I Should Not Be Responsible For Clean Up After Other Bugs On The Planet Pensacola

realize that the plant was having an accident with the coolant level. The tubes holding the nuclear fuel began to melt since they became over heated which also caused fuel pellets to melt. Even though this was the most dangerous kind of nuclear accident, the radiation did not reach outside of the containment building nor did it release out into the environment. There were no immediate injuries or deaths reported from the raditation to the faculty workers.

Not many people fully know what happened at Chernobyl, or understand the effect it has had on today’s nuclear science. Chernobyl has been named as the largest man-made disaster ever recorded. Chernobyl is the most influential and important event during the 1980’s because it has completely changed how the world views anything nuclear by changing experimentation and usage of nuclear materials and power as a whole. It was extremely influential because it caused thousands of people to move out of their homes, while damaging nearby cities and countries and covering the surrounding area in radioactive smog, and is still a threat to surrounding cities and countries today. It also has caused the nearby area to be thriving with wildlife.

In this experiment, we tested three different environments, soil, sand, and a leafy mixture to see which one a pill bug would prefer the most. Originally, we believed that the pill bug would find the leafy substance to be most favorable. Five pill bugs and then a single pill bug was placed in the center so that it could select one of the substrates. The data collected at the end of the experiment opposed our original hypothesis as we discovered that the most favored environment was the soil. This finding could correlate with the dark color of the soil closely matching the color of the pill bug or the moisture in the soil.

The goal of this experiment was to determine the type of environment that pill bugs prefer to live in. The result of the experiment show that the pill bugs react differently when they are placed in the different temperature. Based on the result, in the trial 1, all four pill bugs moved well in the cold and hot environment. The number of full round was high in cold environment compared to the hot environment. The number turns were high in the hot environment than cold environment. In the trial 2, the result shows that all pill bugs moved in the cold and hot environment, but the number of full round and the number of turns made by pill bugs were high in the environment with temperature. Trial 3 result shows that the pill bugs moved

Lots of kids think bugs are disgusting, foul and deserve no respect, when in reality bugs are valuable creatures and help us grow our food. Kids in life lab get to see and understand many different kinds of bugs, ones that do damage to crops and plants and bugs that are actually good for the crops, such as ladybugs and honeybees. Many kids fear bees and other insects because they have the potential to cause minor injuries like bee stings. The reality is that as long you act appropriately and do not harm the bees they will rarely react negatively. This and many more interesting facts and useful information is taught at life lab.

To examine the data, we created a line graph with three lines for the three areas the pill bugs were in every minute. The graph helped to visually solidify our claim that pill bugs preferred dirt since we could see the trends across time. We could see how the pill bugs reacted to the environmental stimuli using the chart and

Goodyear’s statement is important because it pushes the issue on why we need to look more into the bug eating community. There are many reasons why consuming bugs has not taken off in the United States. The most compelling argument not to consume insects is because “Processing insects is labor-intensive, and they are not exactly filling. One would have to eat about a thousand grasshoppers to equal the amount of protein in a twelve-ounce steak.” Sure the idea is great, but it's not exactly realistically achievable.

Of concern is the overuse of insecticidal bed bug products, which can pose a threat to humans, especially children. With increased exposure comes, increase risk of toxicity to bed bug insecticides (Doggett, et al., 2012). Professional eradication is preferred, however, bed bugs are becoming resistant to pesticides and the eradication can be unaffordable to some households, especially when multiple treatments are needed. As a result people are increasingly using homemade recipes found on the Internet and unregulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which have unknown toxicity risk and adverse reactions (Doggett, et al., 2012). The University of Texas A &M acknowledges that professional and consumer products such as aerosol “bug bombs” and “fumigators” are only moderately effective and that there are effective do-it-yourself bed bug control measures that need to be used in conjunction with hiring a professional (Doggett, et al.,

