humans and the environment‚ including healthier soil‚ cleaner air‚ and money well spent on better resources. Composting‚ also known as nature’s natural way of recycling‚ is breaking down different food waste products biologically into a useful substance that can be used in gardens to make soil more rich and healthy (Composting Benefits). There are numerous benefits of composting food waste instead of carting it away to a landfill. First‚ composting has many benefits for the environment. When food is

for thousands of years‚ and only recently has it started to take its toll on the environment. Chemists have been experimenting with different types of fuels and adding to gasoline to make it more efficient. This is when ethanol made its debut into the fuel industry‚ as an additive to gasoline. Ethanol is put into gas as a combatant against water‚ which can find its way into fuel tanks of vehicles. It reduces the effect that this water has on the health of the vehicle‚ and as a result increases gas

The Effect of Gasoline Fumes on plants Introduction: This science fair project was conducted to study the effect of gasoline fumes on plants. The testing was done by placing plants beside a gasoline-filled container for different periods of time and temperatures. Hypothesis: Gasoline fumes cause plants to die - the longer the exposure to the fumes‚ the quicker the plants will die. Our second hypothesis is that exposure to fumes‚ at higher environmental temperatures‚ will result in quicker

Ways that plants cope with saline environments Introduction There are a lot of plants in this world managed to grow in different kind of environments by adapting to those environments in certain ways. In this essay‚ plants grow in environment with different salinity are concerned. Plants can be divided into two different groups when it comes to salinity. The first type of plants is the plants that grow and reproduce in saline environment which are called halophytes (Jefferies. 1981). Whereas

Man’s Effect on the Environment 1) SOURCES OF POLLUTION Freshwater Environments : Man pollutes freshwater all over the world in many ways there is much waste and pollution that ends up in rivers. One of the main hazards is called eutrophication‚ this process becomes enriched with artificial nutrients from fertilisers which run off into the rivers and upset the natural nutrient cycle of the river‚ lake or pond. The water turns green because of the algae which when they die multifly

investigate the effect of one environmental factor on the phenotype of pea plants Background Information: Pea seeds are available with identical genetic information for height - tall or dwarf peas. These seeds can be used to demonstrate the effect of the environment on the final height of the pea plants. Tall or dwarf peas can be grown in identical conditions where all variables are kept constant apart from one environmental factor. Any differences in the height of the pea plants will be due to

Effects of Plant Nutrient Deficiency Abstract This experiment aimed to determine the effects of nutrient deficiency on plants. This was done by examining tomato plants grown in a medium that contained all the nutrients needed to survive and comparing those results to plants that were grown in nutrient deficient mediums. The biomass and standard chlorophyll content were the focus of the experiment. The biomass was measured by taking the mass of the plant. The standard chlorophyll content was

which saved thousands of people during World War II by killing typhus-carrying lice and malaria-carrying mosquitoes (DDT 1). However‚ don’t be fooled be the hero story of Paul Muller‚ pesticides can be beneficial; however they also have negative effects. One of the disadvantages of pesticides is that they travel all throughout the food chain. Despite the fact that insects will retain a diminutive amount of the chemicals from pesticides‚ animals such as birds will consume multiple insects containing

The Effect of Watering on the Plant Growth 1. Problem/Question: Sarah observes the small garden in their house. She ask her mother why are the plants needed water but it has fertilized already. Their plants aren’t grow . So she decided to experiment on what is the effect of watering on plant growth. 2. Observation/Research: She water them every day‚ they have good soil‚ and they’re in the shade. 3. Formulate a Hypothesis: Sarah think plants will grow better if they’re in the sun
