Research Paper Topics on Nature

Animals, plants and the world around us make for fascinating research paper topics. Students have plenty to write about the astounding variety of life that surrounds us on planet Earth. If you are having trouble thinking about a topic for your nature-themed research paper, you need not look far to find something interesting to write about.

Animal Topics

Animals can be one of the most enjoyable research paper topics that you can choose. Consider writing about endangered animal species or species that became extinct long ago. You may even include dinosaurs in this category, if you have an interest in prehistoric creatures. Some animals are particularly bizarre and interesting, such as the angler fish, Komodo dragon and Malaysian exploding ant. You can write about the habitat these animals live in, what they eat and how they raise their young. If writing about an endangered animal, include ideas on what is being done to threaten the creature and how readers can help protect it. Select a strange animal or insect to write about, and you won't become bored while researching the topic.

Interesting Plants

You may not think that plants are as interesting as animals, but some plants have such strange features that you can't help but take a second look. Most people are familiar with weird plants, such as the Venus Fly Trap, which swallows insects whole. Choose an unfamiliar plant to write about, such as the Shy Plant, with leaves that curl up and fold inward when the plant is disturbed. Another bizarre plant is the Corpse Flower, which actually smells like rotting flesh. This odor is meant to attract scavenging animals looking for a meal, who then help to pollinate the flower. When writing about plants, you may write about where in the world they exist and how they grow, along with any other traits that make the plant special. You can focus on local plants, rain forest plants or strange plants around the world.

Nature Lodging

NATURE LODGING IN ARIZONA Hart Prairie Preserve Hart Prairie Preserve’s cabins, nestled in the aspens near Flagstaff, provide a refreshing respite after a hike in Arizona’s highest mountains. The Homestead cabin, built in 1877, provides a private bathroom, kitchen and one bedroom. Muleshoe Ranch Muleshoe Ranch Cooperative Management Area is a peaceful and remote escape nestled in southeast Arizona’s Galiuro Mountains on 49,000 acres of rugged semi-desert grasslands and lush riparian canyons. This historic ranch has a history that reads like a Western novel and contains a treasure some consider more precious than gold:natural hot springs bubbling from a hill The five charming housekeeping units are original, renovated buildings from the late 1800s.

traveling with India

India is often perceived as a country where women live in the shadow of male authority to make virtually  all important decisions in their lives. Then..there are the Khasis. They are a tribal people with an ancient matrilineal culture that sweeps aside stereotypical images of subservient Indian womanhood.   Who are the Khasis? Are they a tribe of Xena-like women and emasculated men? I am in Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya, to find out with the help of James Perry, director of local tour company, Cultural Pursuits. James grew up in a missionary family based in Shillong, "returned" to Canada for his later education, and has now settled down in Meghalaya with his Christian Khasi wife, Valerie. He offered to share his lifelong passion for these tribal people and their stunning environment, and further my inquiries within his wide circle of acquaintances.

Nature traveling

 The best things in life won't come easy. The hardest part is to see it even when it is there. The quality of the nature is what we see every day in our life. The simpe form of the sun rise as well as the sun set is somthing that we all have seen but I guess most of us have miss even?. The fact is that we are surrounded by the nature. The best thing is that we are so close and yet do not appreciate it the way we should be.

 The most recent visit to the beac, the t long cherished vacation in the mountains, not to forget the long walk in the village side. The nature traveling is one of the best past time one may have if one get interested.

Nature

Nature, in the broadest sense, is equivalent to the natural world, physical world, or material world. "Nature" refers to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. It ranges in scale from the subatomic to the cosmic.

The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura, or "essential qualities, innate disposition", and in ancient times, literally meant "birth".^[1] Natura was a Latin translation of the Greek word physis (φύσις), which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that plants, animals, and other features of the world develop of their own accord.^[2][3] The concept of nature as a whole, the physicaluniverse, is one of several expansions of the original notion; it began with certain core applications of the word φύσις by pre-Socratic philosophers, and has steadily gained currency ever since. This usage was confirmed during the advent of modernscientific method in the last several centuries.^[4][5]

Within the various uses of the word today, "nature" may refer to the general realm of various types of living plants and animals, and in some cases to the processes associated with inanimate objects–the way that particular types of things exist and change of their own accord, such as the weather and geology of the Earth, and thematter and energy of which all these things are composed. It is often taken to mean the "natural environment" or wilderness–wild animals, rocks, forest, beaches, and in general those things that have not been substantially altered by human intervention, or which persist despite human intervention. For, example, manufactured objects and human interaction generally are not considered part of nature, unless qualified as, for example, "human nature" or "the whole of nature". This more traditional concept of natural things which can still be found today implies a distinction between the natural and the artificial, with the artificial being understood as that which has been brought into being by a human consciousnessor a human mind. Depending on the particular context, the term "natural" might also be distinguished from the unnatural, the supernatural, and the artifactual.

LIGHT IS A COSMIC TIME MACHINE

 The universe tells us its story mainly through light and other wavelengths ofelectromagnetic radiation. We learn about the planets, stars, and galaxies by their light—visible light, and also shorter-wavelength ultraviolet and longer-wavelength infrared light, invisible to the eye but detectable by certain telescopes on Earth and in space—and by the still longer waves of radio energy that they send us. These waves do not arrive instantaneously. Although they travel at the fastest possible speed (the speed of light,) they take a while to get here. The universe is big, so the news is delayed by the vast gulfs of space it has to cross to reach us. Light covers 186,000 miles EVERY SECOND (kids, please don't try traveling this fast 
without adult supervision!!!) In metric units, that's about 300,000 kilometers per second.

How long does light take to reach us from familiar objects? Let's take a quick tour of the solar system, asking at each place how long its light takes to reach us here on Earth.

The Moon and the Sun

The closest object to us is the Moon. Its average distance is about 240,000 miles, so light from the Moon takes (240,000 miles divided by 186.000) 1 and 1/3 seconds to get from the Moon to Earth. When astronauts orbited the Moon and later walked on its surface in the 1960's, television viewers noticed that they were slow to answer questions transmitted from Earth. That was because it took 1.3 seconds for the question to travel to the Moon, and another 1.3 seconds for the answer to get back to Earth. Those 2.6 seconds were exactly the round-trip travel time for radio waves between the Earth and the Moon.

The Sun is 93 million miles away, so sunlight takes 8 and 1/3 minutes to get to us. Not much changes about the Sun in so short a time, but it still means that when you look at the Sun, you see it as it was 8 minutes ago. PhotoPhoto of the Sun in hydrogen-alpha light.

WWF Pakistan’s Travelling Nature Carnival 2011

This year, the Traveling Nature carnival will be held in Karachi on 30th January 2011 has been sponsored by the Indus Motor Company. The overall objective of this event will be to engage students and teachers in a structured annual awareness raising programme. Furthermore it will build the capacity and train the selected students to develop in-school solution oriented demonstration models on environmental conservation themes.
