math & science tie-ins to gardening?

My brother who lives in Canada dropped by yesterday with his young teenagers to visit. After dinner, it was cool enough to go out in the yard, to admire the garden. I took the kids over to the "white garden" where we watched Datura inoxoides open up before our eyes, while carpenter bees buzzed impatiently waiting for the flowers to open. We discussed the implications of the decreasing honey bee populations, U.C.D.'s role in investigating the decline, the increasing importance of solitary bees, the narcotic qualities of the Datura plants, looked and smelled the many species of Nicotiana flowers that were expanding open and releasing their fragrance, examined the long tubes on all the night bloomers, adapted for moth pollination... The kids were fascinated by the whole thing going on before their eyes. As we went back inside, they were enthusing how cool plants were, and I hope I may have encouraged the start of a new generation of gardeners or budding plant scientists. There's a wealth of fascinating information that ties into the simple pleasures of tending a flower garden, and it's a joy to introduce the young to this fact.

Valerie, look under "Tools" and then "Add-ons". It will pop up a window. Down on the lower right corner you will see "Get extensions". It will bring up a page with all the fun stuff that Firefox has to offer. Look for Scrapbook. I just updated my Firefox to the latest version and it has an automatic spell check as I am typing! Whoo-hoo, no more misspelled words! Rebecca

Well, I'm flabberghasted. All my years of all level math courses and I've never heard of the "order of operations". I'm pretty darn sure that we weren't taught them. How many of you were? No wonder 73% got it "wrong". That shows how many people don't know, don't remember or never learned the order of operations. It really doesn't judge how good you are at math. (Guess I'm just a poor loser cuz I didn't have a clue.) That reminds me of "new math"....which was new when I was in college. 1 whole semester of 1's and 0's and learning why 1 + 0 = 1. OK, now my question is: How would you write that problem so that the answer IS 320? This post was edited by lindakathy on Mon, Dec 31, 12 at 3:02

I have a problem with saying teachers and other state employees' pensions are what's making the states drown. How about all the government waste and fraud. How about welfare, food stamps, housing, heating, healthcare, etc. etc. etc. for so many people that refuse to work. Go ahead, slam me. But it's true. I can absolutely tell you that all those things are totally abused in the area where I live. So very many of them just don't want to work, and why should they? I know there are people that truly need help. But it should not be generational. My husband is a retired state worker, a prison guard in a maximum security prison, don't tell me he doesn't deserve the pension he earned, and which, by the way, he contributed to all his working years. Do you know how kids act in these schools now? Do you know there's not a damn thing a teacher can do to them? Do you know teachers are not allowed to fail any students? My sister is a teacher in MD, has been teaching for 17 years, she's never failed a student. Her principal goes in and changes the failing grades. If they have too many kids fail, they lose state funding. I have 2 nieces that just starting teaching this year. One first grade, one sixth grade. The sixth graders are horrendous! They are too cool for school already. The parents have been called, repeatedly. Where there's not family structure, no one at home to teach these kids right from wrong, and that there are consequences for their actions. When there's no one at home to make sure they eat properly, get enough sleep, take a bath, and let them know they are safe and loved, they aren't going to give a d@mn about school.

Math was really good.

I got to tooling around looking the others and I canNOT stop laughing at Healthy Food. I don't understand half of what the kids are saying, hey, they're kids, but the rest is hilarious! "Guess what I'm gonna sing a few words of a song... TWinkle, twinkle little star... Guess what song it was! Guess! There is only one minutes left in my brain!... Yes!!!! It's twinkle twinkle little star". And then he grins hugely. I love the way kids think and what just comes spurting out! And the adults recreating it in their own scenes. Pure joy! Just what I needed.

Oops. I was glad I wasn't wearing any mascara today, but I am. Must go clean up from crying so hard.

I missed Healthy Food, off to look for it. Another good one is the "Blind Date". :o)

BRILLIANT!

The "Healthy Food" segment includes the mother making her kids drink some vile-looking 'green juice', and one of the chilren tells us it's something his 'buscha' made. This morning's Chicago Tribune has a story about the local cardinal who is being treated for cancer. He says the Polish nuns insist he drink three glasses of *asparagus juice* every day! (He says it can't hurt. Oh, yeah?)

(You may know that Chicago is Poland's second largest city. LOL)

I love asparagus, don't know if I could choke down 3 glasses of asp. juice daily though, brrr.
I didn't notice the green juice in the kid's segment, was too horrified by the pancakes. Will have to watch it over again. :o)

"These pancakes are super THICK mom (such disdain in his voice)!" The way those tofu-pancakes look and thud on the plate. Oh, I love it. Thanks petra! They're all so good. They have a channel and I watched a couple more today.

Weather was good. The weather changes from sunny to rainy to windy and the moon comes up all within minutes of each other... while the other kid tells what he does in each type of weather. Poor thing looks so confused when the moon rises, but he figures it out.

Camping is a riot! Ninja vanish! What? guffaw...

Rob, Weather cracked me up too. The guys who do these just have the funniest facial expressions and body language. "Driver's Ed" and "Dance Class" are also pretty funny. But Math Class is still my favorite. :o)

Petra, I just gotta thank you. I am just now getting around to watching more of them. I laugh so hard, I am crying! Today, I found episode number 1, punching cars. I have been avoiding it becasue I think what could that mean? It's hilarious! At one point, the little girl gets really confused. "He went to the park. No, he went to the door. Then he peed. Then end." And it show the guy at the park, then at the door... Later, the guy who wants to punch their car comes over for a fight and in the middle of it, "and then he went to sleep." The dude looks so confused, but he lies down on the grass. Hilarious!
