Elements in Our House?!?

Post at least ten(10) items from your kitchen, bathroom, cleaning closet, etc, and the elements that are listed in the Table of Ingredients. How to do this? Here's an example...

This is a Table of Ingredients in a brand of deodorant (I don't use this brand :P). I'm looking at it and my Periodic Table of Elements (handed out in class) and I'm looking to see if anything matches up with my Table. I see that Magnesium is present in this product, so I would list this as DawnMist deodorant - Magnesium.

Happy Holidays :)

What is an Ecosystem?

What is an Ecosystem?

An ecosystem consists of a dynamic set of living organisms (plants, animals, and microorganisms) all interacting among themselves and with the environment in which they live (soil, climate, water, and light).

An ecosystem does not have exact boundaries—it can be as small as a pond or a dead tree, or as large as the Earth itself.

Explore the Web sites below to discover more about the many and varied ecosystems on Earth.

• The Missouri Botanical Gardens has a great Web site with lots of information and great pictures!

• The Planet is an extensive (and fun) site that goes into ecosystems and many other things. Be sure to check it out.

• This ThinkQuest site offers lots of information about the biomes on Earth.

After reviewing the Web pages, complete the following activity in your notebook.

• Identify an ecosystem with which you are familiar (small is good!).
• List as many biotic (living) components as you can that live in, or affect, your ecosystem.
• List as many abiotic (non-living) components as you can that affect this ecosystem.
• Remove one item from each list. Write a paragraph about how these changes will affect this ecosystem.
• Collect pictures for you favorite ecosystem and save them to a folder on your laptop.
  

Important issues in environment, health, and energy

Global warming, all different types of cancer, gas prices going up with supplies going down. This is the world we live in and we need to find solutions to the major issues in the environment, health, and energy.

So...Using the powerful search engine (your brain!) post at least three major issues for each of the main topic being discussed in Science News today: the environment, health, and energy. Be sure to explain why this is a major issue in each of the main topics listed above.

Example would be: Global warming is a major issue in the environment because it's causing plants we eat to die.
