So, I'm gonna start with my "healthy" food. It was a banana! I don't eat bananas too often, but my dad buy's them a lot. They're always sitting on my counter. And honestly when I do eat them, the main reason is because it's my healthy choice over ...
My learning process through this specific unit of study is actually rather ironic because in a round-about I'm learning about or discussing these topics in three different classes. In DC Biology I'm being taught all of these new concepts step by s...
Where to begin? I'm not sure what kind of approach I want to take on this topic, or what order I want to mention things. The obvious start would be abortion, but I'm not sure by just giving an opinion I can take this discussion where I think it sh...
Oh my. I didn't realize the "this accomplishment" was a link until a few minutes ago. Nice work on finding this though, because it's nearly perfect for what I've been reading in other people's posts. I saw several times that a lot of the reasons p...
First of all, what an assignment! This is probably the most frustrating and intriguing assesment I've ever done. On one hand, I've been having such a hard time reevaluating where I want to draw my line and on the other hand, I've already felt like...
THE Desert. :) How exciting?
After watching the video, I learned a tremendous amount of information about deserts in general. The video touch based a little on the Sonoran Desert, but I think I overall learned about deserts as a whole more than a...
From researching on the web about possible organisms found in the Sonoran Desert, I found a vast amount of variety in the different species I discovered. Before I start discussing what I found, as of right now I am very uninformed about desert lif...
I actually was not aware that we would be doing a field study of the forest on our trip out to Missouri Western, but after getting through it I was pretty satisfied with what I learned. Before we started this experiment I wasn't exactly thrilled b...
Actually going to the pond created a new learning experience for me by looking at what I used to think and what I now knew about the pond ecosystem. For example, in my above in my paragraph starting with "Searching through the web..." I discussed ...
I'm not one to fish very often, or even be around pond areas, so I can say that I learned quite a bit during our shared experience of the pond ecosystems. Starting off in my group, I felt like I was more of the data recorder than anything else. I ...
I keep reading more about people mentioning that science is limited to the study of the physical universe, and it's something that I need to grasp. Like you did! So, good point in mentioning that!
Also, when saying that you don't think you really...
I'm going to definitely have to agree with you about teachers trying to pound into our heads the scientific method. I can remember all the way back to my early years in elementary school being taught about method and having to memorize. And all of...
I didn't use the link that we read aloud in class, because I found one that was more interesting to what I've been learning about science. The title of the link is "Science relies on evidence." From recently learning that there is no proof in scie...
"There is no such thing as proof." < Right there in black and white it is read. No such thing as proof? Say what? I myself was a little shocked when we read this alound in class. Being the arguementative kind of person that I am, I actually found ...
All I can say is...VERY creative title there, Kerstyn.

And it DOES appear as if you have typed a bit more than the group from last year--maybe two or three words more...
According to the little BMR thing, I need 1069 calories per day.
This opened my eyes because not everything you eat is healthy, or at least the stuff that you think is healthy really is not, and I like the fact that we learned how to calculate th...
sorry for the error in the picture of the protein...! I will fix it! I made it myself and it was too late! One of those Oxygens has to have 2 bondings!
"Structure and Function" is the very first thing I wrote down on my paper when we started our Chalk Talk; when I wrote this I really didn't understand how much I was going to learn over the next few weeks. We first started with writing down the wo...
Technically me and you all are the same. Yes we may have different thoughts, feelings, and perspectives, but its what is inside of us that makes us so similar. It is what fuels us and gives us the energy to be unique that makes us so identical. I...
Everywhere in our lives we get bombed with the newest diets and ideas to lose weight and live healthy. After the laws about the Nutrition facts labeling passed everyone should be able to judge if their food is healthy or not. But OH! Wait! There i...
The last few weeks in Biology, we've been learning about bio-molecules and human nutrition. The main things we have talked about and taken notes (or Chalk Talk) on so far were carbohydrates, proteins and lipids and how they are all made up. I also...
Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Lipids.
Proteins monomers are amino acids; there are 20 different commonly known amino acids. Each protein is put together by different variations of the different amino acids. There polymers are polypeptides. Amino A...
Nutrition is very important to the human diet. Here are some nutrition facts to help make a better decission on what you eat.
Carbohydrates are very important to the human body. Carbohydrates provide people with energy to get us through the day. ...
