Midwestern states that has a Mediterranean climates. Under the Vernal pools, bedrock or a hard clay soil could be found. That helps the water to be in place. Vernal Pools are also a home for many aquatic, and land animal species. There are approximately 33 plant and animal species present in vernal pools. 20 of them are considered endangered by the federally. Due to the dramatic changes in the climate, and weather the vernal pools face a lot of changes in its appearance. The water in the…

Visual Analysis Essay Bulldozers are often contributed to collapsed buildings, demolition, and destruction. Many of the images conjured up in our imaginations will represent the negative impact that bulldozers can be responsible for. The image from the advertisement in Global Issues, Local Arguments on page 262, created by the group called Californian’s for Population Stabilization, shows an image of a bulldozer surrounded by toppled trees in a lush, green forest with a heading directly above…

the Snow Forest – is a fascinating environmental phenomenon; spanning from North America to Eurasia in the highest latitudes, the taiga is an unbelievably difficult place to live, and plants and animals must be uniquely suited to handle the harsh climate and terrain. Surprisingly, there are a number of different plants that can endure the long, brutal winters and short, fleeting summers of the taiga, and they range from large pines to tiny lichens, each serving a role in this amazing ecosystem. …

process where plants use light energy and convert it into chemical energy is called photosynthesis. Plants have parts of them like the chlorophyll that is present inside the chloroplast that soak in light starting a process that will end up making ATP. Carbohydrates within the plants are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water. When photosynthesis occurs then sunlight is turned into sugar and this sugar is kept in the molecular bonds of the sugar molecules that are present within the plant.…

When I was little, I was not like the other girls. I had decided to trade my barbies for beetles. My favorite pastime consisted of marching to the empty field next to my house, armed with a butterfly net and a bug cage, to catch grasshoppers. I would use them as bait when I went fishing with my dad, as food for my praying mantis, or as points in a contest with my friends. This fascination has stuck with me as I have grown up. From the roly polies and lady bugs I caught in my backyard to the…

Unit Goal: Students will be able state what they can do by the end of this unit.

Day 1: Learning Objective: At the conclusion of this lesson, students will learn the life cycle of the pumpkin, and…

In trying to plan a home garden it made me realize as to how much planning needs to go into it. One of the first steps that need to be taken is deciding how big of a garden you want as well as to how you will organize your plots. Once you have decided that the next step one should take is deciding what crops you want to grow. Depending on the crops that you choose may affect how you wish to lay out your garden. Once you know what crops you wish to grow you than need to decide how you will manage…

Photosynthesis is the process where energy from the sun gets converted into glucose for the plant to use as food. The energy from the sun gets trapped in the chloroplasts and together with carbon dioxide and water, it is turned into glucose and oxygen. The glucose eventually gets used as energy for the plant to live and the oxygen is a waste product that is released. The oxygen is used by humans during cellular respiration. Photosynthesis began over 2 billion years ago when an organism first…

when looking at spinach. The same spinach plant was tested under different light environments (no light, white light, red light and green light). A control cuvette was used to compare the rate of photosynthesis to those of the color transmittance cuvette. Before collecting the data we learned about plants and light absorption. We learned the reason why plants are green is because it emits green color and the other transmitted colors are absorbed by the plant. Using our new information we created…

Marine Wildlife Do you think marine wildlife are endangered? What can we do to help the endangered wildlife? For anyone who watched Finding Nemo about a clownfish stolen from his home under the sea, the moral of the movie is to leave marine wildlife in the ocean where it belongs.
