 Hello! Today's weekly science post is about Botany and Plant Classification (as won in the poll last week). Let's begin! All plants are under the Kingdom Plantae. Kingdoms. in biology and taxonomy is the second highest taxonomic rank - the first being domain. There are only three domains as we said before - Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Under those three domains are smaller classificatinons called kingdoms. The kingdom Plantae is a Eukaryotic kingdom, under the domain of Eucarya. There are five main kingdoms of the Eukaryotic domain: Protozoa, Chromista (the first two are microogranisms), and Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia.  So Plantae is: Life -> Domain: Eukaryota -> Kingdom: Plantae That's just the plant kingdom, but we haven't even focused on the classifications of plants. The Kingdom Plantae can only be divided into two large sections: seed growing and non seed growing,. Angiosperms are one of the seed growing subgroups, and they have flowers, generally near ...

 Week 7: What is Fire? After a week of polling, the winning topic is "What is Fire?" under the Physics section.  Everybody knows fire, but if they are asked "What is it?", we usually associate it with heat. Fire is actually a process of oxidation (the gain of oxygen), that is rapid and releases energy to its surroundings in the form of heat and light. The flame of the fire is a visible part of the fire consistinf of carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen and nitrogen.  Fire produces plasma when hot enough, and they can have different colors accoording to the substances of the fire. Fire can cause the burning process, or combustion, where oxygen and fuel (the material of fires causing the heat and energy involved)  react and create smoke and energy. This is also how fires begin - the reaction of combustion. Combustion is also responsible in important technologies such as heating, motors/cars, energy, and fireworks.  https://forms.gle/TiWrXHC1tcmARPbX6

 Hello! Today after a week of polling, the topic "What is Graham's Number?" under the field of Mathematics. Graham's Number is a really, really, big number. It can be referred to as "g", and was defined by a man named Ronald Graham. It responds to a theory made by Frank P Ramsey, a mathematician-philosopher. It is 3^3^3^3^N. That was confusing, but let's examine its exact scale. No human can comprohend its size, it is larger than a googolplex (which is 10 to the power of 100 to the power of 10), and is so large the observable universe is roo small to contain a representation of it, even if just one digit occupies one planck volume - the smallest measurement humans can define. Still, it is finite.  That was complex but short! This is the form: https://forms.gle/TQF7f9EtcTo2A2LJ6

 Hello! Today's ScienceForDummies week 5 will be a bit short because of some time restraint. The poll winner is: Nobody! Everyone got the same amount: 1-1-1. Thus, I chose the topic about Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryota. To put it simply, all living things can be classified into three supreme seperate sections: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryota. What are the differences? Bacteria and Archaea are similar but their cell walls are different (they are both single celled organisms). Bacterial cell walls are "peptidoglycan", but Archaean walls ade not. Peptidoglycanism means it consists od sugars and amino acids, forming a mesh-like layer, Both Bacteria and Archaea are procaryotes, meaning they are single celled. Another difference between the Bacteria and Archaea classes are that Archaea, at least to our knowledge, cannot cause any disease to us, because they cannot create toxicity. Bacteriums, infamously do cause disease. Eukaryotes, the third class includes organisms with ce...
