Mini Project Four

Genetically Modified Foods: The term GM foods is used to refer to crop plants created for human or animal consumption using the latest molecular biology techniques. These plants have been modified in the lab to enhance traits such as increased resistance to herbicides or improved nutritional content.

Mini Project Three

Endangered Species in the state of Florida:

The Florida panther is our state animal. Only are few are left so it is important to save this magnificent creature.









The manatee are like sea cows. They live in rivers, estuaries and inshore areas of Florida. The manatees eat a lot during the day. They eat 10-15% of their body weight in a variety of aquatic plants every day.





The Eastern Indigo Snake is the longest North American Snake. The Eastern Indigo Snake can grow as long as 8 feet in length.







The Peregrine falcon has been on the endangered species list since 1970.Restrictions on the pesticide DDT and private groups who have used breeding programs have saved the falcon from extinction. Peregrine Falcons have been known to live as old as 15 years of age. They usually live to be 11 or 12.

mini project one

GREENPEACE ORGANIZATION
The organization focuses on activities that I found very interesting and would like to learn more about. A few of the activities are climate change, toxic chemicals, nuclear energy and nuclear weapons. Activists and supporters of Greenpeace have come together to ban commercial whaling, convince the world’s leaders to stop nuclear testing, protect Antarctica, and much more. Today, the organization has grown from a small group of dedicated activists to an international organization with offices in more than 30 countries.

mini project two

Carbon is located in oceans and sedimentary rocks, mostly in large quantities. When carbon reaches water it precipitates to form calcium carbonate, coral and algae can then build up limestone reefs through this carbon precipitation process. This creates suitable environments for their population and sources of carbon for further respiration. On land and in water, plants convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates through photosynthesis.
