Biomes/ecosystems Question? Grade 10?


For a science poster I have to arrange some terms from “biggest” to “smallest” based on how where the terms fit in a biosphere. My teacher assigned this project before we have actually started the unit, so we haven’t learned this yet and I don’t know if I have them in the right order. These are the words in the order I put them in:
Biosphere
Biome
Ecosystem
Community
Population
Habitat
Niche
Organism
Is this how you would have ordered them? I know for sure that the first and last terms are right, but I’m not sure about the rest.

I Am Into Computers, But Do Not Think I Will Be Able To Pass Computer Science Classes.?


Hi, all my life i have been into computer gaming, and fairly decent with computers. I recently have been looking into my college major, and realized that my interest in computers may have a very hard major affiliated with it. I do not want to just settle with a business major because that doesn’t excite me, computer animations and maybe testing or creating games really is what i want to do. My question is, if i have little to no actual computer science skill, will i be able to keep up with the classes and work? Also what should i do to maybe prepare for it ( being able to not jump into it extremely confused ).
Thanks to all who give me advise!

What Is The Type Of Engineer That Is So Rare That There Are Only 22 In The Country?


I am trying to find my niche in science and I’m looking for a career path to follow. I was talking about chemical engineering with a peer, and she told me that there was a branch of chemical engineering that only a few people (she said she thought it was 22) worked in. I’d just like to know what type of engineering that was to look into it.

Why Do People Think Girls Don’t Like Sci Fi?


I think it is time not only to tweak the stereotype about science fiction being a male province, but for the genre itself to have a more female slant. I myself started reading science fiction at the age of ten, and I loved HW Well, Jules Verne and Asimov. As a children’s writer I wanted to write a fantasy adventure sci fi book with a feminist slant and a female protagonist. I have recently self published an e book (Goddess in Pyjamas) about a schoolgirl being abducted to another planet to save their world. It was rejected by publishers because it did not fit into an accepted niche. I felt there was a market out there for sci fi adventure for girls so I wanted to re-invent the genre and create what I like to call ‘pink sci-fi’. It has the sensuality of a girly book and features mythical creatures as well as space travel. More Hitchhikers Guide meet Wizard of Oz, than Star Wars. I was puzzled to find that they don’t even have a section for sci fi for children at all in the flagship branch of Waterstones in Piccadilly. Isn’t it time that publishers and booksellers began to realise that children need as wide a range of reading as adults? If self published ebooks are the only way to get this kind of risk-taking, experimental stuff out there, they deserve to lose out.
