Wheel of Life "What if you already had the resources you needed to succeed?" Is your life in balance? If your career is going strong and your income is soaring but you don't have time to enjoy it, you're probably out of balance. If your hobbies and activities are taking you away from your friends and family, maybe you're life is out of balance. If you are so busy with other things that you're ignoring your health, you probably need a balance adjustment. If you have the house, the car, the boat and the lakeside cabin but no one to enjoy it with, your balance is out of kilter. Have you ever felt like your life was out-of-control? If you have, you probably have a problem with balancing life's priorities. Balance is the type of thing that sounds good in theory but is hard to apply in "real" life. With the constant demands from our work and families, it may be difficult to imagine a life that allows for all the things you would like to do. Many people make the mistake of putting other’s needs ahead of their own. However, this may be a costly mistake in the long run. Burnout, depression, and loss of health are often the price we pay for not making balance a priority in our lives. Perhaps intuitively, great leaders and Successful individuals throughout time have known the importance of having balance in their lives. Instead of living to work, they worked to live. In the process, they became much more well-rounded and balanced in their lives characteristics which correlate to Success.

part 2: Plants Plants in the sea are barely noticed and often deemed of little significance by the casual observer. Many divers are even under the impression that plants are relatively rare under the water. Both assumptions are far from the truth. In fact, marine plants are both ubiquitous and of vital importance in the sea. The key characteristic of plants is their ability to use the energy in sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into biologically useful energy in the form of carbohydrates. This process, known as photosynthesis, ultimately provides food for virtually every organism on earth, as well as a by-product we all rely on: the oxygen we breathe. In our second part of Oceans of Life, we look at the plants of the sea, starting with microscopic and single-celled algae and moving on to seaweeds and flowering plants. Small is plentiful From land to sea Until around 450 million years ago, there were no plants on land: all of them were marine. Since that time, however, the situation has almost reversed, with plants colonising the land and evolving a range of forms less and less dependent on the presence of free water. The majority of plant species now found on earth are entirely terrestrial, incapable of living in sea water at all, and several major groups, such as mosses and ferns, have no marine representatives.

'Why the Oceans are Salty' God walked in sorrow to the head of the four rivers flowing out of the garden of eden. His heart was in torment over having to send Adam and Eve out of the garden. He surveyed the horizon burning bright with yellows and reds of the setting sun. His broken heart mourned the innocence lost. He began to cry in great waves of lament for all the pain that the whole of his creations would suffer from that day forward. The sun set and the moon dared not shine his light on God in his sorrow. As God's tears flowed into the rivers, the waters began to turn salty. The marine life, being fresh water creations, began to die and float to the surface. Since the moon hid his light from the world, God didn't see the the rivers turning to death until the sun crested the horizon the next morning. In horror, he looked at the lifeless fish and all manner of marine life floating on the surface of the four rivers. God fell to his hands and knees and beat the soft sand with his fist. He raised up, stretched out his arms and thundered, "No-o-o-o-o-o..." His voice vibrated the waters and brought all the dead things back to life, changing them instantly into wonderful new salt water creatures.

Vichy Elementary Technology Curriculum Website Grade 4 - Science Unit One: How Living Things Survive Biomes: Ocean Oceans cover almost 3/4 of the Earth's surface and contain roughly 97% of the Earth's water supply. The Earth's oceans are all connected to one another. There are four oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic. There are also many seas (smaller branches of an ocean); seas are partly enclosed by land. The largest seas are the South China Sea, the Caribbean Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. The oceans of Earth serve many functions, especially affecting the weather and temperature. They moderate the Earth's temperature by absorbing incoming solar radiation (stored as heat energy). The always-moving ocean currents distribute this heat energy around the globe. This heats the land and air during winter and cools it during summer. Life on Earth originated in the seas, and contines to be home to incredibly diverse web of life. The Ocean habitat has many different biomes, for example the Open Ocean and the Intertidal Zone , where the ocean meets the shore.

Factsheet 2: Life In The Oceans And Seas back top Whales Sharks ... Sargassum Weed Did you know that every group of animals found on land is represented in the sea as well? For example, the phylum Arthropoda is represented on land by the scorpions, and in the sea by the crabs! Indeed, it is believed that all animals (including humans) originated from the sea! The story started about three hundred million years ago, when a type of lungfish left the water, and managed to survive on land. From it evolved all the creatures that live on the land and in the seas. So now, we even have some reptiles and mammals that have re-adapted to the marine environment while still retaining their air-breathing lungs. Such examples include turtles, dolphins and whales. Many animals live in the oceans and seas. These inhabitants range from the smallest protist to the enormous blue whale on whose broad back, eight elephants can stand in a row! The following are examples of some of the inhabitants of the sea: Whales Whales are the largest creatures found in the oceans. The blue whale has an average length of 33 metres, a girth of 12 metres and a weight of up to 150 tonnes! These warm-blooded creatures have a thick layer of fat in their bodies called blubber. The blubber keeps them warm in some of the coldest oceans in the world, allowing them to dive to depths of up to 2,000 metres. It is partly because of this blubber that whales are in demand commercially, and why some have been hunted almost to extinction. There are two types of whales :

Interview by Jill Wolfson , San Jose Mercury News; and Mariel Haag Senior, Prospect High School Interview photos by Len Lahman , San Jose Mercury News Transcribed by Jean Ricket, Tech Museum volunteer Mariel Haag Internationally renowned as the ambassador-at-large to the world's oceans, Dr. Sylvia Earle, 61, is the former chief scientist of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a distinguished marine biologist, a veteran of more than 6,000 hours underwater, leader of the first team of women aquanauts and holder of a depth record for solo deep diving, 1000 meters. Sometimes referred to as "Her Deepness," Dr. Earle is the founder of an ocean engineering firm and is an eloquent spokeswoman for marine conservation. Her 1995 book, "Sea Change: A Message of the Oceans," (Fawcett Columbine) has been described as a Rachel-Carson-like plea for the preservation of the oceans. Her honors include the Explorers Club Lowell Thomas Award and the Director's Award of the National Resources Council. When not underwater, Dr. Earle lives in a home in the Oakland Hills in a wooded setting that she shares with her daughter and a menagerie of cats, dogs, birds and horses. She spoke with writer Jill Wolfson and student Mariel Haag.

Links Background Information Why are oceans so important? 97% of the world's water is held in our oceans. These determine weather patterns and climate, regulate temperature, establish the chemistry of the Earth and form the core of our global water cycle. Oceans additionally generate over 70% of the atmosphere's oxygen and absorb much of the global carbon dioxide, therefore creating a world suitable for human existence. Oceans are home to a multitude of weird and wonderful life forms, many yet to be discovered. From the depths of the ocean floor to shallow beaches, from the warm tropical seas to the freezing Antarctic waters, Earth's oceans provide a varied complex network of habitats which support billions of life forms. Oceanic ecosystems are delicate. Each and every marine species is intrinsically linked to others in an intricate food web. Affecting the abundance and/or distribution of one species will have numerous consequences on the complex balance of life which forms our marine world.
