One important aspect of plants is photosynthesis! Plants help the environment by taking in carbon dioxide and by releasing oxygen needed by us humans. I chose this picture because sunflowers are my favorite kind of flowering plant, and they undergo photosynthesis like most plants do. ]]> 2018-01-12 02:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jduarte21/i88jfdybrhrh/wish/220840770 jduarte21 https://padlet.com/jduarte21/i88jfdybrhrh/wish/225719118 Photosynthesis can be a difficult process to understand! I chose this video because it is cute, short, and to the point. This video exactly explains the process of photosynthesis from beginning to end. ]]> 2018-01-29 16:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jduarte21/i88jfdybrhrh/wish/225719118 jduarte21 https://padlet.com/jduarte21/i88jfdybrhrh/wish/232642409 This angiosperm is commonly known as the hairy rattleweed. Its scientific name is Baptisia arachnifera. I chose this plant because according to the University of Georgia, this flowing plant is "federally listed as an endangered species"( Coder 1). Also, I learned that this plant "is found in only two counties in Georgia" (Coder 1). Reference:

This is considered to be a cold desert biome. I chose this biome because I believe it is in most danger. Due to climate change on earth, most of it's glaciers are melting off, and the temperatures are slowly rising. The animals in this environment are having a hard time adapting to these changes, and as glaciers keep melting, sea levels keep rising. ]]> 2018-03-02 04:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jduarte21/i88jfdybrhrh/wish/237279646 jduarte21 https://padlet.com/jduarte21/i88jfdybrhrh/wish/243794173 The Neolithic Revolution era was very important and had many negative and positive impacts. One positive impact was the expansion of agriculture. The map diagram below depicts the growth of crops and their expansion. This expansion allowed everyone to share ideas in agriculture. Also, domesticating plants allowed the decrease of migration and an increase in population. Therefore, more food allowed them to increase their population to feed that bigger population.]]> 2018-03-19 23:27:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jduarte21/i88jfdybrhrh/wish/243794173 jduarte21 https://padlet.com/jduarte21/i88jfdybrhrh/wish/248595699 One innovation of the Third Agriculture Revolution was the development and the use of fertilizer. I chose this image because it shows the use of fertilization being used on the crops. Fertilization was used massively in the third Agricultural Revolution.  ]]> 2018-04-04 17:18:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jduarte21/i88jfdybrhrh/wish/248595699 jduarte21 https://padlet.com/jduarte21/i88jfdybrhrh/wish/252360410 This website list types of plants used in chemicals and medicines. From the list I chose Morphine because it is very commonly prescribed as painkillers. Morphine can also be very addictive type of drug. ]]> 2018-04-16 22:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jduarte21/i88jfdybrhrh/wish/252360410 jduarte21 https://padlet.com/jduarte21/i88jfdybrhrh/wish/256305153 This picture shows earth and the affects of trash build up. I chose this picture because in the far future, we can have serious affects on our planet if we do not recycle. Recycling can reduce the amount of waste in landfills.  ]]> 2018-04-29 14:13:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jduarte21/i88jfdybrhrh/wish/256305153
