The commodification of water throughout history has had substantial impacts the way we live our lives and the health of our nation. Initially effluents from towns, various types of mills, and tanneries were channeled to the nearest waterway to be carried downstream and away from the pollution source. This theory of "dilution is the solution to pollution" worked for a little while but as population grew and the demand for freshwater for humans consumption increased as well Americans learn quickly

For my topic I chose to explore biological diversity and ways that it can be destroyed, restored, and maintained. In class, we were taught that diversity is the number of distinct species of animals, insects, plants, etc. that are living in a particular area. We found out that diversity is greater in the tropics and less towards the poles. This is called the Latitude Diversity Gradient and could be due to one or more of three theories. They are the cradle hypothesis that says the area where species

science experiment, I am trying to see which liquid works the best for watering plants with Water, Milk, Pepsi, Kool Aid, Vinegar, and Propel(Sports Drink). HYPOTHESIS: If the plants with water, milk, pepsi, vinegar, propel, and kool aid are watered every other day and given the equal amount of sunlight, the growing plant with water will grow the tallest, because anybody with at least a fourth grade education know that plants are mostly watered with water. Water should be the best liquid solution. VARIABLES:

combustion. Carbon dioxide is absore dby producers to make carbohydrates in phtosysnthesis. These producers then put off oxygen. Then animals feed on the plants. Thus passing the carbon compounds along the food chain. Most of the carbon these animal consume however is exhaled as carbon dioxide. This is through the process of respiration. When the plants and animals die, they ar eaten by decomposers in the ground. The carbon that was in their bodies is then returned to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

productive wildlife and learn all about the Taiga Biome. Faunal The American Black Bear can be spotted in the Taiga fairly easy. It’s huge demurer is easily spotted as it weighs up to 230-500 lbs. They will eat anything, but most of the diet comes from plants. Be careful not to get too close as these creatures can be very protective and aggressive. The Gray Wolf is the biggest canine in the Taiga. To adapt the Gray Wolf has very

Recently, there have been many articles relating to animals and their survival skills. Also, many researchers have been focusing on the daily life of a species and how well they can cooperate with both their neighbors and the wildlife surrounding them. Many have found that animals are much smarter than they are thought to be. They have a lot of potential which most species use to the fullest of their ability. For example, Allegra Staples wrote an article explaining how some spiders have recently

In conclusion to my investigation light is definitely needed and is important in the process of photosynthesis. Light is not only important in the light- dependant stage but the light-independent stage wouldn’t occur without light because light is changed from light energy to chemical potential energy and is carried out through the ATP and NADPH which takes the energy to the Calvin stage where that energy is used to make other organic compounds that we may be able to use like glucose. I also learned

In this paper I will explain in detail the premises of Matheny’s view and his argument of refraining from eating the product from factory farms, and then offer an objection to it. Matheny states in “Utilitarianism and Animals” that we should refrain from eating the products from factory farms. The first premise of Matheny’s argument is the principle of equal consideration of interests. To be fair, just, and benevolent, any ethical rule we adopt should respect this principle. The second premise

maximize the profit potential by providing them with access to information about current products, soil reports, and predicted yield for the upcoming planting season. In the placement stage they provide consumers with different advice for what seed to plant in different soil types, how to rotate crops effectively, and helping them understand the different weeds or insects that could affect yield. The product stage is the when the consumer makes the decision to purchase seed from the Monsanto dealer. During

and the humidity went from 53% to 54.5%. The other factors such as light, remained constant. Added a bit of H2O in order to keep the microcosm moist for the worms to thrive and plants to grow. RESULTS: Week 1: After simply one week, there was tremendous amount of growth in the microcosm. It was already full of small plant life. There were plenty of small sprouts from all the big seeds and small seedlings. For the garden bean, it grew to become approximately 150mm tall. The little peas
