Minecraft Meiosis
Here are the stages of meiosis built in a minecraft world. Meiosis leads to variation. This helps the species to survive.

Climate in Canada – Prairies
Climate Change Causes in the Prairies
Continued development as the population increases has led to more trees being cut down. This deforestation reduces the amount of CO2 that can be taken out of the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Tree planting efforts must continue. Agroforestry is occurring in Alberta where farm owners are planting trees in agricultural land. Potash mining in Saskatchewan provides fertilizer which leads to plant growth and removal of CO2 but mining potash requires a lot of water. This water use needs to be considered in a drying climate.
Climate Change Effects in the Prairies
The prairies will see a small food production increase because of climate change. The hot weather will increase the growing season. More CO2 will lead to more plant life flourishing. With the hotter temperatures, sufficient irrigation will require more water. With the prairies’ focus on agriculture, industry could increase in a warmer CO2 rich climate. As the risk of fires increase, more money will have to be spent on fire prevention. If fire prevention isn’t pursued, some farms could lose crops due to forest fires.

Planet Populators – Fragmento
FRAGMENTANIANS
The Planet
The fictional planet whose population I had to manage is called Fragmento. Above is a picture of the aliens that populate it. These are the Fragmentanians. They are a peace-loving people that love driving vehicles. The are all vegetarians and are the only animals that live on their planet.
Fragmento’s method of Reproduction
The aliens living on Fragmento reproduce in a similar way to the asexual reproduction method of Fragmentation on earth. That means that each alien is a genetic copy of its parent. There are many advantages to this method of reproduction. One is that a large quantity of offspring are reproduced. The Fragmentanians do not have to worry about finding a mate. They go through a process called slicing where they are cut in half by a guillotine like structure. After 24 hours, each half regrows. This works whether the Fragmentarian is cut lengthwise or widthwise.
Mitosis vs. Meiosis
The Fragmentanians go through repeated Mitosis to reproduce the contents of the nuclei in their cells. What is the difference between Meiosis and Mitosis? While Meiosis goes through PMAT twice and includes crossing over, the Mitosis that the Fragmentanians use only goes through PMAT once. Identical copies of the DNA are produced.
How this method affects the planet
Because of the lack of variety of beings on this planet, the planet is in a precarious state. The problem is that the whole population could be wiped out with a single disease as there is no variety in the species. Masks and hand sanitization is a big part of this planet.

Static Electricity Video Lab
Here is an example of a video lab. It shows how you can use household items to find which two items when rubbed together created the greatest static charge. You can see here how you can embed the video into your Edublogs portfolio through YouTube and through Microsoft Sway.
If you can’t host a video on YouTube, you can put a video on Sway and embed it here.

Purpose: Which fruit will produce the most electric voltage?
Hyp0thesis: When I attach a galvanized nail and a copper strip to a _______, the greatest voltage will be produced.
Materials: Fruit, Voltmeter, 2 wires, 2 different metals (Copper / zinc), knife
Procedure:
- Cut the piece of fruit
- Put in 2 pieces of metal
- Attach to the voltmeter using wires
- record the results
- compare results from several pieces of fruit
WHY? The _____ will produce the greatest voltage because _______
Results:
apple – .4 volts
potato – .6 volts
Conclusion:
What is causing electrons to flow?
The fruit is an electrolyte solution allowing the electrons on the metal to flow.
Independent variable – type of fruit
Dependent variable – voltage
