Option A: Observation: During the winter‚ you spread salt daily on your driveway to melt the snow. In the springtime‚ when the lawn begins to grow‚ you notice that there is no grass growing for about 3 inches from the driveway. Furthermore‚ the grass seems to be growing more slowly up to about 1 foot from the driveway. Question: Might grass growth be inhibited by salt? My hypothesis is that the grass growth is being inhibited by salt. An average winter season last approximately five or

Water Shortage or Water Misuse The United States of America is known for her extreme overuse of everything. Americans see something they want and they simply take it. It was true when the young country pushed westward. The Native Americans were already there‚ but that mattered not; it was wanted‚ so it was taken. It is still true today. Americans as a people see what they want and they take it with very little regard to who had it first or where more might come from. Water is one of those

Part A: Title: Diffusion Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of particles from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated. For this experiment‚ a 14 cm glass was filled with cold tap water. A drop of red food coloring was dropped in the cup. A stopwatch was used to measure the time it took for the food coloring to get to the bottom of the cup. The average diffusion rate was .78 cm a second. If a different color was used‚ I do not think it would have made a difference

The cell walls of the plant contain polysaccharide cellulose. An important organelle found in plant cells but not animals‚ is the chloroplast‚ where photosynthesis takes place. Plant cells also have a large central vacuole a compartment that store water and chemicals. 2. I hypothesize as the temperature of the beet is lowered the cell membrane of the beet will incur more damage Thus causing the betacyanin to be more prevalently noticeable in the colder beet. On a scale of 1 – 10 ( 10 being most

The importance of water Water is one of the weirdest compounds known to humans. The difference between the boiling point and freezing point of water is one of the largest ranges of any compound. It is this span of temperature that mirrors the range of where life can exist‚ from bacteria to humans. Water also has a very high specific heat‚ which means that it can absorb or lose much heat before its temperature changes. This is important in maintaining body heat in mammals. It also takes a lot of

the current water shortage on Oahu. For the purpose of this paper‚ our group has chosen to discuss what we believe to be the top three most feasible technological solutions. In order of current usability they are; 1. Water recycling 2. Desalination 3. OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) Water Recycling Water recycling here on Oahu is an important part of ensuring a sustainable water supply for future generations. Through the natural water cycle‚ the earth has recycled and reused water for millions

| Desalinization of Water | | | Sara Reed‚ Myp2 | | Chemistry | | * Our world consists of 70% of water‚ from which‚ only 2.5% is fresh water‚ and 1% is drinkable water. Because of this low drinkable water rate‚ desalinization is a very important process which will help us provide a higher percentage rate. * Desalination is a process in which salt water is turned into fresh water‚ by extracting its water and minerals. Desalination is used on many ships and submarines
