The Photosynthesis Cycle" The Earth's atmosphere is mostly composed of nitrogen.
Oxygen makes up just 21 percent of the air we breathe. Carbon dioxide, argon, ozone, water vapor and other gasses make up a tiny portion of it, as little as 1 percent. These gasses probably came from several processes as the Earth evolved and grew as a planet. But some scientists believe that the Earth's atmosphere would never have contained the oxygen we need without plants. Plants (and some bacteria) release oxygen during photosynthesis, the process they use to change water and carbon dioxide into sugar they can use for food. Photosynthesis is a complex reaction.

Earth Fish from acidic ocean waters less able to smell predators Posted By News On April 13, 2014 - 5:30pm "They can smell but they can't distinguish between chemical cues," Dixson said.
Carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere is absorbed into ocean waters, where it dissolves and lowers the pH of the water. Despite metamorphosis, moths hold on to memories from their days as a caterpillar. The striking transformation of a caterpillar into a colourful, winged butterfly is one that has captivated scientists for years.
The metamorphosis involves the breakdown of most of the caterpillar’s tissues before reassembling to form a butterfly. It therefore seems unlikely that butterflies or moths would remember experiences from their caterpillar days. Oceans - Kids Geography Videos, Games and Lessons that Make Learning Fun and Easy.

Virtual frog dissection and science educational software. Hands-on Activities for Teaching Biology to High School or Middle School Students. By Drs.
Ingrid Waldron and Jennifer Doherty, University of Pennsylvania The expression "hands-on, minds-on" summarizes the philosophy we have incorporated in these activities - namely, that students will learn best if they are actively engaged and if their activities are closely linked to understanding important biological concepts.
Many of our activities are explicitly aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards, as indicated by (NGSS) in the descriptions below and the links to the right. Additional information is provided in Summary Tables and in the Teacher Preparation Notes for these activities. Explore, Play, Discover: Websites, Activities & More.

Life Cycle of Butterflies ( Web Links ) Great Horned Owl - Bird Cams. The live owl cam features a Great Horned Owl: A powerful and adaptable bird of prey that has the most extensive range, the widest prey base and the most variable nesting sites of any American owl.
Its large yellow eyes, pronounced ear tufts, and white bib distinguish the Great Horned Owl from related species, especially once its unmistakable multi-tone hoot is heard. Silently gliding from perch to perch, the Great Horned Owl hunts easily after dark. While perched and ready to pounce, the Great Horned Owl is robustly equipped with excellent eyesight, the ability to swivel its head more than 180 degrees, and an acute sense of hearing to locate its prey. As observers of the live owl cam may witness, Great Horned Owls regularly consume small mammals and are also known to eat fish and even large prey such as other owls or raptorial birds.

Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center General Considerations While certain flight directions are consistently followed by migratory birds, it is well to remember that the term "migration route" is a generalization, a concept referring to the general movements of a species, rather than an exact course followed by individual birds or a path followed by a species characterized by specific geographic or ecological boundaries. Even the records of banded birds usually show no more than the places of banding and recovery, and the details of the route actually traversed between the two points is interpolated.
In determining migration routes, one must also constantly guard against the false assumption that localities with many grounded migrants are on the main path of migration and localities where no migrants are observed are off the main path. There is also considerable variation in the routes chosen by different species. Switch Zoo Animal Games. The Secret Lives of Wild Animals. San Diego Zoo - Kids. Nestcams - View Cams.
