         <title>STUDENT EXAMPLE: What’s The Charge… For An Electric Car Charge?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This podcast is about electrical car charging and the price of the the charge. Before charging stations charged on time. They would charge based on how long the cars charge but different cars charge at different times. The podcast talks about what the people who run the chargers are doing to stop the complaining. The people who are running the chargers have charge the price of the car charge. Instead of charging by time they charge by the kilowatt hour(1,000 Watts an hour). The easier way of saying this is people who run the chargers are turning the charging stations into a gas station because gas stations charge by the gallon and the charging stations have a similar concept. the podcast also explains the business of the car charging company’s and how hotels are getting more visitors. The podcast explains that hotels with charging stations can get their guests to come. People who have electric cars want to stay in a hotel with a charging station instead of driving somewhere just so they change their car.  </div>]]></description>

         <title>STUDENT EXAMPLE: What is the best way to recover after a workout?</title>
         <author>MrsDove</author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>https://www.sciencefriday.com/topics/health/page/2/</div><div>If you are someone who enjoys working out outside or at the gym, you have to get used to the aches and pains that follow. Even though many of us have experienced soreness and tight muscles, we always have something to go to to relieve that pain. Maybe you use foam rollers or massage to help your tight muscles or maybe you ice. However, recent studies have shown that these things don’t actually help the recovery process at all! Although you may feel better for a short time after these things, it is your brain subconsciously telling you that it worked. Science writer Christie Aschwanden explains that most of things we do after the workout slows down the process of healing. For example, icing doesn’t help, all it does is help numb the inflammation, but inflammation is an important part of the healing process. Also, however I disagree, she says that stretching doesn’t help! I personally can feel the difference if I stretched one day and not the other, but she says that you can see or feel a-difference if stretch. So the next time you workout, you may want to rethink what you’ll do after you get home.<br><br><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>STUDENT EXAMPLE: Our Ancient Obsession With Capturing the Moon</title>
         <author>MrsDove</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/MrsDove/ic0i0fhy81pipiri/wish/692941561</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div><a href="https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/moon-art-history/">https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/moon-art-history/</a><br><br> My article is about our ancient obsession with the moon.  Since the beginning of time with wondering about the mystery of space but we’ve also wondering about one specific thing, the moon. The moon enforces gravity and pushes and pulls the tides.  It’s one of the many wonders of the world that we’ve seeked answers about since ancient times. <br> One of the very first movies was about the moon, it was extremely inaccurate,  but about the moon none the less.  Galileo and 1609 made his own conception of what the moon was like after looking through a telescope. Since then people at the side of the moon as a perfect, unblemished orb.  Until scientist proved them wrong of course.  The moon helped understand when to harvest, plant crops, etc…  it’s stirred fascination.  This article was interesting to me because the moon influence the imagination of humans and I wanted to know why. </div>]]></description>

         <title>A New Hope For Corals</title>
         <author>ashleyw4630</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/MrsDove/ic0i0fhy81pipiri/wish/693504053</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>This podcast talks about hope that corals in the years ahead. They tell you that for the past years coral has been slowly shrinking in numbers. As of now in 2020 there has been special developments in reproducing these corals. The podcasts explains that we can sexually restore coral. Depending on the sexual maturity of these coral can the coral actually reproduce. One interesting thing that the podcast talks about is that cutting through coral can "heal" the coral. They used the comparison that coral being cut and healed is like a humans skin. It can grow back by itself. In doing this we can make decades of corals in just a few years. This podcast interested me because I didn't even know coral was an endangered in the wild. </div>]]></description>

         <title>How Dogs are Helping Scientists Build a Smell Detector for Cancer</title>
         <author>sophiak3204</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/MrsDove/ic0i0fhy81pipiri/wish/693649245</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>This podcast was about how there is a possibility that dogs will now be able to sense cancer. They explained how dogs can sense cancer because of the odors the body releases. When your body has cancer, it starts producing chemicals from cancer cells that are released through your bloodstream and sweat. The process goes like this: scientists put samples from patients in little containers that they line up in a room for a dog to smell. The dog then comes in and if they sense cancer, they usually stick their nose in it a little longer. With practice, dogs can detect the cancer in a snap! The cancer that these dogs mostly detect is ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is actually the fifth most deadly cancer for women (14,00 deaths per year.) One interesting fact I learned from this podcast was that ovarian cancer usually doesn't have symptoms until stage 3 or 4. This means it's hard to detect it in the early stages and when they do, it's too late and their only source is chemotherapy. However, dogs can sense and catch the cancer earlier. This podcast was so interesting to me because I never knew how smart and reliable dogs can be. I also learned more about what happens to our bodies when we can have cancer. <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Scientists Discover Potential signs of life on Mercury</title>
         <author></author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/MrsDove/ic0i0fhy81pipiri/wish/698018676</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div><a href="https://www.sciencefriday.com/radio/">https://www.sciencefriday.com/radio/</a> This podcast talks about how scientists have found  the chemical building blocks of life on Mercury. They found Volatiles (stuff that can be liquid, solid or gas) that reside in the craters at the poles of the planet that never see sunlight, so therefore it’s cold enough for the volatiles to not evaporate. They evaporate if they are in sunlight. The side of Mercury that is facing the sun, or the day side, can get up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the side facing away from the sun, or the night side, is extremely cold. I thought it was interesting how the craters at the poles could stay cold always. The craters are deep enough that they are always cast in shadow, and ice even forms there. <br>-Isabel Taylor</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This podcast talks about how bathing with no products such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, facial cleaner etc. is good for you! One interesting fact I learned from this podcast is that when you wash your body to much it takes away the good oils for your body. which can make your skin really dry and unhealthy. Thats why some people don't shower with products!</div>]]></description>

