Blackwater Security has had many Federal contracts throughout the last couple decades. The Federal contracts that are most astonishing are the ones from 2001 to 2005. There was a tremendous increase in the contracts‚ going from $774‚906 in 2001 all the way up to $221.4 million in 2005. (Greenwald) These numbers are incredibly high‚ and where is all this money being used? We have been asking these questions for years now‚ and our government doesn’t seem to give us a set answer.

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

The Biological Importance of Water Water is perhaps the most important molecule for the survival and life of organisms. On the surface of the planet there is obviously much more area of water than land‚ which shows its significance. The fact that water makes up 60-95% of all living organisms shows the incredible biological importance of water. Water has many uses and roles‚ one of them it being used as a support unit in plants. The uptake of water by plant cells creates a pressure against the rigid

Title: Boiling Red Water Materials: Water A clear glass or plastic cup Food Colouring (Optional) 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil 1 tsp Salt Procedures: Fill a glass 3/4 full with water Add 5 drops of food colouring Add the oil Add salt How it works: The salt brings the oil down with it as it sinks to the bottom of the bottle. When it reaches the water‚ the salt dissolves and the oil is then free to float back to the top. NOTE: this is not originally

The Biological Importance of Water. Water is a material that is essential for all life on earth. The fact that water makes up between 60 and 95 percent of all living organisms clearly shows the biological importance of this compound. The way that water is structured and its properties lead to it being one of the most individual and vital compounds on earth. Water molecules are dipolar‚ meaning they have a positively charged and a negatively charged region. A water molecule consists of two hydrogen

Abstract: Water potential is the measure of free energy of water in a solution. The purpose of this lab was to find the water potential of a potato cell. The problem of this lab was‚ if there was a high molarity of solute‚ would it have a positive or negative water potential? The hypothesis of the experiment was‚ if there is a high molarity of solute then the water potential would be lower or negative. After obtaining potatoes‚ we cut them into pieces‚ weighed them‚ and then placed them in a solution

castellum is a building that distributed water throughout Pompeii and Herculaneum. The task of the castellum was to spread water all over Rome for public and private use. In Source 1‚ it shows three lead pipes which transferred water all over the city of Pompeii. The bricks encompassing the water narrow the water allowing it to fit through the pipes. 2) Why does the engineer Vitruvius recommend a three part water distribution in a town? A three part water distribution system was recommended by

The Importance of Drinking Water It sounds so simple. H20 - two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. This substance is also known as water. Water is important to the mechanics of the human body. Water in the human body represent approximately 50-60% of body weight in adults and 75% of the body of a newborn. The three points that we will look at are: 1. What do we need water for? 2.How much water do we need to drink? 3.What happens if we do not drink enough water? Transition: First‚ you will
