Pandas, rhinoceroses, and turtles are endangered species, as there are very few left of each kind. An animal is considered endangered when its population is low, and people must take steps to help the species survive. Scientists can determine that an animal or plant that is now extinct once lived by discovering fossils, which are remains left behind from living things in the past.

Sloths powerpoint
Sloths are the world's slowest mammals that can live up to 30 years. There are two main types - two-toed sloths that live in Central and South America and eat fruits, plants, leaves, insects and sometimes birds' eggs or small animals. Three-toed sloths are critically endangered and have a limited diet of leaves and bugs. They are threatened by hunting and habitat loss.
The Five Kingdoms
The document discusses the five kingdoms of life - bacteria, fungi, plants, animals, and protists. It notes that animals can be divided into vertebrates, which have backbones, and invertebrates, which do not. Examples are provided of vertebrates like cows and humans, and invertebrates such as worms and crabs to illustrate the difference. The goal is to understand the five kingdoms and distinguish between vertebrate and invertebrate animals.
The living primates
Primatology is the study of primates and how they have adapted to their environments. There are two major primate groups: prosimians like lemurs and lorises, and anthropoids like monkeys, apes, and humans. Anthropoids are further divided into platyrrhines of South America, and catarrhines including Old World monkeys, apes, and humans. Characteristics of primates include features of the hands, legs, vision and large brains. Fossil evidence shows that early primates from 55 million years ago had traits like nails and grasping abilities suited for tree dwelling. The emergence of anthropoids is not well documented in the fossil record, but conditions
5 Primates
Primates emerged around 58 million years ago and can be divided into several families including prosimians, New World monkeys, Old World monkeys, and hominoids. Primates are distinguished from other mammals by adaptations for tree living like stereoscopic vision, grasping hands, and large brains. The hominoids are the group that includes both apes and humans, who are tailless with large, complex brains and who are good suspensory climbers. Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives, with whom we share over 98% of our DNA.

Jackrabbits are not rabbits but hares that are born with more fur, are bigger with larger ears and longer hind legs compared to rabbits. Jackrabbits can be identified by their very big tipped ears, big eyes, varied fur coloration, whiskers and short tail. They are herbivores that eat over a pound of plants like cacti and grasses each day and when threatened can run up to 40 mph and jump up to 10 feet to escape predators.

Why does it seems that the sun move
The document discusses the motion of the Earth and how it causes day and night as well as apparent motion of the sun. It explains that the Earth rotates on its axis every 24 hours, which causes one side of the Earth to face the sun while the other side faces away, creating day and night. It also discusses how the Earth revolves around the sun over the course of 365 days.

