Salamander

Many of the tasks that multi-cellular organisms perform are truly inspiring, from embryogenesis to organogenesis and other developmental processes. Developmental biology covers some of the most interesting procedures of the formation and transformation of living beings.

When I first began reading Fahrenheit 451 I was skeptical of how it would turn out. As I read the book I noticed that there was a lot of figurative language. As soon as I noticed this I knew that I had to add it to my essay.

Even today, on our usual route to go down to the scenic beach, Trixi had managed to ‘discovered’ a new salamander. “Look Hexa! Look at what I found!” Trixi exclaimed excitedly. “Look at it!…

Indiana Caverns/Corydon Expedition Corydon, Indiana Friday, August 7, 2015- Indiana Caverns is an amazing place to go.

Before you go on the tour with Andrew, early to late twenties, who had dark hair, very enthusiastic with people, as well as being very polite, and lets kids hold his flashlight in the cave, you get your…

During the fieldtrip, which was held Thursday, February 22, I have made a lot of realization. Thronateeska and The Flint Riverquarium supplied me with an abundance of information on the Earth and beyond it. Now I have knowledge on how the solar system and the Earth was created, fossils and other science materials, the dangers of plastic, and creatures living amongst us humans. This was a very thrilling experience for me and I can’t wait until I can visit again. When I was watching the first…

A lot of Christmas jokes had been made, but John didn’t really care…
