7 ways to protect environment

These are 7 simple habits to implement in your everyday life which will make a difference.
1.      Use compact fluorescent light bulbs:
It is true that these bulbs are more expensive, but they last much longer and they can save energy and in the long term your electricity bill would be reduced.
2.      Donate:
You have tons of clothes or things you want to get rid of. If they are still usable, give them to someone who needs them. You may also choose to give them to associations. These associations may sell them and collect a little money. Not only will you protect the environment, but you will also contribute to a good cause.
3.      Turn off your devices:
When you do not use a house device, turn it off. For example, if you don't watch TV, turn it off. Turn off the light when you leave a room (even if you intend to return.) It's an easy habit to take up which will help you save a lot of money.
4.      Walk or cycle:
Driving is one of the biggest causes of pollution. If you want to use your car, ask yourself the following question: do I really need my car? Walk or use your bike if the journey is a short one.
5.      Detergent:
Follow the recommended dose of detergent to wash your clothes or dishes.
6.      leaky faucets:
Watch leaky faucets, which can cause a significant increase in the the water bill. An average of 120 liters of water can be wasted due to a dripping faucet.
7.      Rainwater:Think of recovering rainwater. This water can be used for different purposes.

Instructional Aids

Instructional aids: are devices that assist an instructor in the teaching-learning process. Instructional aids are not self-supporting; they are supplementary training devices. The key factor is that instructional aids support, supplement, or reinforce.

Instructional aids help students remember important information. And when properly used, they help gain and hold the attention of students. Audio or visual aids can be very useful in supporting a topic, and the combination of both audio and visual stimuli is particularly effective since the two most important senses are involved.

Rainforest

Rainforests are the Earth's oldest living ecosystems.
They are so amazing and beautiful.


These incredible places cover only 6 %of the Earth's surface but yet they contain MORE THAN 1/2 of the world's plant and animal species!

A Rainforest can be described as a tall, dense jungle. The reason it is called a "rain" forest is because of the high amount of rainfall it gets per year. The climate of a rain forest is very hot and humid so the animals and plants that exist there must learn to adapt to this climate.

Oceans & Marine life Science

Scientists believe that life on Earth began in the ocean, approximately 4 billion years ago.   And in fact, it was only about 500 million years ago that life emerged from the ocean onto the land.  That means that ocean life has existed 8 times longer. 

The ocean covers 70% of the Earth's surface and is still the home of the majority of Earth's living creatures. And the ocean also produces much of the oxygen upon which all human beings, and animals, depend!! Of course many of peaople love Sea Food
