There Is More to Education than Reading, Writing, Mathematics, and the Hard Sciences

However, there is so much more to educating young human beings than making sure they know the facts and figures. The written word means little without the context of what is being said, regardless if it is said ...

Abstract

Theory of evolution as proposed by Darwin has for long hinged on the fossil records to prove the process of evolution. However, the prevalent gaps in the fossils led way to the development of the punctuated equilibrium theory that was proposed by Eldredge and Gould as an alternative to Darwin’s phyletic gradualism theory. The punctuated equilibrium postulated that speciation occurs in an isolated peripheral subsect of population as a rapid change after a period of stasis. Unlike the anagenetic speciation of phyletic gradualism, punctuated equilibrium promotes the concept of cladogenetic speciation. However, punctuated equilibrium does consider rapid anagenetic ...

Effect of Light Intensity on the Rate of Photosynthesis

Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to determine how light intensity affects rate of photosynthesis using seaweed. Introduction In the process of photosynthesis there is combination of water and CO2 from the environment to form oxygen and sugar, mainly glucose (Emeritus, 2010). These products are then used by the plant through the process of respiration producing water and carbon dioxide (Seeley, Stephens, & Tate, 2004).