         <title>Understanding Our Inevitable Cosmic Apocalypse </title>
         <author>lillianh30081</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/MrsDove/ic0i0fhy81pipiri/wish/699155202</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>The podcast I chose talked about the possible ends to our universe. It listed several ways a cosmic apocalypse could happen. One of these ways is called The Big Rip. The Big Rip is a theory where dark energy, which is the force that is always expanding our universe, starts to rip planets from their solar systems, thus ripping atoms apart. This would lead to nothing being left in our universe. I found this interesting because I wanted to learn more theories about earth and how it will be in the future.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Could A “Marsquake” Knock Down Your House?</title>
         <author>karlya3470</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/MrsDove/ic0i0fhy81pipiri/wish/700271682</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>This podcast was very interesting to me because I've always been interested in astronomy. This podcast talked about Marsquakes and explained how they happen. An interesting fact that I learned from this podcast was that if you were on Mars while there was a Marsquake, you wouldn't even be able to feel it. All of the Marsquakes that have been recorded are all very small. The biggest one ever recorded is a 4.0, and it would have to be at least a 5 for you to feel it on Mars. I usually worry about things that I really shouldn't because they are really ridiculous, and so it's nice to know that I wouldn't feel a Marsquake on Mars, let alone Earth.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Should We Conserve Parasites? Some Scientists Say Yes.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This podcast came interesting to me as I'm pretty fastinated of many species. This talks about parasites and gave an explanation of how we should preserve/conserve parasites because they can have an impact on our future. Also, the scientists from the podcast explained that there are theoretically over 1 million species of parasites which I found pretty intriguing. The reason this came intriguing to me was because these parasites are so small yet they help us in so many ways, although there are unhealthy parasites.  <br>                    <br>                --Ethan--</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I thought this podcast was very interesting. I used to think that parasites were only harmful, but some actually help us! An example of one was parasitoid wasps. They help control the population of agricultural pests. Another example was <em> parasitic Braconid wasp. It lays its eggs on something called a tobacco hornworm  pest. This is good because tobacco hornworm pests eat things like tobacco, tomato, and potato crops. The parasitic braconid wasp lays it's eggs on the tobacco hornworm pest's back. When the egg's hatch, the babies feed on the tobacco hornworm.<br></em><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I have been taking a lot more baths lately and I wanted to see how it is more beneficial to be bathing more often. When I listened to the podcast I heard that there lots of little tunes microbes on the skin, and that you can get rid of most of them by bathing and washing. But that might be an issue since some microbes have bacteria that prevent our skin from getting harmful bacteria that gives the warts and the disgusting pimples. I also learned in the podcast that companies are using anti bacterial products which apparently get rid of all the fungi and harmful bacterial on the skin, but there modified in a way that might not be healthy to the skin. But if the companies manage to succeed in getting pass the hurdle of preventing your skin from getting worse and less deficient in looking healthier then I would get those.  I’m only going to shower every two days from now .

