This shows the simplicity of planting a seed and having it grow into a tree that eventually produces fruit. Plants are amazing things that can feed all the animals on this planet just by growing from a seed and bearing fruit.]]> 2020-01-26 22:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jdow21/ze76zq1nax8j/wish/436192301 jdow21 https://padlet.com/jdow21/ze76zq1nax8j/wish/441880927 This video is an amazing animation showing the very detail of the Calvin cycle. I believe the details of the Calvin cycle can be very confusing and this video animates it and makes the whole process very easy to understand. The video breaks down the whole process step by step and shows how each individual part of the Calvin cycle occurs.]]> 2020-02-06 22:06:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jdow21/ze76zq1nax8j/wish/441880927 jdow21 https://padlet.com/jdow21/ze76zq1nax8j/wish/448212617 This plant is known as the Magnolia macrophylla or the Bigleaf Magnolia. This plant blooms the largest simple leaf and single flower of any plant in North America. This plant is an angiosperm and is native to Georgia.]]> 2020-02-20 18:16:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jdow21/ze76zq1nax8j/wish/448212617 jdow21 https://padlet.com/jdow21/ze76zq1nax8j/wish/454754225 This picture shows the destruction the recent fires have cause to the Amazon rain forest. I believe that Tropical Rain Forests are in the most danger of ecological change because of what humans are doing to them and what has been happening to them for years. These rain forest are home to hundreds of thousands of different plants and animals and they need to be taken care of because of all the benefits they bring to our Earth.]]> 2020-03-05 00:15:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jdow21/ze76zq1nax8j/wish/454754225 jdow21 https://padlet.com/jdow21/ze76zq1nax8j/wish/482855244 This diagram shows the outline of the First Agricultural Revolution. It shows pictures of cave paintings where humans were farming a type of grain. It also shows how humans began to domesticate key staple crops that would guide us into the agricultural world we have today.]]> 2020-03-30 17:50:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jdow21/ze76zq1nax8j/wish/482855244 jdow21 https://padlet.com/jdow21/ze76zq1nax8j/wish/503000015 This picture is a graph that shows the yield of rice from when a genetically modified version was introduced till now. This genetically modified rice made it so farmers could yield a larger crop intake because the plant produced more grains of rice in a smaller area. Farmers needed the same amount of land but were getting much more crops and this shows the effects of genetically modified foods during the third agricultural revolution.]]> 2020-04-11 16:27:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jdow21/ze76zq1nax8j/wish/503000015 jdow21 https://padlet.com/jdow21/ze76zq1nax8j/wish/511925906 https://www.sciencehistory.org/distillations/aspirin-turn-of-the-century-miracle-drug



This website talks about the drug asprin. Everyone has heard of the pain reliver/ anti-inflammatory drug knows as Aspirin. Aspirin or Salicylic acid is actually originally derived from a plant. I think this is the most influential chemical that is derived from a plant because this is something everyone knows about and has taken for a long time.]]> 2020-04-17 01:42:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jdow21/ze76zq1nax8j/wish/511925906 jdow21 https://padlet.com/jdow21/ze76zq1nax8j/wish/511927964 I believe that this is what the world will look like in the future if we don't change something about politics or agriculture. The world is growing at a very fast rate and we need to be able to produce healthy food for everyone around the world. We cant survive without working together and the world will head down a bad path if we don't change something and protect the planet more. Overall, everyone on the planet needs to work together to make it a sustainable place for our future generations. ]]> 2020-04-17 01:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jdow21/ze76zq1nax8j/wish/511927964
