Here they break the equation into small steps to see how you get the number of carbons. It also helped me to understand that the equation has to balance. I knew the processes were similar yet different but couldn't see it as clearly before. The equation just clicked for my math mind. Enjoy!]]> 2021-02-04 01:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/gsmith412/si74h36wgsdxsod0/wish/1161564676 gsmith412 https://padlet.com/gsmith412/si74h36wgsdxsod0/wish/1202136790 This is the Butterfly Weed or Asclepias tuberosa L. 
This can be found in dry open woods, fields and roadsides throughout Georgia. It grows from New England to FLorida, west to Texas as wella s into COlorado and Minnesota. Butterflies love to feed off these.]]> 2021-02-15 01:54:49 UTC https://padlet.com/gsmith412/si74h36wgsdxsod0/wish/1202136790 gsmith412 https://padlet.com/gsmith412/si74h36wgsdxsod0/wish/1229459350 The biome that I believe is at greatest risk of ecological change is that of tundra. Global warming has been slowly changing the climate within these biomes for quite some time. The effects are a melting of glaciers and a greening of the land. The vegetation is changing as is the animal population in these areas. ]]> 2021-02-23 02:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/gsmith412/si74h36wgsdxsod0/wish/1229459350 gsmith412 https://padlet.com/gsmith412/si74h36wgsdxsod0/wish/1313510017 I picked this diagram because I feel like it really points out what we have all been saying in our discussion. The population increased drastically during the Neolithic Revolution as humans began to change from hunters and gathers to farmers. The family members who would normally be off hunting were now home and families began to increase. ]]> 2021-03-16 01:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/gsmith412/si74h36wgsdxsod0/wish/1313510017 gsmith412 https://padlet.com/gsmith412/si74h36wgsdxsod0/wish/1355146698 This picture spoke to me as the Frankenstein that can be GMOs. The combining of the best traits and a little added something something to produce this weird hybrid. This is the truest example of what genetic modification is in the simplest form.]]> 2021-03-25 22:03:04 UTC https://padlet.com/gsmith412/si74h36wgsdxsod0/wish/1355146698 gsmith412 https://padlet.com/gsmith412/si74h36wgsdxsod0/wish/1423537988 I picked oxygen as the most influential chemical used. Without oxygen, human life would not exist and any other chemical would not be needed. We are blessed for the plants and trees that help us each day to produce this needed chemical.]]> 2021-04-16 00:29:12 UTC https://padlet.com/gsmith412/si74h36wgsdxsod0/wish/1423537988 gsmith412 https://padlet.com/gsmith412/si74h36wgsdxsod0/wish/1443970548 This picture speaks to the destruction that humans are doing to our planet. If we continue as a society to live in excess and not think about the future of the world. We will be overrun with trash and eventually there will be no room for humans. We must stop now!]]> 2021-04-21 18:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/gsmith412/si74h36wgsdxsod0/wish/1443970548
