I learned that you can't change the control variable.  I am confident that I can tell the difference between a hypothesis and a prediction.  I wish that you will help me understand the scientific method more.

Cladograms, cladograms, cladograms 10/22/17

Image: Pierre Kleinhouse Summary:  When we think of evolution we see monkeys magically turning into humans, but what is missing from that picture is the portion below it that makes it a cladogram. What is a cladogram? A cladogram is a diagram that shows the common characteristics of certain animals, as well as how closely related they may be. The top of the cladogram includes the organisms name and sometimes a picture. On the side of the cladogram, you will usually see different characteristics. Since a cladogram is drawn at a downward angle, the characteristic applies to everything above that point on the diagram. As you go up the cladogram, the animal at the top has all the characteristics listed throughout the cladogram. Along with this, the points in which two animals meet is not when they evolved from one another, but their common ancestor. Lastly, the diagonal line of a cladogram represents time. S&EP-Models: SliderBase Cladograms are a diagram or model th...

Stress On the Brain 05/13/18

Image:  YouTube Summary: Chronic stress, or long-lasting stress, can make you feel isolated, overwhelmed and make you have sudden changes in mood. An example of chronic stress is getting overworked on a regular basis. When you are overworked and you are stressed about what you have to complete the size, function, and structure of your brain are affected. After a natural disaster, people are overcome with feeling shock, but that eventually morphs into guilt, depression, and anxiety. People who are suffering from the loss of a loved one, can feel helpless and powerless. The traumatic effects of natural disasters, no matter the natural disaster, show that victims suffer from PTSD and guilt of surviving. This is because, although not all disasters are the same, the survivors all endured a catastrophic, life-changing event, in which they experienced loss. However, the traumatic effects of a natural disaster are different on the brain, depending on the disaster, because...

Weekly Blog: 5/2- 5/6

Image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Arizona Summary: The project we completed was the biome project in which we had to create a text product, such as a trifold poster board, as well as a diorama of our biome. The biome that was assigned to my group was the desert and we decided to choose the Sonoran Desert located in Arizona. For this project we had to find edible plants and animals. To go with the plants and animals we had to describe them to prove that we would be able to locate them. In addition, we needed to know different sources of water, how and what materials you need to start a fire, and how and what you would use to build a shelter. Lastly, we had to know what hazardous organisms would pose a threat to us if we were in our biome. During this project, I not only learned about the Sonoran Desert, but some survival skills, too. Here is what I learned while working on the project: Plants: Fishhook Barrel Cactus Cacti are known to be in deserts a...
