are critical for plants to grow healthily. However, whether additional Vitamins have an impact on plant growth is not well understood yet. A popular example of nutrients would be minerals. Plants can produce the Vitamin themselves. They also have the ability to gather and convert Vitamins from sunlight. There is this debate on whether additional Vitamins are considered essential for plant growth. It is necessary to investigate if Vitamins could also benefit the growth of plants when they are with

Part 1: Why were you initially interested in this “element?” I was initially interested in a pond because I thought it could be not only be an aesthetically pleasing addition to the site, but also provide educational and environmental advantages to the Falmouth schools community. A pond, for example could be used in science classes to help students learn about the PH of water, or about the life cycle of a frog. After the pond was established I also thought that it could be utilized to grow aquatic

bean plants located in the terrestrial environment. Two heterotrophs found in my Ecocolumn are the ladybugs that live in the terrestrial region and the guppies which are in the aquatic region. Data that we recorded from our Ecocolumn demonstrated that both the autotrophs and the heterotrophs were interacting and were reliant on each other. For example, when we had placed the ladybugs into the terrestrial environment, we noticed that they were eating the aphids who are pests that eat the plants. The

De-extinction is the process of bringing bringing back animals.It sounds like a scientific term to bring animals back like the wooly mammoths.We need to bring them back because they are like elephants and a lot of people never have seen them in real life except for cavemen.I think that this is a very good idea. First we need to research to find the evidence that mammoths are very important and that we need to bring them back.George Church says de-extinction is a good idea.”Mammoths could keep the

Growing a plant is a great way to develop a healthy habit as it allows a person to gain responsibility from taking care of the plant as well as being able to grow their own food. Growing food is a type of social norm that is often well received, in fact there almost seems to be a societal pressure to grow plants. Currently today there is a large movement towards being more ecologically friendly, whether it be by owning electric cars or growing your own food. Durkheim talked about societal pressures

People and animals need the plants not only for food, but also, for breathing. The trees work as lungs in the human body because they filter the air by drawing carbon dioxide and giving oxygen to support human's life. It is logical that ranching is important to secure food for meat eaters, but that is offending tropical rainforests. Millions of hectares of trees have been killed to feed animals. For example, 25 million acres of Amazon rainforests have become grazing land for beef cattle. That means

will begin the process of planting and nurturing their very own Brassica plant (i.e., mustard seeds). Rapid-cycling Brassicas are small plants that take up relatively little space and grow and germinate quickly enabling students to observe all stages of the plant life cycle within just 5 weeks. Through their study of the Brassica plant and the informational text A Pumpkin Grows, students will learn about the parts of a plant, where they live, and how they grow and reproduce. Upon completion of the
