Allergens, bacteria, mold, radon, legonella, VOC's, Sewage contamination Where does particulate pollution come from? Particulate pollution comes from particulates. These particulates can vary from dust to pets to what ever else is in your envirnment. =Project O Buoy= = = 3. Will this year be an el nino year or a la nina year? Find the average temperature for the areas you looked at and then determine whether the temps at your buoys are above or below the normal. La Nina year, the average temp. is around 28 degrees celcius and the temp. at the bouys are below normal that is why we think it is La Nino.

4. What weather predictions can you then make for this year? We can make that it will be a colder year and this winter is also going to be wet.

On your team page, place the graphs you created, whether the temperatures are above or below normal and whether it is an el nino or la nina year. Be sure to give temperature data, the differences in temperature that you see, and your reasoning for what type of winter we will have.

=Normal Climate= Northeast Ohio = = = = On the graph that appears, read the axes labels and the legend to interpret what it means. = = = = =Foul Water Lab =
 * 1) Temperatures on the graph represent mean (average) temperatures in degrees Farenheit. The average temperatures reflect day and night temperatures across the selected area.
 * 2) Use your browser's back button to go back to the Data Retrieval Page. Use the same selections as before, except for changing the Start Date four years earlier so that you request the last 3 years of temperature data.
 * 3) On the five-year temperature graph, check and record the values reported for each December.
 * 4) Go back to the Data Retrieval Page again. This time, request a static graph of precipitation for the last full year (January to December). Read the axes to interpret the graph. Look for patterns that indicate whether the region you are studying appears to have a rainy season or a dry season.
 * 5) Generate another graph to show five years of precipitation data.
 * Answer these questions:**
 * 1.** Do the two five-year graphs provide enough information for you to discover the "normal" temperature and precipitation levels for your region each December? Describe your reasoning. Yes because the average rain/temp because they stay consistant through the years
 * 2.** What other information could you use to characterize the climate? characterize the mode temp/rain fall, tell the seasons
 * 3.** Choose another 5 year period from any other set of years. How do the temperature and rainfall vary between this time period versus the first one that you looked at? Verys geatly due to different climate areas

1. What percentage of water did you recover? (how much of your original sample?) 52.3% 2. Which filtration step lost the most water? Why do you think so? The filter paper, because it left a lot of water behind in the filter paper. 3. List substances from our homes and nature that must be cleaned from the water. List as many as your group can name. Rust, dirt, and iron. 4. Is it possible to retrieve 100% of water even if mostly clean water is filtered? Why or why not? No because alot of water gets left behind in the filter then i evaporates out of the filter.

=Water Sources Activity A=

> No Japan have only a little amount of population. Yes because it is in central Africa where there is not much water.
 * 1) Which countries are the largest consumers of water? North America, Eastern Asia, Southern Asia
 * 2) How is this map different from other world maps? How is displaying the data this way better than a regular chart? This map uses a lot of colors to describe different areas. The colors help better describe the area.
 * 3) Do the countries that use the most water also have the largest populations? Do those that use the least have the least populations? Give two examples for each.

=Water Sources= What do we use water for? Generate a list as a group to list all the uses of water by all organisms in all types of areas. Class list: Wash, drink, cook, fish, shower, swim, ice, ride snomobiles over it, jet ski, mud bog,

A problem occurs when there are competing activities. These are activities that occur at the same time in the same area. What are some examples of competing activities for different types of living areas: Large city: Water plants, Water Parks Small city: Shower, sewer system Suburbs: Flush the toilets, wash cars Rural areas:Water the animals,

What are some of the problems of competing activities? -May not be enough water to do all activities - conserve water for other people - using water will eventually get expensive

=Water Sources Activity B= How does the amount of water today compare with that of the past or the future? Create a chart to list all the places water is located using the following headings: Fresh water, Salt water, Locked water

Answer the following questions: =Water sources Activity C=
 * 1) How much water is found in each of these? Use the chart located on this site: @http://www.swivel.com/graphs/show/20068274 and determine how much water there is in all the places listed above if the total water on the Earth is 1,386,000,000 cubic kilometers. 96.6 % of water is in ocean. 1.74% of water is in glaciers, 1.7% is groundwater
 * 2) What percent of the total water on Earth is fresh water? 3.44% is fresh water
 * 3) What percent of the FRESH WATER is found frozen in ice? 1.74%
 * 4) What sources of fresh water are found on the surface of the Earth? lakes, swamps, rivers, glaciers, permafrost
 * 5) Which sources can humans most easily obtain their water? groundwater, lakes, rivers
 * 6) To get an idea of the water we can actually use, look at this site: [] Why is this a problem for the human population (and all the other organisms in the world?) Only .3% is actually accessible to humanity
 * 1) List what you observe about the movement of water on the Earth and the amounts of water moving in any direction (The size of the arrow represents the amount of water that is moving. i.e. the larger the arrow, the more water moving that direction.) It constantly goes from the clouds to to the ground and just repeats the cycle.
 * 2) What portions of the water cycle are available for humans to use? Precipitation= we can take the water from the ground and lakes
 * 3) The amount of water on the Earth has stayed the same, but our populations have been increasing rapidly. Is it possible to "run out of water." If not, why is there a problem. No not possible cause the cycles will always continue.
 * 4) Look at the map here @http://soils.usda.gov/use/worldsoils/mapindex/popden.htmland list the areas of the world that are the most populated. Are these areas of the world where there is a lot of water? India, China, Most of Europe. They use a lot of water because of industry,

=Water sources Activity D=

dendritic- resembles the branching pattern of a tree, no apparent control of the flow in the tributaries trellis- resembles a garden trellis, straight lines nearly parallel radial- develops around a central elevated point, really no fixed positions rectangular-streams follow path of least resistance, similar to volcanoes
 * 1) **1: What did you notice about the movement and pooling of water? The water ran down hill and then gather where ever the lowest point is.**
 * 2) **Question 2: The following drainage patterns can exist in PA: dendritic, trellis, radial, and rectangular. Where in the state do they occur and why? (do a search for drainage patterns to understand what these terms mean)**

=Google Earth Questions=

elevation- bigger streams lower elevation, smaller at higher elevation. population- There is more population around the larger rivers(more industry) and lower population with smaller parts of water. landforms- Valleys big streams, hills and mountains with small streams.
 * Question 1: Start at the largest river in your watershed. Fly backwards to the smaller streams and tributaries. What do you notice about the following as you move from the biggest river to the smallest: elevation, population, landforms?**

Your teacher will show you how to use historical imagery. **Question 2: How has our area changed between 1990 and 2009? Support your answer with screenshots from your computer. (use apple/shift/4)** population went up,

In some places, they are fighting over who owns water (think about the Great Lakes, Mississippi River, or Colorado River). **Question 3: Would it be better to use drainage divides instead of state boundaries to determine who owns water? Why or why not?** State boundaries would be better because then no one would be trespassing into other states to get water for there state.
