Q1 Botany Benchmark

Posted by Hagar Mohamed in Botany · Aziz · y1 on Monday, October 22, 2018 at 11:54 am

In this project, my group and I was able to research different Indigenous groups. The ingenious group we researched are Inuit, Lenape Indians, Bedouin, and Himba. These groups used plants and many different ways. Climate change is a huge issue for indigenous for many reasons. One of the biggest reason is climate change causes the death of many plants and animals that these people need to live. It also destroys where indigenous people need to live. The Indigenous plants, cultures, and wisdom can be conserved by protecting them from climate change by greenhouse, also the Indigenous plants, cultures, and wisdom should be taught to younger people to learn more about the Indigenous and know the value of plants in our lives and how other people facing problems because the lack of plants. The plant anatomy affects plant physiology because of the way they may be taken care of.

Indigenous plants, cultures, and wisdom can be conserved if we put more effort into protecting them and giving more respect for their culture and what they do. The structure of a plant affects how they function. For instance, a Venus Fly Trap is structured the way it is so that it can eat bugs. Humans can affect how plants are affected by the climate because the actions of humans always affect how the environment is which affects the plants in that environment. Like when people smoke, it gets in the air which then kills plants. This is why we need to not only take a priority in taking care of plants, but also take a priority in helping indigenous people.

Q1 Benchmark: Comparative Ethnobotany

Conservation of heritage buildings is very important because it provides a sense of identity and continuity in a fast-changing world for future generations. We can help the plants by stopping or Reducing Your Use of Disposable Plastics, Support your Local Farmer's Market, and Conserve Energy. The natural processes of plants protect our planet and supply the air we breathe and the water we drink. How does plant anatomy (structure) affect plant physiology (function)? The plant anatomy (structure) may affect plant physiology (function) because for the climate change and proper nurturing.

Q1 Benchmark: Comparative Ethnobotany

The way that indigenous plants and the culture be preserved as a whole is by having more classes teach these kinds of things. This information can be shared amongst students at the grade level of 5th grade and could teach it again in the sophomore year of high school. There could be special schools days where they acknowledge indigenous culture and spend a day or however long they want to spend celebrating and cultivating that culture. Plant anatomy affects plant physiology because plants need to be structurally strong so that it can do certain features; a plant that thrives in rainy conditions and is built for humid areas such as the rainforest isn't going to work the same if it was suddenly put in an environment like a desert, it wouldn’t survive. Humans interactions affect a plants ability to adapt to changing climates if it’s a plant that is always in a constant environment. If a plant is always being nurtured by having constant light and being given water at certain times throughout the day the plant will never have to experience a drought of water or sometimes not seeing the sun. Since the plant is in a constant environment it will always know only that constant.

Q1 Benchmark: Comparative Ethnobotany

Posted by Elijah Bey in Botany · Aziz · y1 on Monday, October 22, 2018 at 8:39 am

Indigenous plants, cultures, and wisdom can be conserved by protecting them from many environments that may cause harm to them. The plant anatomy (structure) may affect plant physiology (function) because of the way they may be taken care of. Many human interactions may affect plants ability to adapt to changing climates depends on how they are being treated and not forgotten. You may mess up the seeds when taking care of them or watering them too much or not often. When taking care of plants I was wondering what is one of the best ways to take care of them every day. Also, the indigenous groups use plants for clothing. When researching more about indigenous groups was very interesting when learning all they abilities in what they may do to the plants.

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1srS6yJxCMD9bCUhgJpyYMoF0wkCHAYucCdodFCdF5xw/edit#slide=id.p Indigenous plants, cultures, and wisdom should be protected from what will put them in danger. The Dependence of how plants are structured effects how they work and how they are staying out of trouble. Human interactions affects plants ability of changing climates depends on how humans care for the plants and if they are using the plants for good use. Something that was interesting and stood out to me is the indigenous group use their staple crops including cotton, potatoes, corn, and coca, the plant used in cocaine production and what Coca-Cola was named after. It’s also interesting to see a small culture turn into so huge. Learning about the different groups of people made me see how plants can be used in many different ways and why they are so important to human life.

