endangered animals

An endangered species I think that we should save is the giant panda bear. The population of these animals are at its lowest and we should help save them from hunters and poachers. Pandas are rarely found in the wild but most are located in areas in China. Here is a rescue site link for various animals including the giant panda: http://www.webring.com/hub?ring=animalrescue

Differences between chaotic, orderly and complex

There are many differences between chaotic, orderly, and complex things in environmental science. Chaotic means it is random, orderly means it has patterns and complex can have patterns but they are more complicated. Many things are chaotic like when you drop a deck of cards it is chaotic. It is orderly when you drop a backpack because nothing may fall out of it.

How is environmental science different from other science like biology and chemistry

Environmental Science is different from other sciences such as biology and chemistry because in this science, there are things that are impossible to predict. Some things that are impossible to predict are things like the weather, earthquakes, etc. There are too many factors that it is impossible to compute the outcome. Another unique thing about environmental science is fractals and chaos theory. Fractals are things that repeat itself over and over by chance such as snowflakes or lightning.

Brain and Learning

The brain is the central power of the human body. It can store a lot of information as well as control the other parts of the body. The brain is necessary for a person to learn something new. It stores things in different parts of the brain. Some parts store memory, short and long term. Other parts store things like reaction and how to do something. Then there's also the part where it stores information you learn like math in school.

Ramachandran's Experiments

Ramachandran performed many experiments but the one that I thought was most interesting was the experiment about a man who got in a car accident.  He remembered everything that happened before the accident but now he has short term memory loss.  Every 60 seconds, he forgets everything.  Ramachandran would do experiments like showing him where a pen is but in 60 seconds he would not remember where it was or even who Ramachandran was. 

Reproduction

I knew a lot about reproduction before this class but I learned many interesting about reproduction after being in this class as well.  Some interesting things I learned were about the physiology of reproduction.  I learned about libido and how communication increases libido for women.  I also got to see a video of the whole reproductive system and organs.  I think I have a vast knowledge of reproduction now.

Male and Female Dissection

I learned a lot from the male and female dissection video.  The video was very graphic and it showed all the organs of the male and female body.  I got to see the anatomy of a male's penis inside and out.  They showed the inside of a male's testicles which was full of tissue.  A woman's uterus was shown and it was also full of glandular tissue.  I learned that it expands when a woman is pregnant so it makes room for their baby.
