Plants have long served us in so many ways - primarily as a source of food, oxygen, medicine, clothing, and so much more. Without them, animals and plants wouldn't have healthy habitats to grow and thrive as a species. ]]> 2021-06-14 17:07:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cpoteat2/tbwl3hberlrgl3fh/wish/1605613573 cpoteat2 https://padlet.com/cpoteat2/tbwl3hberlrgl3fh/wish/1624139609 The Georgia Rockress is an endangered flower  (angiosperm) that is native to GA. It is found in thin soil around the rocky slopes. It has four white petals held by a delicate stem and is pollinated by bees, butterflies, and moths. Its taxonomic name is Arabis georgiana. ]]> 2021-06-24 19:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cpoteat2/tbwl3hberlrgl3fh/wish/1624139609 cpoteat2 https://padlet.com/cpoteat2/tbwl3hberlrgl3fh/wish/1628375511 The Tundra biome is one of the most fragile and threatened biomes in the world. Some of its greatest threats are attributed to climate change and human disruption. The building of roads and drilling for oil thaws permafrost and damages the soil. This makes it hard for this biome to bounce back and produce vegetation needed to survive.]]> 2021-06-28 13:28:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cpoteat2/tbwl3hberlrgl3fh/wish/1628375511 cpoteat2 https://padlet.com/cpoteat2/tbwl3hberlrgl3fh/wish/1639131845 The Neolithic Revolution occurred when humans shifted from nomadic hunter gatherers to a more sedentary, agrarian based lifestyle. Since plants and animals had become domesticated within their settlements, humans no longer had to migrate for food. A surplus of food caused a huge increase in population, subsequently allowing people to focus on building upon their technologies, practices, and society. ]]> 2021-07-06 18:14:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cpoteat2/tbwl3hberlrgl3fh/wish/1639131845 cpoteat2 https://padlet.com/cpoteat2/tbwl3hberlrgl3fh/wish/1658397351 One of the most influential chemicals derived from a plant is Tetrahydrocannabinol, aka THC. Marijuana is derived from the cannabis plant and typically smoked to achieve its effects. Many know this plant's molecule for its psychoactive effects (high), however it is historically known for its medicinal benefits. The most common reason people use THC is to manage ailments of pain. Some examples include menstrual cramps, joint pain, gout, and insomnia. ]]> 2021-07-22 15:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/cpoteat2/tbwl3hberlrgl3fh/wish/1658397351 cpoteat2 https://padlet.com/cpoteat2/tbwl3hberlrgl3fh/wish/1662318014 It is no surprise that the planet has undergone drastic changes due to climate change. Global warming can be attributed to extinction of certain species, heat waves, and more frequent natural disasters. If we don't start taking precautions now, and try saving what we can, Earth will continue to deteriorate and become inhabitable for many species. The picture below is an example of what our future may look like: melting in the Antarctic. ]]> 2021-07-27 17:21:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cpoteat2/tbwl3hberlrgl3fh/wish/1662318014
