The carrying capacity of Wisconsin Fast Plants (Brassica Rapa) in a 2-liter bottle growing environment Introduction In this lab we conducted an experiment in which we created a habitat in which plants grown; We will determine if the plants will grow successfully in this habitat. We will plant “Wisconsin Fast Plant”seeds, also known as (Brassica Rapa). The Wisconsin Fast Plants are a small, fragile sized plant that has a short growing period and produces seeds at a high density. We will observe them as frequently as possible and record the heights each day we make observations.…
In “ The Scarlet Ibis” and “Marigolds” the themes within them show choices and the consequences of their actions affects other people's lives. For example, in “Marigolds” ,Lizabeth “ leaped furiously into the mounds of marigolds and pulled madly, trampling and pulling and destroying the perfect yellow blooms”. In “The Scarlet Ibis”, “Brother, Brother, don't leave me! Don't leave me!...…
The Gloriosa superba, also known as the Glory Lily is a scrambling tuberous perennial climber that can grow up to four metres tall (weeds.brisbane.qld.gov.au). It’s Shiny bright green leaves are arranged alternatively along the stem (weeds.brisbane.qld.gov.au) and long tendrils curl at the tip of the herbaceous weed (weeds.dpi.nsw.gov.au). Bright red and orange flowers make it a very distinctive plant and is rarely confused with other species (Keysaver.lucidental.org). The flowers are always made up six pedals which have wavy edges and are strongly turned backwards to support the stems (weeds.brisbane.qld.gov.au).…
After completing this experiment, I reject the hypotheses that when the amount of dish soap is increased in the water and duckweed solution, there will be more fronds of duckweed because the phosphorus and nitrogen in the dish soap will cause eutrophication and increased growth in the duckweed. There was not a significant (20%or more) difference in growth in any of the jars. The expected results were that jar B would have the most growth of duckweed because it was the most concentrated with dish soap, so there was more nitrogen and phosphorus in the jar to cause eutrophication. The expected result was that with every jar that had a smaller concentration of dish soap, there would be a smaller increase in duckweed growth. The actual experiment…
The article “Building the Troost Wall”, the film Do the Right Thing, and the film Our Divided City all share common issues and shows inequality. The main urban issue that these three share deals with racial inequality. These two films and article shows how different discourses affect each other. All of the rhetors in these examples have their own discourse, but they have similar forms of life which is an example of how these texts and images relate to each other. “Building the Troost Wall” explains how an imaginary wall was built on Troost to show the segregation in Southeast Kansas City.…
The Limulus polyphemus has a primitive blood. According to Bang & Levin (n.d.) the Atlantic horseshoe crab blood carries oxygen and has a special pigment that is a protein called hemocyanin. Homo sapien blood has a very similar protein in it called hemoglobin that makes the blood red from iron in the blood.…
Green plants are multicellular, autotrophic eukaryotes. They use their roots to absorb nutrients and water from the soil. “Fast Plants are a type of crucifer (a large group of plants that includes mustard, radish, cabbage, and more) that have been bred and selected to have a uniform, short flowering time (14 days) and grow well under in a small indoor space, with little soil, under artificial lights”(The Story of Fast Plants). Wisconsin fast plant are plants that grow at a very high speed rate. Their scientific name is Brassica rapa.…
Mead's milkweed: Scientific Name: Asclepias meadii The Mead's Milkweed grow in upland tallgrass prairie or glade/barren habitat. All the Mead's milkweed sites in Wisconsin are reintroduction attempts and occur on protected conservation lands. Mead’s milkweed is a perennial plant of the tallgrass prairies. It was listed as threatened in 1988.…
Since 1988 the plant Crupina vulgaris or the Common Crupina has been listed as a class A weed, it has invaded many parts of the Western United States, its has become a growing concern for many as it can grow quickly and is difficult to get rid of. C. vulgaris is native to Mediterranean Europe. It is a flowering plant, or angiosperm from the family Asteraceae, that can grow up to three feet tall. The stems of the plant are leafy and rigid with small spines and rounded 1/2 inch leaves near the bottom and dark lacy 4 inch leaves on the stem. The flowers of the Common Crupina are clustered on the stems, they are thin, lavender and shaped like a vase.…
The primary sources of my research involve the immigrants themselves. The narrative from Camelia Palafox involves her first-hand experience coming to the United States which illustrates the social anxiety that she and her family experience as Hispanic immigrants along the border. The Pew Research Center focuses on those migrating to the United States from 1960 to 2010 by using trend graphs and shows that there has been an increasing number of immigrants coming into the United either legally or illegally, but this source also shows various other trends involving the immigrants such as their median age, gender, socioeconomic standing and nationality. Additionally, Guilherme Gorges and others focus on the increased risk of substance abuse among…
In conclusion, this particular utility box created by Adolfo R. Gonzalez is my favorite in result of how inspirational it is.

It's a reminder and alert to the people of the community and the vistors of the coumminty. It's also a spark of hope that'll keep someone going, someone like…
Inspired by the International Garden Festival at Chaumont-Sur-Loire in France, these aren’t your ordinary suburban backyard gardens. Instead, you’ll find sculpted cumulus clouds hovering over an undulating landscape, a serenity garden, a wall that pays homage to migrant…
The Great Wall What makes a player earn the nickname “The Great Wall”. Yao Ming is a basketball player from China who played for the Houston Rockets, reaches 7’6” tall, dominated the NBA during his short eight season career, and was named “The Great Wall” because of his size and his talent. Finally having a promising Asian player in the NBA, a lot of Asians, and especially Chinese people hopped onto the bandwagon and supported him. So even though Yao had to move to a new country where he couldn’t even communicate with his team due to a language barrier, he flourished into a superstar and dominated the league humbly.…
Figure 4.16, Cranes by Ogata Korin. This folding screen is one of two, and was created around the year 1700, using ink and colors over gold and silver leaf on paper. This functional work of art really stood out to me because of its simplicity. The repetition and rhythm of this piece is interesting because of the subtle variety of the cranes. No two are exactly alike if you look closely and that adds to the works grandeur.…
