How to Identify a Mineral: Identifying minerals is like playing a sport. You are given a specific set of principles or rules to follow. To be good at a sport like basketball, for instance, one must not only know the rules, but he/she must also practice. The same concepts appl…
Even though everyone had to learn the periodic table at school, there are probably only a few of us that can still remember more than a few elements, their order, what they actually do and where are they used. So, it’s fair to say that all of us could stand to revise our chemistry knowledge, and this periodic table is absolutely perfect for it. If you've ever wondered where on earth most of these elements can be found in our day to day lives, wonder no more, because engineer Keith Enevoldsen is here to teach us all!
Learn how to integrate art into your plant science activities by having students make chlorophyll paintings. Similar to leaf rubbings, this simple science based art project is a fun and creative extension for teaching kids about photosynthesis.
Elementary particles are the fundamental building blocks of the universe.
As the tree grows it starts the appearance of rings inside the trunk. Counting the rings of a tree gives a fairly accurate measure of a tree’s age. The growth rings show how the weather has changed and affected the tree’s quality of life over the years. The wider the rings the more growth of the tree and the closer it is to ideal weather conditions. The narrow the rings will indicate less growth due to cold weather or drought conditions. The oldest layer of growth is in the center; the newest gr

The main Parts of a Tree are the roots, trunk, branches and twigs, leaves, buds, flowers and fruit. A tree's roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil, store sugar and anchor the tree upright in the ground. All trees have lateral roots that branch into smaller and smaller roots and usually extend horizontally well beyond the branch tips; large trees typically have roots extending 20-40 metres or more from the trunk. The vast majority of the root system is located in the upper 10–30 cm of so

Ernst Haeckel, in full Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel, (born Feb. 16, 1834, Potsdam, Prussia [Germany]—died Aug. 9, 1919, Jena, Ger.), German zoologist and evolutionist who was a strong proponent of Darwinism and who proposed new notions of the evolutionary descent of human beings. He declared that ontogeny (the embryology and development of the individual) briefly, and sometimes necessarily incompletely, recapitulated, or repeated, phylogeny (the developmental history of the species or race). (See biogenetic law.) Haeckel grew up in Merseburg, where his father was a government official. He studied at Würzburg and at the University of Berlin, where his professor,
While the coronavirus has taken over airtime in recent months, the need for tree-planting never went away with many initiatives continuing to plant trees. And many are making good progress on their goals.

So after my last post I should tell you "that Arctic day" we went to an Indian restaurant to get a taste of Indian food. I told the kids we could see belly dancers and that they would have a tea called chai, eat some Naan- they were super excited and so was I to save the lost day. When we drove up to the restaurant, it was closed- like shut down, boards on the windows... so instead we drove to get pizza. :) I mean really, what should I have expected? :) Onto this wonderful week of CC... Here is a file of our History sentence for Week 8 with picture format. I thought since it was such a long sentence it would help to have some picture cues to talk about it as well. :) You can just right click and save it. Hopefully you will have no problems with this document. :) Ok for science... http://mrsrosales-acaciawoodschool.weebly.com/comparing-monocot-and-dicot.html We have the ever helpful and resourceful teacher who made this sheet. But I wanted something I could make for my memory board so I made this instead.... And for some Geography Week 9 cards... https://dl.dropbox.com/u/83404917/week%209%20map%20cards/Slide1.png I love this idea! SO simple and fun for little hands. If you didn't want to do construction paper you could do paint. :) I hope everyone has a wonderful week and you are blessed beyond measure! -Crecia
Biology’s tree of life has morphed from the familiar classroom version emphasizing kingdoms into a complex depiction of supergroups, in which animals are aligned with a slew of single-celled cousins.
Happy holidays, bookworms! Do you typically get books as gifts from your friends and family? I don't, but that doesn't stop me from dreaming.
Il y a des gens qui, apparemment, ne peuvent pas être malchanceux. Leurs clés de voiture, lorsqu’elles tombent, restent sur la grille d’égout, les mouettes leur épargnent héroïquement des amendes pour excès de vitesse, et ils trouvent des trésors littéralement sous leurs pieds. Aujourd’hui, nous souhaitons te montrer des photos qui prouvent que la chance tombe sur certaines personnes et ne semble plus vouloir les quitter.

Forests of giant, scaly-stemmed club mosses once rose from ancient swamps in Atlantic Canada. But fossils found in a New Brunswick quarry show some trees that grew among them were even stranger — more like the truffula trees in Dr. Seuss books than any tree that exists today.
