Step By Step Geodesic Dome Video - 0 views

  •  
    Work with Nature. "How to Make a Geodesic Dome / Geo Dome / Bio Dome." YouTube. YouTube, 07 Aug. 2012. Web. 09 Oct. 2013. . This is a Youtube video sponsored by Work with Nature where a man shows on camera, step by step, his building geodesic domes (including his calculations and math). He made this video to help other people who are eager in building domes and to tell people about his business of selling these domes to people who don't want the excitement of building their own. The video uses metal piping and it covers cutting the metal, drilling holes, pressing it, attaching them, the math, the construction, what materials to use, and how to cover the dome. This video will be the most helpful tool I will use during my ILO, because as of October 7th, I have decided to use metal piping for a greenhouse and this video is the perfect step-by-step visual instructor. I will basically follow these steps exactly with maybe some background research and experiments from other websites. I have spent a lot of time on YouTube looking for other videos of this caliber, but this one is by far the best. I've read the reviews and comments for this video and it looks like other people have successfully made domes using this video. This video has already proven a huge help to me. Through this video I have made decisions like what materials to use, how to attach them, and how to do the math that is necessary in making a dome. This source is easy to use, and when you miss a step it is easy to go back and watch it until you have it down perfectly. This video has made me much more confident going ahead with my project now that I have such an easy, usable model to go off of. I highly recommend using this source if you need to make a geodesic dome.

Biology study site: - 1 views

  •  
    Summarize: The main points of the Environmental Biology website is to show the five main nutrient cycles: nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, phosphorus and water and how energy flows through ecosystem. The topics covered include: ~the roles of an organism (such as a consumer, herbivores, etc.) ~energy flow through an ecosystem ~food chains and webs/ pyramids and biological magnification ~Humans vs. natural food chains This article goes through the basics of ecology and is very easy to understand. There are pictures of the cycles that relate to the reading. Review and access: This is a wonderful source because it includes all the different nutrient cycles as well as pictures and writing. It also brings up many concepts: bio magnification, the different roles of an organism and human vs. natural food chain. This website doesn't go in depth in a specific part of ecology, but is instead a basic and broad overview of the whole thing. Most websites either only talk about food chains or nutrient cycles, yet this website includes it all. This website is reliable, because I have compared it to other websites and classwork. I would recommend using this website when learning basic ecology or just refreshing your mind because a lot of simple concepts are mentioned. This article won't take long to read, because everything is pretty broad. Reflect: This source was helpful for me when refreshing my knowledge on the water cycle and learning about the oxygen and nitrogen cycle. I have used this site as a notes resource for the ecology unit in my biology class. This site has helped me to better understand the different cycles, the movement of energy through an ecosystem and food chains vs. food webs. ~Riley

Turkey, Jordan says world has responsibility to end Syria war - 1 views

  •  
    This is A recap of all that's happened in Syria so far, and hopefully what will happen in the future. Its still up in the air right now.
  •  
    Obama said it was not for America to determine who would lead Syria, but he added: "A leader who slaughtered his citizens and gassed children to death cannot regain the legitimacy to lead a badly fractured country." Does anyone know what this quote has to do with the Natural Rights Philosophy 18th century philosopher John Locke wrote about in Two Treatise of Government?

Wolves: A Wildlife Handbook - 0 views

  •  
    This book is very much a wildlife handbook. It is short and succinct. The section that was beneficial to my research about pack structure held very little new information, but one thing stood out. A paragraph talked about the size of a wolf pack, and how it is limited because if the pack is too large wolves can become distant from each other emotionally. Without strong emotional closeness among all wolves in the pack, a pack does not function properly. This was very helpful as it answered an important question I have been thinking about: why don't wolves just run in large herds and maximize the amount of food that they can hunt. A very good resource if even for that small amount of information.

How Products Are Made - 0 views

  •  
    This site has 7 volumes of items and what they are made of. It gives you not only the materials needed to make the item, but also the natural resources that make up each part if the object. I used this site during a science project where we were told to pick a household object and find out everything that it is made of and where it was made. I found this site first and it helped me a ton, I hope it's useful for you too.

Aromatherapy - 0 views

  •  
    I was introduced to this website when I began my Human Development final project on aromatherapy. This site is the best one that I have come across throughout all of my research; it is very organized and there is just so much information. The main headers are aromatherapy articles, aromatherapy recipes, carrier oil profiles, essential oil profiles, hydrosol profiles and aromatherapy books. The purpose of this article is to give you information about what essential oils are and how to use them. I think that this is an amazing source; it starts at the very basics and becomes more complex as you continue. Not only does it tell you about a bunch of oils and their health benefits but it shows you how to make your own aromatherapy recipes. The aromatherapy web is definitely accurate because there are a bunch of people who work on it and I'm sure that they would correct each other if anyone made a mistake. I would recommend this source to anyone who wants to research aromatherapy or who wants to try it. Because this website was so organized it was easy for me to answer my questions. This site helped me to expand my knowledge on aromatherapy and think about all the natural ways of healing.

Bill Nye vs. Ken Ham - 1 views

  •  
    This debate has been a very popular and controversial subject over the past weeks since it was aired. Ken Ham represents the christian, old testament, view of creationism and debates Bill Nye, who defends the theory of evolution, and the earth being 4 billion years old. The premise of Ken Hams argument is that there is a large misconception in modern science, in which "historical science" is studied in he same way as "observational science." His claim is that scientists cannot make claims about the age of the earth or "the past" solely by observing the present. Bill Nye tries to prove his own point that observational science and historical science are in the same category of study, and that the only way to make conclusions about the past, present or future is by observing the natural earth as it is now. Nye also makes a strong effort to disprove the old testament's claim that the earth is only 6,000 years old, and that during Noah's Ark there in fact was a global flood. The debate is extremely thought provoking, no matter who you agree with coming into it. This particular debate is at the core of my ILO focus, and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in the idea of creation.
