Air and Water Pollution Penny Thompson ENV 100 12.4.2011 Air and Water Pollution Pollution is everywhere we look. In everyday activity‚ humans produce unhealthy pollutants without even a thought. This has been going on for centuries; even as early as the 11th century‚ people turned to burning coal instead of wood and in the 13th century‚ England’s King Edward l tried to impose stiff penalties for polluting the air. They could see that burning sea coal was creating hazards (History Channel

Effect of all-natural bath and body wash on millet seed growth. This experiment was conducted to determine what effect a household chemical would have on the growth of a plant. Everyday multitudes of chemicals are washed down the drains inside of our homes; many of these same chemicals are then being introduced into the environment through our water sources‚ such as rivers. This experiment will test the effect of all-natural bath and shower gel would have on the growth cycle of millet seeds. The

and has caused various devastations to the ecosystem. Pollution is the presence of contaminants into the environment which causes instability‚ harm or discomfort to the Environment. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy (noise‚ heat‚ and light). The causes of pollution can be classified into two types - man-made pollution and natural pollution. Natural pollution does not have a big impact on the quality of life since it has a balanced regenerated ability. On the other hand‚

Purpose: How will salt and plain water affect plant cells? Hypothesis Clear water: If you place carrots and celery in plain water they will become flaccid and then eventually start to loose its colour and pieces of the celery or carrots will fall off. I know this because the vegetables will continue absorbing water putting the vegetable in a hypotonic solution. Pieces of the vegetable could break off because the cells are not getting what they need. The cells need to create glucose and oxygen

Salt and the effect it has on water. Do you like salt? Do you put it on your food to make it taste better? Salt doesn’t just make food taste better; it can change the freezing and boiling point of water. I bet you didn’t know that! There’s a reason for that‚ but I’ll explain that a little later. First‚ let’s find out if salt can actually change the freezing and boiling point of water. To do so‚ we need to do an experiment. Now‚ if you’re going to do an experiment‚ you’re going to need a hypothesis

Fundamental Science Salt water egg experiment Result Some objects float on top of the ocean‚ and other objects sink to the bottom. Why? In this salt water egg experiment we can find a solution for this question. It was noted that to make the egg float salt is needed to dissolve into fresh water. When the egg was lowered into the fresh water container it started to sink. But when salt was added to the container the egg started to float. Adding salt to the water squishes more molecules

Water is imperative for the growth and preservation of life‚ especially plants. Playing a role from the vary beginning‚ water is necessary in the germination of dry seeds and growth of plants throughout their life cycle. However‚ there are drawbacks to an overabundance of water or a lack of water. Therefore‚ how much water is required to maximize the potential of a given crop? In our experiment‚ we examine the effects of water on corn. Corn is a vital crop to North America‚ and there is a wide draw

Aim: Perform an experiment to determine the latent heat of fusion for milk. Materials: Calorimeter Celsius Thermometer Platform balance Kettle Milk ice cubes Stopwatch Hot Water Procedure: The copper cup was weighed and its mass was then recorded. The kettle was then used to boil water and this water was poured into the copper cup. The mass of the cup plus the hot water was calculated and recorded. The copper cup was then placed in the insulated container. The water’s temperature was
