=Foul water lab= 1. What percentage of water did you remove?(how much of your original sample) ANSWER: 25% 2. What filtration step last the most water? Why do you think that? ANSWER: removing the oil, because when the dropper went down inside the water it took more of the water than it did the oil which reduced most of our water and it lost its volume by 25%. 3.List the substances from our homes and nature that must be cleaned from the water.(as many as you can) 1.boiled water 2.human beings 3.clothing with the washer 4.dishes 4.Is it possible to receive 100% of water even if mostly clean water is filtered?(why or why not) ANSWER: NO because after it is all filtered out with all of the steps about 25-50 percent of the water is taken away. Especially when the oil is taken away from the water. The reason for all the steps is because the oil takes most of the water away.

=Water Sources Activity A=

1. China, India and the United States 2. Its color coded and unlabeled. It is ranked from the greatest to least. 3. Yes, Eastern Asia and North America. Yes, Japan and Central Africa

=Water Sources= 1. For cooking Dishes plants Bath Cloths washing toilet water animals scrubbing the floor water used in the pool water used for the grass cleaning in general drinking water used to clean cars creeks & rivers 2. Large Cities: pool they need water for showering clean the car need water for house purposes plants need water for cooking could save water by going to buy letters of water at a store to put in toilet to flush Small Cities They would have alot of water to use for just about anything. Suburbs: Same problems as a large city Rural: Crops- use it for either crops or bathing

=Watershed= 1.) Mississippi, Ohio, Allegheny 2.) The picture(s) below are the answers to #2 3. drainage divides because if a stream or lake is half in one state and half in the other they might fight over it and with the drainage divides they might be able to reduce the fighting over control of the water.

=NORMAL CLIMATE=





.


 * 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 key below each graph explains all of the information that is needed.


 * 2.** What other information could you use to characterize the climate?
 * temperate because of the different seasons such as summer, winter, and spring


 * 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?
 * they could change there cycles of how much rainfall is provided.



One ten west, equator



GRAPHS ABOVE QUESTIONS: 1)*Yes its plotted on the graph 2)*Amount of parcipitaiton, *Climate Changes

QUESTIONS FROM HOMEPAGE/CLIMATE CHANGES 1) below average: 110 west equator above average 147 east equator

2) El Nina because there haven't been many hurricanes and it hasn't been much coldness/or snow on the ground Warmer but snow later on in the new year (above is our prediction)

 * Secondhand Smoke/Environmental Tobacco Smoke***

1. What causes these pollutants? a. Environmental tobacco smoke that is inhaled involuntarily or passively by someone who is not smoking. b. Secondhand Smoke- a mixture of smoke given off by the burning end of a cigarette, pipe, or cigar and the smoke exhaled from/passed by the smokers.

2. What health effects are caused by these types of pollutants? a. Secondhand smoke can cause bad cases of asthma, severity symptoms, sudden infant death syndrome, bronchitis, pneumonia, ear infections, severe asthma attacks, lung infections, and different types of cancer such as: Breast Cancer.

3. What can be done to reduce the amount of these pollutants indoors? a. Don’t smoke in your home (and/or) car and get your home clean and fresh of smoke smells and keep it clean and clear of all that smoke that lingers in the air. b. Use a smoke detector for a use of something too so you know when there is smoke pollutants in your home that’s not good for you or your children


 * Asbestos***

1. What causes these pollutants? a. The causes are pipes, furnaces, insulation materials, asbestos shingles, mill board, textured paints, other coating materials, and floor tiles b.

2. What health effects are caused by these pollutants? a. Lung disease b. Mesothelioma c. Variety of different cancers such as: Long term risk of chest cancer and lung cancer 3. What can be done to reduce the amount of these indoors? a. Keep your floor tiles remodeled every so many months or years as soon as you know they are rotting b. Keep all floorboards and other house materials that can rot kept to a certain spectrum and keep them clean and fresh with plastic wrap so it don’t get ruined as quick. c.