         <title>The Fishy History of Ketchup</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The word and sauce “Ketchup” originated from China. The word ketchup comes from the Hokkien word kê-tsaip which literally meant fish-sauce. Ketchup was a brown-ish liquidy sauce that actually did not contain tomatoes. Ketchup was brought to the U.S and people tried to recreate the sauce with oysters, mushroom and many other ingredients. The first recipe made with tomatoes was made  in 1812 and it was called “A Recipe for Love Apple Ketchup.” Ketchup spoiled easily so people added preservatives. A group of people tested preservatives that were in ketchup and they had nasty side effects. One man paid attention to these trials and created a new and improved ketchup that we still use today. His name was Henry J. Heinz. I found this podcast very interesting because I would have never thought about where ketchup came from. The most interesting fact I learned from this podcast was that the word ketchup actually meant fish-sauce.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I take this topic because my mother is from Kenya which is part of the three countries that make East Africa.<br>Locust is a form of grasshopper, The locusts that migrated to East Africa are there to stay, they migrated from the desert due to climate change. When it rained all the eggs harshed  and that's why the locusts are plenty. The eggs were there for many generations.The locusts  are so many equivalent to the size of a city. <br><a href="https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/east-africa-locusts-climate/">https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/east-africa-locusts-climate/</a></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Jack McCroskey<br><a href="https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/good-coral-news/">https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/good-coral-news/</a> I found this article really interesting because I learned like five new things. It’s also really cool to know corals have a huge light being shown on them this year, after a Micro Fragmentation Fusion was discovered. It’s a really neat thing where scientist spice up a healthy resistant coral, and then they grow those little pieces and then finally put them on dead or small corals to bring them back to life or grow them to a sexually mature size. Another thing I learned was that coral don’t become sexually mature based on how old they are, it’s based on how big they are. That is why MFF is so important, as it can grow corals much faster than they would normally grow, and get them to a sexually mature size so that they can reproduce and create the next generation of coral. Overall it was a great podcast and I learned a lot.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Pie is a delicious pattern but very challenging make. To make a flakey and yummy pie that is perfect you'll need flour, sugar, butter, salt, and shortening. There are three phases when making the dough. The first phase it pockets of fat. The next phases is flour and water turning into gluten, and lastly the fat melt and separates the flour and water creating a flakey pie crust to enjoy.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I learned lots of new and interesting things when I was listening to this podcast! I learned that Texas has about 600 different species of birds, that’s the most species of birds in the entire US! San Antonio, which is a city in Texas, is the confluence of 3 different eco-regions. Grassland birds love a diversity of different landscapes. Some grassland birds like tall grass, some like short, &amp; others like dense grass. Cattle play a huge role in this because cattle can create a diversity on the landscape. 1400-3800 birds are negatively impacted by wind-farms and buildings. I also learned that hunting can be important sometimes because it helps manage populations of deer and other wildlife. This podcast was really fun to listen to!</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Ketchup sauce and it's name actually originated from China. Westerners brought it back to their own country and altered the texture and flavor of ketchup. It originally did not have tomato in it, but in 1812 tomato was added into ketchup. The recipe for ketchup with tomato in it sustained and is now currently used by millions and is one of the most iconic American sauces. This podcast really interested me because I never knew the sauce originated from China. Even the name it self was originally from China.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Recently Scientists have discovered a new type of cloud/gad in the center of the galaxy(galactic center). The center of our galaxy is 27000 light years away. The new gas is called defused light. Scientists found this by pictures taken from the biggest telescope Hubble.  The gas is leaking over time and will run out in a couple million years. I found this podcast very interesting because I learned a lot of details about our own galaxy that I did not even know, such as how far away the center of the galaxy is. </div>]]></description>

         <title>Panting, Perspiration and Puddles</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This was incredibly interesting to me because of my animals, dogs pant to cool off, most people knew that. But did you know that so do horses? Horses main way of cooling down is actually by panting! They do sweat, but their sweat is nothing like humans sweat, it isn't water. It has a little bit of water but it is mainly proteins, fiber, fat, etc. Reptiles don't sweat either, they usually go to a shady spot and open their mouths to evaporate some of that water, and cool off. That is also why dogs pant. They are letting moisture evaporate and that is how panting actually cools them down.  Humans on the other hand, are able to have their way of cooling down accessible at all times, probably why humans are such good endurance runners. Unlike horses,  when going at full speed, they cannot pant, so they sweat, although sweating doesn't do as much for them as it does for us.</div>]]></description>

Some planets may go into black holes depending on how strong the force would be. The reason this would happen, is because of the force the Big Bang will have, it will push the planets in that solar system out. The real question is, will WE survive if there was another Big Bang?</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This podcast is about black holes and how we cant really estimate anything about them, we know how to estimate the sizes but we really cant estimate anything else, they could be white and not black, this is the complexity of the universe. Scientists have found a black hole that is 88 solar mass when their estimate was that no black hole could go over 85 - 120 solar mass. Now they have to calculate the max solar mass a black hole can be. Black holes might become big because 2 smaller back holes merged or they may have grown over millions of years. Scientists heard 2 black holes merge but it was 15 billion light years away so it happened when the Milky Way was half the size it was today. This shows how unpredictable black holes and the universe can be.<br><br></div>]]></description>

Fires rage across the amazon as well, due to climate change. These fires release carbon dioxide, which increases the world's average temperature, which creates more fire. It's a whole cycle of madness. Climate scientist warn that deforestation will destroy the Amazon's ecosystem, but nobody listens.</div>]]></description>