All living things go through life cycles that involve different stages of development. The butterfly's life cycle has four main stages: egg, caterpillar, pupa, and adult butterfly. As a caterpillar, it eats leaves and grows quickly before forming a pupa and undergoing transformation inside until emerging as a young butterfly and finally a mature adult butterfly that can lay new eggs.
How can a simple machine reduce force
Simple machines make work easier by changing the amount or direction of force needed. There are six basic types of simple machines: the lever, pulley, wheel and axle, inclined plane, screw, and wedge. Compound machines combine two or more simple machines; examples include scissors, bicycles, and wheelbarrows.
Push and pull
This document discusses how forces like pushes and pulls cause motion by either moving things away (push) or bringing them closer (pull). It defines any push or pull that moves an object as a force. The document encourages the reader to have a wonderful day.
How does soil affect living things
The document discusses the formation and composition of soil. It explains that soil is formed over long periods of time through the weathering and breakdown of rocks and the decomposition of dead plants and animals. The soil is made up of weathered rocks, humus from decomposed materials, and minerals. It has distinct layers with varying properties including the topsoil, subsoil, and bedrock below. Different types of soil like sand, silt, and clay are determined by the size of particles. Loam is an ideal soil made of a mixture of these. The document emphasizes the importance of protecting soil as a vital natural resource.
How do we use air & water
This document discusses different types of water resources and how water is treated and distributed for human use. It explains that there are two main types of water - fresh water found in rivers, lakes, glaciers etc. and salt water found in oceans. It then outlines several key steps in treating water from rivers and lakes, such as allowing solids to settle, filtering through layers of sand and gravel, adding chemicals to kill harmful organisms, and pumping the clean water for distribution.
Presentation1
Natural disasters and diseases can change environments and affect living organisms. Floods occur when heavy rain falls in a short period, covering land with water, while droughts are long periods without rain that can dry up rivers and lakes, increasing wildfire risks that damage plant and animal habitats. Diseases from mold, bacteria, and mildew also easily spread in environments and harm living things, with one infected tree having the potential to destroy an entire forest.
Plants needs
Plants need five things to survive and grow: oxygen from the air, water, nutrients found in soil, space to grow freely, and sunlight. Fruits were once living parts of plants but become non-living when picked after ripening.
Adaptation
Organisms adapt traits that help them survive in their environments. Some examples of adaptations include camouflage, mimicry, nocturnal behavior, hibernation, and migration. Camouflage allows animals to blend into their surroundings and hide from predators or to ambush prey. Mimicry enables some animals to resemble other organisms for protection. Nocturnal habits, hibernation, and migration are ways animals adapt to changes or shortages in their environments like weather changes or lack of food sources. Plants also exhibit adaptations like deep roots that help them survive in difficult conditions.
Volume
Liquids and gases take the shape of their container, unlike solids which do not. Volume is defined as the space occupied by matter, and can be measured using tools like measuring cups. Common units for measuring volume include liters and milliliters.
How do ecosystems compare
The document compares different ecosystems by describing their climates and key characteristics. Tropical rainforests have hot, wet climates all year and contain the greatest diversity of plants and animals. Temperate forests' climates change with warm summers and cold winters, and they receive less rain than rainforests. Wetlands are covered in water most of the year, found along rivers and coasts, and help absorb flood waters and cleanse dirty water. Oceans are the largest ecosystem and most living things inhabit the sunlit, shallow areas near the surface.
Food chains and food webs
Food chains and food webs show how energy passes from one organism to another as they eat each other. A food chain tracks the flow of energy starting with a plant that gets its energy from the sun, then to an animal that eats the plant, then another animal that eats the first animal. A food web is more complex, showing that organisms can be part of multiple food chains as some animals eat different plants and other animals.
Herbivores, carnivores and omnivores
This document discusses three categories of animals based on their diets: herbivores, which eat only plants; carnivores, which eat only meat; and omnivores, which eat both plants and meat. Herbivores include deer, rabbits, elephants, turtles, monkeys and giraffes. Carnivores include lions, crocodiles, snakes and eagles. Omnivores include bears, raccoons, pigs, and humans.
Ecosystem
An ecosystem is a place where living and non-living things interact, and can exist in various environments from wet to dry and small to large. In an ecosystem, living things depend on each other and non-living things like water, soil and sunlight. Producers like plants make their own food through photosynthesis, while consumers like animals obtain food by eating other organisms, and decomposers like worms break down dead plants and animals and return nutrients to the soil.
Habitat 180115095217
This document discusses habitats and the different animals that live in each one. It explains that a habitat provides all the needs for animals to survive, including food, water and shelter. It then identifies the five main habitats as ocean, forest, desert, grasslands, and Antarctica, and provides some example animals for each one. The habitats differ in their characteristics such as being wet or dry, hot or cold, containing trees, grass or snow.
Frog life cycle
The frog life cycle consists of 5 stages - eggs are laid in water, tadpoles hatch with gills and swim, tadpoles grow legs and lungs and become young frogs, young frogs resemble adult frogs and live on land, frogs undergo complete metamorphosis as each stage looks physically different.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
The cost of acquiring information by natural selection
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:
