ARKive - Discover the world's most endangered species Wildscreen's Arkive project was launched in 2003 and grew to become the world's biggest encyclopaedia of life on Earth. With the help of over 7,000 of the world’s best wildlife filmmakers and photographers, conservationists and scientists, Arkive.org featured multi-media fact-files for more than 16,000 endangered species. Freely accessible to everyone, over half a million people every month, from over 200 countries, used Arkive to learn and discover the wonders of the natural world. Since 2013 Wildscreen was unable to raise sufficient funds from trusts, foundations, corporates and individual donors to support the year-round costs of keeping Arkive online. As a small conservation charity, Wildscreen eventually reached the point where it could no longer financially sustain the ongoing costs of keeping Arkive free and online or invest in its much needed development. Therefore, a very hard decision was made to take the www.arkive.org website offline in February 2019.

A plant is a member of the kingdom Plantae, a living organism that utilizes photosynthesis, a process in which energy from sunlight is converted to chemical energy (food). Structure and Function: Roots anchor the plant in the ground and absorb water and mineral nutrients from the ground. The following is a diagram of the external anatomy of a typical flowering plant: axil - the angle between the upper side of the stem and a leaf, branch, or petiole.axillary bud - a bud that develops in the axil.flower - the reproductive unit of angiosperms.flower stalk - the structure that supports the flower.internode - the area of the stem between any two adjacent nodes.lateral shoot (branch) - an offshoot of the stem of a plant.leaf - an outgrowth of a plant that grows from a node in the stem.

Click here for instructions on searching this data set. To search the data set, enter one or more words from the scientific name in which you are interested into the appropriate fields of the form. For example, enter family names in the Family name field, Genus names in the Genus name field etc. The Taxon name field allows for searches at ranks not covered in the other fields eg subspecies, section etc. The Rank name field will return names at any given rank, eg. select genus from the popup list to restrict the hits to the rank genus. The results of the searches from each field will be combined using a logical AND. N.B. To lookup Gentiana acaulis L., enter: Gentiana in the genus name field, and acaulis in the Species name field.
Växter Det finns drygt 300 000 kända arter av växter i världen. De minsta är bara ett par millimeter stora medan de största träden kan bli mer än 100 meter höga. Läran om växter kallas botanik. De flesta organismer som kallas växter har pigment som gör att de kan omvandla solenergi till socker. De gröna växterna utgör en grupp och indelas bland annat i blomväxter, barrväxter, ormbunksväxter, mossor, kransalger och grönalger. Till växter brukar man även föra grupper från andra utvecklingslinjer, till exempel svampar (inklusive lavar), brunalger och rödalger. Läran om fröväxterna kallas fanerogambotanik. Pollen Pollenprognoser och mätningar har fått en egen webbplats, pollenrapporten.se - besök den gärna! Mer om växter I Den virtuella floran finns finns över 2000 svenska arter (fröväxter och kärlkryptogamer).

KS2 Science Finding out how you move and grow. Can you label the human skeleton? When you've finished move onto the animal skeletons. Do you know which groups living things belong to? Magnets have north poles and south poles. What does a year look like in space? © v2vtraining.co.uk The application consists of two sorting activities and one writing frame to support work towards the end of the unit. Solid, liquid and gas are called the three states of matter. Materials have different properties that make them useful for different jobs.
