The topic of this week's forum is a broad one--humanity's future. You have learned how human evolution has been shaped by forces such as the physical environment, antagonistic and symbiotic relationships with other species, disease, and human cultural interactions. Now share your predictions for the future of human evolution. What biological changes in humans will occur over the next centuries? How might forces such as climate change, disease, genetic technology, and globalization affect us? Do you think our physical appearance will change substantially (are we going to grow ever-enormous brains for example)? Try to apply what you have learned about evolutionary and biocultural forces in making your predictions. You are free to be imaginative and speculate here--so long as you provide a rationale for your predictions!As always, respond to two student posts as well as your original post.

THE experiment name is: AS-220 Periodic Trends in Properties of Elements and Their Oxides.I have data & observation doneI have purpose and procedure from the lab manual : You just have to do it again but from your own words. Pretty simple.Then just need to do post lab questions of the lab manual and that is all.

Natural fertilizer from partially decomposed waste products K. Pigment that absorbs energy from the sun Unit VIII Homework Plant Transpiration Introduction If you have not already, you or someone you know will try to grow a variety of plants either inside your house or outside in a garden. What type of soil do you need? How often should you water the plants? Should you plant them in full sun? Why do some plants need less water and some more? These are questions that many people have about plants. In this activity, you will have a chance to manipulate different variables to see how much water some plants use and how much some lose through transpiration. Objectives 1.Conduct virtual experiments to determine factors that affect transpiration. 2.Compare and contrast sustainable and unsustainable farming practices. Materials Computer with internet access Directions1.Go to: http://glencoe.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/dl/free/00786...2.Read the PURPOSE and OBJECTIVES.3.Read and follow the information under PROCEDURES, and complete the lab for all 4 plants and all 3 variables.4.Reset the lab and complete the lab for the next set of 4 plants and 3 variables.5.Record your information in the Results Table provided on this sheet.6.During and after the lab, answer the questions below.7.Type all answers directly on the data sheet.8.Select Save As, and use your last name and student ID as a file name.9.Upload the data sheet as a .doc, .docx, or .rtf file when finished.Questions 1 – 10 are short answer questions and should be answered in two to three words or one to two complete sentences. Total: 40 points1.Explain how the heater, the fan and the lamp are being used to test environmental factors as they relate to plant transpiration. (4 points) 2.State a scientific question you have based on what you know of the experiment. (4 points) 3.State your hypothesis. (4 points) 4.In your own words, explain the process of transpiration. (4 points) 5.Which environmental factors that you tested increased the rate of transpiration? Did the rate of transpiration increase for all plants tested? Explain. (4 points) 6.Of the environmental factors tested, did any affect the transpiration rate more than the others? Explain. (4 points) 7.Which species of plants that you tested had the highest transpiration rates? Why do you think different species of plants transpire at different rates? (4 points) 8.What is your conclusion? (4 points) 9.Did your results support your hypothesis? If so, how? If not, why not?(4 points) 10.State another question about transpiration that you would like to have answered that you did not answer in this lab activity. (4 points) Results Table: You should include data for eight different plants. Make sure you reset the lab (upper right corner) to receive four more plants. Total: 20 points Amount of water transpired after 1 hour (mL) Plant Normal Fan Heater Lamp Question 11 is a short essay. Your response should be at least 200 words in length. Total: 40 points11. You want to reduce the amount of money that you are spending at the grocery store. You and your family decide to plant a small garden to provide a variety of foods. Since you completed the activity above, you know that plants require certain nutrients in order to survive. Read the information in the textbook concerning the future of agriculture (pages 586 – 592). What are some methods that you would implement into your garden? What would you try to avoid? In addition to your textbook, locate at least one article in the CSU Online Library that provides further information on your chosen methods. Make sure you provide a detailed response.
