Blog #11 white sage

It all starts out like this the biggest plant starts out as the smallest seed. And for the flower i am using which is the white sage these are the seeds. The White Sage is a native plant to California. It is not grown widely but it is still seen around. Currently my group and i are working in planting White Sages outside of our school so that it can be more of a green environment. But in order to grow the White Sage successfully we have to know its background and where and under what does the White Sage grow its best on. So i went ahead and researched more about White Sage so that both me and you can have a better understanding of the flower.The First thing we got to know is that the White Sage typically grows between 2 and 5 feet tall, and its stem can grow up to 6 feet. The flowers of the white sage can range in color from white to lavender. Also a distinctive part of the White Sage is that it has a distinctive dusty smell. Now that we described the flower lets move on to the part of how to grow the White Sage. We first got to know that the White Sage is a desert plant so that means that it needs a lot of sunshine and sandy well draining soil. An important thing to know is that the White Sage will die if you over water it. The best advice i give you is to water it at maximum once every two weeks (according to Suite101*).And one last thing White Sages have very low germination rates (15%) so what my teacher Ms.Malonek reccomended was to plant the seeds indoor and take care of them there until 2-3 weeks and then take them outside.

If you follow the directions then you should get a White Sage like these:

BLog #11 Water treatment

Would you like to be drinking out from that water ? Im sure that no one would want that ! Well apparently there is some discussion if we should use money to have better water treatment and my say in this is that we certainly do have to put more money into water treatment. From water studies we have gone to the conclusion that without proper water treatment it can lead to diseases that are fatal to the human life. And some people may say that the water treatment cost too much, but i would say to them that "human life no matter how small it is" is very precious, and spending a couple millions to save people life seems like a good use in money. Not only will this save lives but also create a global awareness that by having better water treatment we can save lives.

And remember we all want clean water

Why are maps important to the study of environmental science? Blog #3

There are several reasons for why the maps are very important to the study of environmental science. The people in the field of environmental science use them to see many information. For example they can see how much smog is in the air, or to see the trend in the population number. All that information is very important to them and without maps they wouldn't be able to use the information. Another reason is because they use it to store important information, such as where certain kind of animals are in the world \. They use maps to plot them to see them by using maps. Another possible reason why the maps are important for the study of environmental science is because they can see see weather trends and see what type of weather is in what part of the world by using maps. The last reason why i think that maps are important is because they can see what is demanded in what part of the world

Chaos Theory Blog #2

What is the Chaos theory? well the chaos theory is just a something contradictory itself. An example of the Chaos theory is called the Koch snowflake which something normal turn into something else which is the result of the chaos theory. Another example are  the triangles that keep running on the same pattern.

This is the end result of what started with just a triangle star
