LEWISTON - A laboratory course in applied botany will be offered this fall through the natural and applied sciences program at USM's Lewiston-Auburn College. Applied botany and laboratory (SCI 340) will examine the growth, structure, reproduction and physiology of plants.
Botany is one of the oldest branches of biology. The earth is home to more than 400,000 documented species of plant life. In turn, the planet depends upon the plants to nurture and sustain all living things.

In his article entitled "," the author explicitly acknowledges the role that interactions among components play in producing organized complexity. By also recognizing the inescapable irreducibility of the interdependence that comes into play as a result of those interactions, he gives ontological status to the wholeness characteristic of systems. He also notes that organisms and living systems are open systems, and that the continuous exchange of matter and energy with the environment causes significant differences to appear, not the least of which is the ability of living systems to achieve a metastable steady state maintained by the flux of energy and materials. The author ends with a discussion of the teleological character present in the structure ...

How can an Alabama teachers' union brag about its refusal to accept Darwinian evolution - as if basic biology could be meaningfully taught without it? Why is there debate about whether global warming is real, despite overwhelming scientific consensus that it is? How can a new Pew poll show that 40 percent of Americans claim not to know what religion President Obama adheres to, or that as many as 18 percent think he is a Muslim, despite his repeated avowal of his Christian faith?
For some time now, Americans have been making a spectacle of their own ignorance. Despite thousands of U.S. casualties and massive news coverage, only 63 percent of young adults can locate Iraq on a map, while 88 percent cannot locate Afghanistan. Two- thirds of Americans cannot name the three branches of govern...

So often, cool and thrilling activities come with a stern warning for kids: Don't try this at home.
Yet, with many science experiments for young ones, that's exactly the point: Please do try this at home. Use everyday household items, like vinegar, cloth, food wrapping and even potato chips. Make a mess. And see how much fun hands-on science can be, educators say.
...Experiments focus on branches of science such as physics, chemistry, earth sciennce and biology. Science appears in just about everything, says au...
