spoiling. I've now got food! I decide to stay in the forest and make camp. I find a place above the water line where I can construct a shelter and get to work.

Gel electrophoresis | Biomolecules | MCAT | Khan Academy

Let’s say that you have some vials here, and you know that in the solution you have fragments of DNA in each of these. What you’re curious about is, well, what about the DNA fragments in this first vial, in vial number one? How long are those fragments? H…

Factoring higher degree polynomials | Algebra 2 | Khan Academy

There are many videos on Khan Academy where we talk about factoring polynomials, but what we’re going to do in this video is do a few more examples of factoring higher degree polynomials. So let’s start with a little bit of a warm-up. Let’s say that we wa…

The Ice Thumpers | Continent 7: Antarctica

CHRISTIAN OHNEISER: I’m pretty certain that we’re going to lose the actual ice shelf itself and parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet at some point in the future. It will turn into water. But it’s where that water goes and how much of it turns actually in…

Finding derivative with fundamental theorem of calculus: chain rule | AP®︎ Calculus | Khan Academy

Let’s say that we have the function capital F of x, which we’re going to define as the definite integral from 1 to sine of x. So that’s an interesting upper bound right over there of 2t minus 1, and of course dt. What we are curious about is trying to fi…

Justification with the intermediate value theorem: equation | AP Calculus AB | Khan Academy

Let g of x equal one over x. Can we use the intermediate value theorem to say that there is a value c such that g of c is equal to zero and negative one is less than or equal to c is less than or equal to one? If so, write a justification. So in order t…

Worked example: Rewriting expressions by completing the square | High School Math | Khan Academy

Let’s see if we can take this quadratic expression here, ( x^2 + 16x + 9 ), and write it in this form. You might be saying, “Hey Sal, why do I even need to worry about this?” One, it is just good algebraic practice to be able to manipulate things. But as…