Indigenous plants, cultures, and wisdom can be conserved by protecting them from what you know that would hurt them. 
Depending how plants are structured effects how they function and how they are taking care of. Human interactions affects plants ability to changing climates depends on how humans take care of plants and what they are using them for. Something that stood out to me is indigenous group use plants for clothing because I am a fan on clothes and it interesting to see culture coming from so small into something used for so big. Learning about the different indigenous groups made me see a bigger picture on plants and why they are important and how they can supply human needs.

Exploring Differences In Tribes


Plants uses

  • The plants have many uses in different cultures because each culture has a different point of view

Abenaki

   Native American tribe and First Nation.The role of the plants is something that may have helped them in there everyday life when planting different foods to eat everyday and sometime make cool objects out of them.

Angola

     Natural or man-made fires occur frequently in savanna vegetation, and tree species are thus usually resistant to fire.


What is the climate like ?

  • When we discuss climate change it refers to global or regional climate patterns so for these tribes we will go through what they experience...


  • Traveling for more resources will change

  • More carbon released may create more changes

  • Changes in food sources, perceived reduction in weather

  • Deforestation and forest fragmentation

Angola:  Climate. Like the rest of tropical Africa, Angola experiences distinct, alternating rainy and dry seasons. The coastal strip is tempered by the cool Benguela Current, resulting in a climate similar to coastal Peru or Baja California. It is semiarid in the South and along the coast to Luanda.

Abenaki:  North America extends to within 10° of latitude of both the equator and the North Pole. It embraces every climatic zone, from tropical rainforest and savanna on the lowlands of Central America to areas of permanent ice cap in central Greenland.


Events/ evolution overtime ?

  • When it comes to evolution we talk about learning and growing into something more to improve...

    • The Abenaki are a Native American tribe and First Nation

    • The Abenaki live in Quebec and the Maritimes of Canada and in the New England region of the United States




Similarities and differences ?

The Northern Mbundu or Ambundu are a Bantu people living in Angola's North-West, North of the river Kwanza. While Abenaki were in america

Final Project for Group 4: : https://rmccann19.wixsite.com/mysite/other My group and I can say by doing this project we are walking away with very useful knowledge. By learning how the smallest, the most accessible part of a plant can be such a useful tool for a variety of things. The indigenous groups that we have chosen for our project on all found multiple uses for plants. From using the roots of a plant for medical uses, such as pain relief to using the branches of a plant for building such things as sweat lodges and also woven into basket and others. The medical uses for plants used many different parts of the plants for different things. As these groups found ways to use a plant, as relief of pain and burn to treatments for gonorrhea. The indigenous medicinal knowledge is still used for research today. We would say learning this information actually caused us to have a diverse on plants. Honestly I never thought a single plant could be so helpful to us. I feel as though if we spoke more about indigenous tribes, the uses of plants, their beliefs, and lifestyle it would not only help many people gain knowledge about the importance of plants but also would also push awareness on the environmental issues happening today. For an example, the Lenape tribe believed that the land belonged to the community, due to this shelters, food, etc. were shared. If this was something everyone learned, and understood the world honestly be a better place. You could even look as the tribes structures and practices as basic rights and laws. One belief that stuck out to my group and I was that, people were entitled to what they trapped or hunted but no one should go hungry. Today many people are trying to solve issues that are caused by hunger. If everyone was aware of the issue of hunger, this would be something everyone would believe in.

I think indigenous agriculture can be preserved simply by un-industrial farmers and gardeners performing the same methods of indigenous cultures. If indigenous methods can escape their original culture and be used by the greater population they can survive in modern culture. We can adapt to changing climates by monitoring the change in climate and influence our new methods by those that thrived in the new climate we will be in. Our actions can also be used to selectively breed plants so they are better suited to the new climate. What stood out to me was how sophisticated and advanced these cultures agricultures are and how much thought went into individual methods. It is also awesome to learn about these culture's agriculture and compare it to methods used by Europeans and see how boring those methods are, or maybe I just see them as boring because they are standard to me. I'm wondering why with automation our agriculture has become very standardized and there isn't much variation in mechanized farming like how there is in indigenous farming.
