Assignment 2

2. Review your lists and then:

a. For each item on all three of these lists tell if it is living or nonliving.

1. Hatching egg. (LIVING)
2. Behaviour change. (LIVING)
3. Gaining/losing weight. (LIVING)
4. Ice melting. (NONLIVING).
5. Sugar dissolving into water. (NONLIVING).

b. For each item that changes quickly enough to notice, describe what is happening that causes you to notice change.

When an egg cracks, you are alerted of a change in the nature of the egg via brain. Same with number 2, 3, and 5. Number 3 you are alerted because, according to the scale, your measurements are different than last time.


Person's appearance changing.(LIVING)
Plant growing.(LIVING)
Tadpole--Frog.(LIVING)

(With all these things, you only notice changes with your own memory, and of course Time.)

Pupils dilating. (LIVING).
Electrons moving [?]. (NON-CORPOREAL).

Life Science Lesson 2 Exam

1. Write a definition of environment in your own words.

An environment is an ecosystem, a city, of different things that maintain the entire stability of the world around them. Different organisms and even non-living things occupy different places in the fabric (and behave) in such a way that the sheet of an ecosystem hold together. An environment is a place that requires all of the different things above to live and stay in order. A shopping mall, i.e., needs good economy, customers, and companies willing to form alliances. A rain forest needs trees for shelter for caterpillars, and caterpillars to eat dead leaves to keep the soil good for the trees. It goes in a circle.
Do you see the mental picture?

2. In what ways do YOU react to changes in your environment? List and describe at least three different ways.

a. When it is over, say, 90 degrees outside, my body starts to perspire, and that evaporates, taking heat with it. (Which, I have noticed, never works OR makes me hotter. Our sweat glands must be in mid-evolution. This is plausible, since we're not the most intelligent species on the block {Dolphins are, and this is no Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference}, and therefore not the top rung of the ladder which is as follows: )

Squid |.-.|, Crow ) :/\ Horse : (:|) Pig :oI Cat/Dog ;^{ Ape (:)| Man :<) Dolphin --'_>

b. If it gets colder, I manually (Not automatically) start to get more active to maintain my body temperature.

c. In fall, when fruit in my garden is at it's most ripe, I react by harvesting it for food for survival.

3. Do all living things change? List changes that you have observed in three living things in your environment recently.
a. My cats shed more when it's hot.
b. Trees lose their leaves in fall.
c. Flowers stop blooming in the winter.

4. Do non-living things change? List changes that you have observed in three non-living things in your environment recently.
a. My computer responded to me pressing the power button.
b. The TV turned on.
c. An electron moved.

Assignment 4b: Evening Observations; at least an hour after the sun has set, go out without any source of light. Stay out for 20 minutes. Describe your observations.

A WALK IN THE NIGHT
There were big tall trees that might be trembling aspens. The leaves went in big thick spirals around the trunks. There was a dark sky with light pollution blocking the stars. We went through an alley. There was a vine with big purple flowers climbing the side of a garage. There were white roses in our neighbor's yard, more stems than flowers. There was a large green plant with gigantic frond-like leaves. A person had big gray rocks in his front yard. There were not many sounds except people and average city sounds. I was very cold.