Carson clarifies that “the sprays, dust, and aerosols are now applied almost universally to farms, gardens, forests, and homes-nonselective chemicals that have the power to kill every insect, the “good” and the “bad”.” In contemporary world today many people use these mankind chemicals without understanding the effects of nature. For example, the reproduction of bees are dropping traumatically because of the pesticides effects on the insects. According to CNN “How Pesticides are killing the bees “Recent data published in science, Nature and other un journals show that bees are dying from some pesticides that are found in our food supply.” The damaged the chemicals are doing to the bees have worries many scientists. The New York Times wrote, pesticide linked to honeybee deaths, “a group of pesticide believed to contribute to mass deaths of honeybees.” Another example of the harmful chemicals affecting the good insects are by destroying favorable insects such as lady bugs and butterflies, which are another great alternative way to pollinate flower. These beneficial insects are very important for human wellbeing; therefore, we should minimize the use of

The author states that crickets tasted a bit like the farm (Crane,9). Crane is a person who tasted the bugs. She said they tasted a like the farm smell nutty and grainy. In the article “Love at first Crunch” Crane explains if you don't read the label on a pack of cookies or something you wouldn't even know your eating bugs (Crane,8). In addition, the bugs are masked in with all the ingredients of the cookies. This is important because without it you will still be eating bugs. When you buy something from the store, check the label so you know what you're eating. Given these points bugs wouldn't even make a change in our

It is always believed that pill bugs are insects when the truth of the matter is that they are indeed crustaceans (Raham 1986). The insects are found in soils and dirt where temperature around 20 degrees Celsius (Refinetti 1984). Due to their underground habitat, pill bugs consume a diet of rotting leaves and nutrients from the soil to sustain life (Smigel and Gibbs 2007). Through research it is also said that the pill bugs can also feast on wood particles if their environment were to ever change (Bashir et al. 2013). When pill bugs are introduced to a new environment they are not accustomed to, they start to kick in their defensive skills (Moriyama 2004).

Early in the morning of April 27, 1986, the world experienced its largest nuclear disaster ever (Gould 40). While violating safety protocol during a test, Reactor 4 at the Chernobyl power plant was placed in a severely unstable state, and in a matter of seconds the reactor output shot up to 120 times the rated output (Flavin 8). The resulting steam explosion tossed aside the reactor’s 1,000 ton concrete covering and released radioactive particles up to one and a half miles into the sky (Gould 38). The explosion and resulting fires caused 31 immediate deaths and over a thousand injuries, including radiation poisoning (Flavin 5). After the

On March 11, 2011 two catastrophic disaster struck Japan; a natural disaster in the form of a tsunami that followed an earthquake resulting in a man-made disaster, a nuclear power plant meltdown. The Fukishima nuclear power plant meltdown resulted from multiple system failures. When the tsunami waves struck it was double the size of the height of the plants seawall, which flooded the plant (Edge, 2011). Water ended up in the basement of the power plant rendering the backup diesel generators inoperable and unable to cool the reactors (Edge, 2011). The entire Fukishma plant lost power, causing malfunctioning of the plant and a nuclear meltdown. Initially, the Japanese government ordered an evacuation of everyone within two miles of Fukishima, but after an explosion shook the plant, the government widened the areas to 12 miles forcing more than 100,00 people to flee (Edge, 2011). Interestingly, the United State government advised American in Japan to stay at least 50 miles away from the Fukishima plant (Davis, 2011).

The explosion that occurred on February where gallon drums, if the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant nuclear waste were buried deep in the salt shaft, led to the closure of the facility for months. In addition, the incidence raised questions on the Department of Energy’s ability to keep tabs on the content of nuclear container that were buried at the site. Experts asserted that the risk of an additional eruption is real and had several effects on 21 workers who were exposed to low-level doses of radiation (Lopez 85). Currently, investigators for the energy department have not determined the reason behind the explosion and why radioactive waste products buried more than feet below the ground has a chemical reaction that led to radioactivity. In addition, there are no experts to assert that the accident occur with other drums that were containing the same kind of waste products from nuclear plants. Waste Isolation Pilot Plant is located in an ancient salt bed dug out as a conventional salt mine. Apparently, it was designed that once it is filled up and plugged, the salt could gradually breakdown around the waste and seal it for the period of 10,000 years (Rechard and Voegele 61). Thus, the dump is designed to ensure that waste and radioactivity do not escape. During the explosion, the radioactivity was released and traveled up the vent shaft and gave 21 workers who were on the surface a small dose of radiation that was detected in

The earthquake made the nuclear leak, and the nuclear leak not only affected the human activities, but also affected the environment as well. The nuclear radiation affects the soil and the sea around the station. Many fish died and the sea was polluted.
