Foil Cup Instructions

This purpose of this experiment is to calculate the thickness of a sheet of aluminum foil. This experiment is necessary because the human eye cannot accurately measure the small thickness of aluminum foil with only a ruler. However, to understand the procedure one needs to understand conversion, density, and volume. Conversion is when one converts one unit to another unit using a conversion factor(e.g. 2.54cm/in). Density is how much mass there is in a certain volume(density=mass/volume) and it stays constant in a substances and mixtures that have the same composition. Volume is the amount of space that an object occupies. The experiment will consist of weighing of aluminum foil, measuring the length and width, then converting these values

Every forest has a story to tell. By looking closely at its habitants, that story can be interpreted. Much of this narrative is written in the trees: their age, their tolerance to shade, and the rate at which they grow are all characteristics that can imply a lot about their environment. Exploring these relationships and how they connect with each other can indicate the health and history of the land. Heiberg Forest, located in northern New York, was once used for agricultural purposes in the 1800-1900’s. (Nowak, Lecture Notes) Much of the land once used for farming was left to regrow back into a young forest. The life history of different tree species can be determined by examining the most common species in Heiberg.

Hiking down is harder than hiking up due to the sandy steps. Trekking poles can also come in handy. We suggest bringing 3 liters of water during the summer months. If you need additional water, filtering stream water is an option. There is no potable water on the trail.

Growing up, we all went through the water cycle lesson and we will never forget it. The reason being, we encounter the water cycle throughout our entire life and it will always effect our systems and more importantly our water system. As illustrated in the picture, our water cycle includes the processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, which then goes to many places. During evaporation, the sun is used as a main power to make this happen. The sun’s rays beat down onto the ground creating all of the moisture and water to fizzle into a gas state into the atmosphere and get stored away into the clouds. When it is stored into the clouds it is condensing. Condensation means that the gas is again forming itself back into its liquid state to get ready to return to Earth. The condensation then forms into precipitation. Precipitation comes in many different forms. You can see it as rain, snow, sleet, or hail making its way back to us. What happens to it then depends on the area. The water might end up as runoff, or become

          TODAY: a variety of metal or plastic canteens or water bottles. There also is a rubber or plastic sack that, filled with water, can be strapped on the outside of a backpack. A tube is then extended around and fastened on the front straps of the pack so that it can be periodically sucked on by the hiker whenever he feels thirsty as he is hiking.

the earth and projecting a mixture of chemicals and water into the ground to release the gas

The purpose of this experiment was to ascertain the total amount of atoms thick a single sheet of aluminum foil contained, after a final determination of the thickness of the piece of foil itself, calculated in centimeters with the development of a sufficient, reliable method and use of prior knowledge. This experiment is conducted by first taking a square slip of aluminum foil at approximately 7.62 centimeters on each side, with the specific length and height recorded to refrain from inaccuracies. The scientist must then examine the mass of the aluminum foil using a scale, using density as the given numerical value, 2.7 grams, as well its equation to calculate the volume of the foil, determined by density equals mass divided by volume. The determined value can then be used to obtain the thickness of the foil, executed through the formula, length times width times height, the width being the measurement that is to be obtained. Certain about the thickness of the aluminum foil, the

Native Americans and others took advantage of natural formations that could easily be converted into a cistern. It is much easier to collect water from a natural spring, for example, if the water is allowed to collect in a cistern. Once collected it can be dipped out or pumped to another location.

Without fresh water to drink, you experience an unimaginable thirst. The survivors in the water

Central idea: Access and availability to fresh water are essential to the survival of the human race. Fresh

Water is a must-have in order to survive. You need to have CLEAN drinking water in order to survive. Do not drink untreated water because there are pathogens and other things in the water that could either kill you or make you very sick. In order to prevent this you could use a grapefruit seed to purify the water. You must also boil the water for 2-3 minutes to kill any pathogens or other living things. Some water sources in the wilderness include: springs, head water streams, and morning dew. If you can’t find water, follow grazing animals, flies, or mosquitoes because they are probably headed towards a water

The by-product liquids recovered could be used as fuel, or alternatively stabilized and Marketed as condensate.

Because survival is essential to these individuals they prepare bug out bags. These bug out bags contain: flashlights, emergency food, sleeping bag, canteens, knife, water, etc. Water is a very important essential to have in the survival kits. Including a portable

Collect up five ice cream containers, this is to make the area in which the experiment is going to be done.

To begin bottled water came in very helpful for this month, there was a hurricane that hit named Matthew and thousands of people were without power for about a week. All of the food people had, had to be thrown away if they didn’t have a generator. The water from the fridge was not able to work, and running faucet water was out. The supplies for bottled water was very source thousands of people stocked up and was able to drink the bottled water for days. When people heard there was a hurricane coming they immediately ran to the store to get water. Water is very important, especially at those times. Walmart had 800 trucks come in just with water and was sold out immediately. www.thestreet.com/hurricaneirma .
