| newsla Hope after wildfire: Tiny sequoias could grow into giants What is the main idea of the text? What details from the story help you identify this main idea? the sequoias are beautiful diverse trees they live can live for hundreds of year, but the sad thing is we are killing them faster than they can grow to survive. the measures they took this last year to prevent burning were only temporary, the fact of the matter is climate change is making the fires that happen every year worse, using the prescribed burn method works to a point but it would take so much man power every year to do that is is not feasible and frankly doesn't seem like a permanent solution. the main idea is we want to save and preserve these beautiful trees for the future generations and we want to do everything we can to protect them, by taking seedling samples we can replant them for the future, to protect the species we have wiped out. |

| "The water wheel is an ancient device that uses flowing or falling water to create power by means of paddles mounted around a wheel. The force of the water moves the paddles, and the consequent rotation of the wheel is transmitted to machinery via the shaft of the wheel." "The first reference to a water wheel dates back to around 4000 BCE. Vitruvius, an engineer who died in 14 CE, has been credited with creating and using a vertical water wheel during Roman times. The wheels were used for crop irrigation and grinding grains, as well as to supply drinking water to villages. In later years, they drove sawmills, pumps, forge bellows, tilt-hammers, and trip hammers, and even powered textile mills. The water wheel was likely the first method of mechanical energy developed to replace the work of humans and animals." |

| "To package DNA inside the nucleus, cells wrap their DNA strands around scaffolding proteins to form a coiled condensed structure called chromatin. Chromatin is further folded into higher orders of structure that form the characteristic shape of chromosomes." "Cells exert control over the compactness of the chromatin structure as a means to regulate gene expression. Genes in tightly condensed regions are not as accessible for gene expression. The figure illustrates the winding of DNA to form a 30 nm fiber of chromatin (the scaffolding proteins are not shown)." |
