able to evolve to satisfy each other’s needs. In this particular case we are going to talk about the coevolution of hummingbirds and ornithophilous flowers. Plants are one of the most important species in our world. Mainly it helps us breathe that very fresh air we have today. Although it may seem to be impossible for one to think a simple plant can help us breathe. It is also another species that helps it reproduce and spread.

Discussion After finding oil leaking into the local river William was worried about the tadpoles. William already new oil is poisonous and that it can make animals sick. He showed scientific reasoning Dolan and Grady (2010), when I asked, “What do you think the oil does to the tadpoles?” he answered “Tadpoles will drink the oil and die or get sick. Their mums will miss them.” He realised what could happen to the tadpoles if they drink the oil. William noticed the oil sitting on top of the water…

three basil plants that will be watered differently, how much water will a basil plant need daily to stay healthy if I pour a quarter of a pitcher in plant A, a half pitcher in plant B, and one pitcher in plant C? Hypothesis: My assumption is that plant B will be the healthiest because it seems that plant A will have an insufficient amount of water, and plant C will have too much water, making the basil plant too turgid, resulting into temporary to permanent wilting, leading to plant B having…

After walking for miles, sweat trickled down my face as I sat on a damp log. I was unconvinced that an enormous feat could happen just underneath me, in silence. My eyes focused on the small bodied ants as if they were performers on stage. Methodically, the acrobatic ants clustered together and then sprang forward, grabbing each other in order to make an ant bridge. When I pose questions as to how something so peculiar could happen, I come to the realization that far greater powers are at play.…
