We plant gardens and crops, which feed us and our livestock. Plants give us nutrients and oxygen; humans "give" plants carbon dioxide. Thus, we can sustain our environment and society. ]]> 2019-06-08 16:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/vhardy11/gl2eo36aj133/wish/366500770 vhardy11 https://padlet.com/vhardy11/gl2eo36aj133/wish/367504756 I chose this video because he gives a detailed explanation of photosynthesis. He examines this process step by step so I can have a better understanding how and why photosynthesis takes place. I am not always an auditory learner, so the visuals he adds in really help! ]]> 2019-06-13 23:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/vhardy11/gl2eo36aj133/wish/367504756 vhardy11 https://padlet.com/vhardy11/gl2eo36aj133/wish/368568415 Acer rubrum, or the red maple, is native to Georgia. It is one of the first trees to change color during the season change. They can grow from 40 feet to 90 feet tall. Their sap can be used to make maple syrup. ]]> 2019-06-21 00:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/vhardy11/gl2eo36aj133/wish/368568415 vhardy11 https://padlet.com/vhardy11/gl2eo36aj133/wish/369686635 The arctic tundra is the first biome that comes to mind when I think endangered. The tundra has many threats facing it, including climate change, air pollution, and industrial activity. The wildlife is dying here, with population of animals like the polar bear declining each year. There are some solutions to slowing down the process of killing this habitat, home, and ecosystem; for example, cutting the use of fossil fuels and creating protective restrictions on the endangered animals. ]]> 2019-06-30 01:39:26 UTC https://padlet.com/vhardy11/gl2eo36aj133/wish/369686635 vhardy11 https://padlet.com/vhardy11/gl2eo36aj133/wish/370268486 This diagram shows the development of agriculture during the Neolithic Revolution, based on the domestication of plants. The domestication had a significant impact on human life. Humans were able to create selective breeding and harvest. Thus, creating larger food supplies.]]> 2019-07-05 02:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/vhardy11/gl2eo36aj133/wish/370268486 vhardy11 https://padlet.com/vhardy11/gl2eo36aj133/wish/370638908 The invention of the steam tractor happened during the third agricultural revolution in the 1950s-60s. It helped with plowing and increase of productivity on farms. I chose the steam tractor because it was a significant invention/technological development for humans during this revolution. ]]> 2019-07-09 14:01:04 UTC https://padlet.com/vhardy11/gl2eo36aj133/wish/370638908 vhardy11 https://padlet.com/vhardy11/gl2eo36aj133/wish/371767286 Etoposide, derived from Podophyllum peltatum (mayapple), is used to treat cancer(s). I believe chemicals like this one, and others such as anti-tumor chemicals, are more influential than others. Cancer takes many lives, but there are chemicals embedded in medications to help stop cell reproduction and tumor growth. ]]> 2019-07-20 23:41:25 UTC https://padlet.com/vhardy11/gl2eo36aj133/wish/371767286 vhardy11 https://padlet.com/vhardy11/gl2eo36aj133/wish/372300385 If present day agricultural, economic, social, and political practices go unchecked, then this is the type of world we would be viewing in the future. We would no longer be able to sustain ourselves or the environment. There would be waste, thick air pollution, and decay in all aspects of life. This is why sustainability is so important today, because everything we do impacts our lives and environment for the future.]]> 2019-07-25 17:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/vhardy11/gl2eo36aj133/wish/372300385
