The plants in this picture are providing a need to the humans (could be vegetables growing). Without this plant, they would not be able to eat which is why they are taking there time nourishing the plant. The plant is also providing good nutrients in the air because they also have a small source of it themselves.]]> 2018-01-13 18:28:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dbesson/wchfmfn1fvmo/wish/221203282 dbesson https://padlet.com/dbesson/wchfmfn1fvmo/wish/228916638 The reason why I chose this video is because it is great for kids! I think when it comes to science, kid videos are great because it breaks down in a simple form of what something is. This video does a great job covering the summary of photosynthesis. Also, it is very appealing to the audience since they used a lot of colors and a moving animation of the process.]]> 2018-02-07 01:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/dbesson/wchfmfn1fvmo/wish/228916638 dbesson https://padlet.com/dbesson/wchfmfn1fvmo/wish/234568478 The major land plant I chose was the Angiosperm. The Angiosperm plants are often referred to as flowering plants which is the most diverse group of land plants. Angiosperm plants have multiple uses such as food, specifically grains, fruits, nuts, oils, vegetables etc. One of the native Angiosperm plant to Georgia is the Azelea, which mostly bloom in the summer and fall.]]> 2018-02-23 03:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dbesson/wchfmfn1fvmo/wish/234568478 dbesson https://padlet.com/dbesson/wchfmfn1fvmo/wish/238718134 There are a total of 7 biomes in the world which include, Tundra, Taiga, Grasslands, Deciduous Forest, Chaparral, Desert and Tropical rainforest. Among these biomes I believe that the Tropical Rainforest is the biome that is in the most danger of ecological change. Although the rainforest is a beautiful place, it holds lots of animals and plants that are attractive to the human eye. I believe that because of this a never ending cycle will occur of new discoveries but as well as stripping this biome of its resources.]]> 2018-03-06 16:34:47 UTC https://padlet.com/dbesson/wchfmfn1fvmo/wish/238718134 dbesson https://padlet.com/dbesson/wchfmfn1fvmo/wish/245283437 The Neolithic Revolution was a turning point in 10,000 B.C, when the earliest humans learned how to plant seeds and domesticate animals.

This was a time period where new agricultural practices were created to help farmers all over the world. LISA ( Low-Input Sustainable Agriculture ), is profitable and productive farming, and protection of resources and environmental quality. Below is a link to an article explaining in detail this contribution towards third agricultural. ]]> 2018-04-08 18:30:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dbesson/wchfmfn1fvmo/wish/249565108 dbesson https://padlet.com/dbesson/wchfmfn1fvmo/wish/252684219 I believe one of the worlds most influential chemicals that derived from a plant is salicylic acid or also known as salicin.  The plant that it derives from is the Salix which is the bark of willow trees. The reason why I choose this chemical  is because extractions from this part have been used to treat aches and pains and even acne. it can also be found in aspirin and other forms of pain relievers.

This is a perfect example of how the world will be advanced in technology. The jobs today as well as the common things such as electronics and transportation we use will be advanced or taken over by technology.]]> 2018-04-30 00:53:58 UTC https://padlet.com/dbesson/wchfmfn1fvmo/wish/256367265
