They give us oxygen to breathe in the first place. We can cut down trees to make a house and burn firewood to stay warm, as the picture shows. We can also eat fruit to nourish our bodies. ]]> 2019-01-10 17:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jscott391/ffxhej30s2ks/wish/319364009 jscott391 https://padlet.com/jscott391/ffxhej30s2ks/wish/323601131 I chose this video because the graphics are colorful, yet simple. It goes into the details of photosynthesis without overwhelming the viewer. The instructor speaks in a calm manner without shouting or rushing through like Crash Course videos sometimes do. Overall, it is a well put together video that I think would be helpful to learn how photosynthesis works. ]]> 2019-01-23 18:18:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jscott391/ffxhej30s2ks/wish/323601131 jscott391 https://padlet.com/jscott391/ffxhej30s2ks/wish/327946606 This particular bellflower is an Angiosperm that is native to Georgia. Its taxonomic name is Campanula dzaaku. The website I used has several different examples of plants, insects, and arthropods that are native to Georgia.

First, there is a deforestation problem occurring in this biome. Less trees there mean less oxygen for the planet and less habitats for the wildlife that live there. There is also a smuggling problem happening there. People steal plants and animals from tropical rainforests and try to sell them. This leads to a decline in animal populations, which could result in the extinction of several species. ]]> 2019-02-18 02:20:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jscott391/ffxhej30s2ks/wish/332208699 jscott391 https://padlet.com/jscott391/ffxhej30s2ks/wish/337599583 The is a graph of the world population before and after the First Agricultural Revolution. Once the Revolution took place, there was an obvious spike in population numbers. Before, there were only around 10 million people. After the revolution, the population increased to hundreds of millions of people, all thanks to plant domestication. Since there was no more need to migrate for food, people were able to settle down and grow their own crops. This eventually led to civilizations and towns being created.

It further explained and provided visuals for fallowing. This process would help crops prosper when rotated the following year. It also talked about the impact of Jethro Tull's seed drill. This invention would help seeds stay in the ground instead of blowing away in the wind, which would produce larger yields. ]]> 2019-03-19 16:13:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jscott391/ffxhej30s2ks/wish/342947195 jscott391 https://padlet.com/jscott391/ffxhej30s2ks/wish/347392062 Caffeine is used by most people on a daily basis. 90% of Americans have at least one caffeinated drink each day. Caffeine is used in thousands of products in stores and restaurants across the country. Many people consider themselves to be dependent on caffeine. ]]> 2019-04-01 20:49:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jscott391/ffxhej30s2ks/wish/347392062 jscott391 https://padlet.com/jscott391/ffxhej30s2ks/wish/352057724 This is what I imagine the world will look like if practices go unchecked and global warming continues. The world will reach unbearable temperatures. All wildlife and plants will be gone. There will be droughts and wildfires everywhere. Humans will quickly die because of the heat and lack of resources. ]]> 2019-04-16 17:26:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jscott391/ffxhej30s2ks/wish/352057724
