BIOQ121 - Foundations of Critical Enquiry Assignment B – Traditional Evidence Native Quinine Tree and its medicinal qualities and uses amongst North Western NSW Aborigines Name: Rebecca Smith SN: 238850 Australian Aborigines have been using native plants for both food and medicine for thousands of years. Their special relationship with the land includes an understanding of all animals and plants. This relationship is not only important for food and medicine but also their spiritual beliefs. According to Isaacs (2002, p.197) ‘Aboriginal herbal medicine has been gleaned by the best scientific technique of all – extensive trial and presumably error, and observations of the results, not on animals in test laboratories but on human patients
and Weed control experts. Hypothesis If home-made and commercial herbicides are sprayed on weeds then the commercial herbicides will be more effective, because the chemicals are made by experts who know what chemicals kill and prevent weeds. Experiment Fill 2 different boxes and fill then with soil make sure to use the same type and amount of soil. Measure around one cup of grass seed and sprinkle it on the soil. Water the seeds daily until the grass is at least 1.5 inches tall.
Effect of ammonium nitrate on Ceratopteris richardii Abstract: Ceratopteris richardii, also known as C-fern, is commonly used in research studies as a model plant because of its short generation time. In this experiment, we aimed to observe the effects of ammonium nitrate on this species of ferns. To achieve this, we inoculated and evenly spread three drops of C. richardii spores into two separate and sterile petri dishes, one control group and one experimental group. The experimental treatment contained 1% ammonium nitrate on the medium and the control treatment was merely a normal nutrient-rich agar. Then, we performed an f-test and a t-test to determine if there was any germination difference between the treatments.

From this map, we can conclude what the New World gained and what the Old World gained. This is important because it leads to the development of food and knowledge of plants and animals. Unfortunately it lead to diseases spreading and killing of many people. Source: Nathan Nunn and Nancy Qian, Journal of Economic Perspectives—Volume 24, Number 2—Spring 2010—Pages
The learning environment in environmental education Everything we see around us is our environment – natural and human-made.

Its main purposes are the analysis of statistics collected on the amount of organic food produced, the markets in each region, and trends to be expected in organic production. The statistics collected from 141 countries worldwide form the basis of the data and the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) serves as a credible source of information making this article seem very convincing. These statistics and sources help Willer provide insight into how much land organic farmers take up and where the most popular organic farms exist, being in Africa. The organic food industry itself would serve as a great discussion topic for this class considering the availability and advertisement for organic foods and products in every local
