What state is the 5th most biodiverse geology? Alabama is! Join us today to learn about what gives this state so much biodiversity.

GRADE 7 – Life Science – Unity and DiversityObjective B.7.1: Define biosphere, biomes, ecosystem, community, population, and organisms.

SCI.7.6.1: Define ecosystem, population, and organism.
Objective

SCI.7.6.4: Describe an ecosystem and its components. 16. Construct an explanation based on evidence (e.g., cladogram, phylogenetic tree) for the anatomical similarities and differences among modern organisms and between modern and fossil organisms, including living fossils (e.g., alligator, horseshoe crab, nautilus, coelacanth).

Kelly Mill Med Pro Middle School
PS2.B: Types of Interactions Electric and magnetic (electromagnetic) forces can be attractive or repulsive, and their sizes depend on the magnitudes of the charges, currents, or magnetic strengths involved and on the distances between the interacting objects.

The Science of Sound

by | Sep 23, 2023 | Missouri

KSHE Radio Station
ME.2.A.6 i. Describe how sound energy is transferred by wave-like disturbances that spread away from the source through a medium k. Predict how the properties of the medium (e.g., air, water, empty space, rock) affect the speed of different types of mechanical waves (i.e., earthquake, sound)
What is sound? How is sound formed and how does it travel? How can music played miles away be picked up and played through my radio? Join us today at KSHE Radio to learn more about how vibrations are converted into communication and music.
