Songs and cute rhymes make learning easier and more fun.  This video was not only entertaining but was very educational.  Photosynthesis is a very important part on the plant life cycle.  ]]> 2017-06-20 02:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/adurham51/BIOL1020/wish/176925448 adurham51 https://padlet.com/adurham51/BIOL1020/wish/177911250 Specific to Georgia
I included a link to the University of Georgia Extension website.  It is a publication that list things that are native to Georgia.  It is very informative to the many trees that grow in Georgia.

You don't typically think of the dessert in danger.  However we as humans can damage the dessert quicker than anything.  With all terrain vehicles we damage the soil and its habitants.  As well as oil and gas production can damage our dessert areas.  Global warming plays a big role on our desserts as well.  ]]> 2017-07-03 01:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/adurham51/BIOL1020/wish/177911686 adurham51 https://padlet.com/adurham51/BIOL1020/wish/178803584 Neolithic and HUMANS
The way humans lived changed during the Neolithic Period.  The use of agriculture allowed people to settle and be able to live off their land.  More technology came as well during this era that helped the people be more productive.

The Third Agricultural Revolution is also known as the GREEN Revolution.  Many new practices were developed to help farmers all over the world.  The picture shows equipment that can harvest crops faster and with less man power.  This Revolution began in India when there were so many deaths from hunger.  The quicker we can harvest the faster the food can get to those who need it most.  ]]> 2017-07-16 21:50:07 UTC https://padlet.com/adurham51/BIOL1020/wish/178804267 adurham51 https://padlet.com/adurham51/BIOL1020/wish/179713416 Digitalis Purpurea
This plant is found mostly in Europe.  The plant itself is highly deathly to humans and some animals. William Withering extracted the deadly chemical,  cardiac glycoside digitoxin, from this plant's leaves.  This compound is now used as a drug to help patients with Heart Failure.  ]]> 2017-07-30 18:58:45 UTC https://padlet.com/adurham51/BIOL1020/wish/179713416 adurham51 https://padlet.com/adurham51/BIOL1020/wish/179713507 A World with no Life
Without agriculture the land would not provide any nourishments for our bodies.  The future with no economic growth would continue to decline to nothing.  Our world today relies on the social and political practices to be checked because people do not have moral values as our ancestors once did.]]> 2017-07-30 19:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/adurham51/BIOL1020/wish/179713507
