Struggling to earn enough money to live, families often needed the children to drop out of school to work. The struggles of that era varied upon where the family lived during…

Geo Pod III CONS Good morning Madame speaker. Today I will be discussing the topic of why Canada should not sell water in bulk exports to other countries. The four points I will be discussing today will consist of: environmental consequences, economic instability, the free trade agreement, and water’s renewability. Water exports are a recurring, ever-controversial theme in Canada. Canadian public opinion has always reacted negatively to the idea of selling our most precious natural resource to…

Have you ever wanted to get awarded for your work and grades in school? Well that’s what is happening in some schools in the United states. I think this should be happening in more and more schools around the world for some pretty good reasons. First, some parents have very low income and they can not provide for their families and if you are getting paid for the good grades you earned you can use that money to help your family. Another thing is, some kids do not like do their work and with the…

The Rangifer Tarandus, better known as caribou or reindeer, is an herbivorous species living in the tundra. Tundras have a vastly cold climate, with limited vegetation.

Reindeer were first found in Norway and were only known as Reindeer, once people started realizing how beneficial the Reindeer were…

number of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.” Mitosis is a vital process to living organisms. Without mitosis, organisms could not grow, age, repair, or exist in general. Therefore, it is very important that the cell cycle is carefully controlled by the cell. This refers to is the limits set on cell division to prevent it from growing out of control, which are often special proteins.

Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sexually reproductive organisms that leads to the production of reproductive cells called gametes. The process of meiosis begins with a diploid (2n) cell, which has a full amount of chromosomes. For example, in humans, the diploid number is 46. Meiosis gives the end product of four haploid (n) gametes, which have half of the amount of DNA that their parent cells have. In humans, this haploid number is 23. The process of meiosis has many steps…

I dreaded coming into the “American Dream” unit. Part of my life and identity is put under the microscope so that my classmates from their seats of privilege can say “Wow, that really sucks.” while I am quietly sitting in the corner thinking “Yes, it really sucks.” However, despite my initial reluctance and discomfort, this unit has probably been my favorite. The material was familiar and personal. I zoned in on topics such as the education gap between the rich and poor, the barrier to college…
