A Horticultural Holiday
The Sound of Ideas: Wednesday, March 26, 2008
OK, so there's still snow on the ground, and, yeah, there is snow in the forecast, but it won't be long before it all melts and it will be time to get your hands a little dirty. Planting, mulching, spreading compost, seeds or plants--how does anyone know where to begin? We're looking forward to one of the great joys of Spring on the Sound of Ideas, and we've invited a pair of horticulturalists to help plan our gardens. We'll talk about foolproof plants and how to have a beautiful backyard that fits in your budget. Join us Wednesday morning at 9.

Science Cafe: Battling Malaria
The Sound of Ideas: Tuesday, March 11, 2008
Mosquitoes are pests. The bloodthirsty little suckers play a minor role in the food chain, but in much of the world, a major role in disease: diseases like malaria. Science has been fighting malaria for years, and yet it's still the leading killer of children in Sub-Saharan Africa. Tuesday morning at 9, we'll talk with local experts about how a tiny parasite called plasmodium has managed to evade the best minds in science and medicine, and why its days just might be numbered. Pictured: An Anopheles gambiae mosquito in flight after a blood meal. Inset: Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria.

The Return of the Cuyahoga On-Line Curriculum

Included is an entire unit plan containing several cross-curricular lessons correlated to State of Ohio Science Standards in the areas of environmental history, environmental investigation, and eliciting social action.

The Life Depends on Water web site was created in cooperation with Cuyahoga Soil and Water Conservation District to inform and inspire students and the general public into environmental conservation action.
