Cosmetic testing takes the lives of millions of innocent animals each year. Animals that get cosmetic testing sit in cold laboratory's waiting with fear for another cold blooded experiment. Animal testing should be illegal in order for animals to stop suffering. Animals should not be used for cosmetic testing…

Seward fungus: mushrooms among us Seward Alaska is a temperate rainforest, and since my return from the east coast I have noticed quite a few crazy looking mushrooms lurking in the moss. Most are very poisonous, but some are not. It’s safe to say that I am definitely not a mycologist, and am extremely under qualified to give any sort of advice to aspiring mushroom hunters; however I am authorized to say that Seward a prime fungus foraging area. Our average rainfall is about 75 inches a year,…

Photosynthesis happens when water is absorbed by the roots of green plants and is carried to the leaves by the xylem, and carbon dioxide is obtained from air that enters the leaves through the stomata and diffuses to the cells that have chlorophyll. In our experiment we tested how different colored lights would affect how fast the rate of photosynthesis would happen. The rate of photosynthesis is affected by the different wavelengths of light a plant is exposed to because different pigments in…

either intentionally or accidentally and can very quickly and aggressively reproduce and take over an area. Plants that are considered to be invasive have certain characteristics in common that makes them invasive such as: they produce many seeds, grow vigorously, and have few predators or competition for resources (light, water, nutrients, etc.). Garlic mustard is a good example of an invasive plant. Originally brought over from Europe to North America by early European settlers, the herb was…

If we were to tear down a forest for our own human profit then the consequences come with it. Chevron trying to sell the property for such a ridiculous price so that the city can’t buy it is in their own way saying that they are not willing to give up on this decision. The destruction of nature is only one of many problems that will arise…
