 | The Wonders of the Hydrological Cycle The Hydrologic Cycle (or the Water Cycle) is a cycle of evaporation, evapotranspiration, precipitation and infiltration. The sun heats bodies of waters such as oceans and lakes, which causes the water to evaporate and form water vapor. Water vapor is also transpired from trees and soil. The collection of water vapor condenses to form clouds, which move around the globe by air currents. With the right conditions, clouds precipitate; some of the water absorbs into the ground to form an aquifer, and some runs into lakes and streams. This is a continuous cycle, however, human settlement has put a damper on the cycle. For example, industrial waste and toxins can pollute air and water, the building of dams disrupts the natural flow of water, the building of roads cause erosion, to name a few. In order to prevent further harm to the environment, we should consider the consequences of our actions to create a more eco-friendly environment for our future. |

 | Plants Adaptations to Water All living organisms live in an aqueous environment. In our video we explored plant adaptations to water. In order for plants to be healthy they need to maintain one hundred percent humidity. We discussed plants that live in water saturated environments and plants that live in drought like conditions. The Salvinia is a plant that lives in a water-saturated environment. In our video we spoke about how the Salvinia is epiphytic (lives without roots) and absorbs water through brown hairy extensions. We also spoke about plants that live in dry conditions and are forced to focus on water conservation. The adaptations that we explored were: reduced surface area, hairiness, waxy cuticle, seeds, and sunken stomata. We said that a reduced surface area is important because it minimizes the amount of water loss from the leaf. Plants that are hairy slow water loss because the hair provides an obstacle. The waxy cuticle is important because it repels water form the inside and the outside. Seeds are important because they are drought resistant and store the next generation of plants. The sunken stomata are an interesting adaptation because it keeps the stomata humid and minimizes water loss during photosynthesis. All of these adaptations are important in order for plants to be healthy and able to produce the next generation of plants. We hope you enjoy our video! by Tom and Caroline |
 | Naruto Numa Numa SONG: Title: MaYaHi (Valentin Remix Radio Edit) Artist: Dan Balan & Lucas Prata Album: DiscO-Zone I know that the Numa Numa thing bothers some people, but not me and my friends and brothers, so yeah... This was made more for them, so don't complain if it bothers you... Made with clips! The first one with clips I did, so if it has issues, that's why... xD EDIT: You can take your spam posts and shove 'em where the sun don't shine! You know who you are! |
 | Evolutionary Adaptations of Plants For our first video project, our focus was on Lab 2 (plant lab. We showed the evolutionary adaptations of plants due to the properties of water. Our goal with the video was to show our viewers what exactly these adaptations are and give them insight into plant anatomy. Also, we wanted to show how a plants specific adaptation relates to where they grow. We listed some of these adaptations which include hair, seeds, waxy cuticle, and thorns. During this lab, we filmed footage of us with the cactus and the African violet, while describing there specific evolutionary adaptations. This footage was part of our video, as well as several photos of other plants. Water in nature is a supplier of life, but it is also a selective pressure, in which plants have to adapt to in order to survive. All of the characteristics listed above are adaptations of the plants anatomy in order to be best fit to acquire a sufficient amount of water. |

 | Plants and Water: An Evolutionary Relationship This video demonstrates the intimate relationship plants have with water in order to survive. All sorts of plants find various ways to adapt to their environment and consume water. Andrea, Brianna, Alyssa and Solange reinvent the plant/water friendship in their NS201 lab and elucidate it through photography and analysis. |
