is increased, then the percent change in the mass of potatoes cells will decrease. Abstract: In this experiment we will be testing how salt concentrations affects potatoes. First, potatoes were peeled and prepped for the experiment; while a salt water solution was being obtained. Potatoes were submerged and left in the solution for two hours, and during that time the potato lost mass. This loss in mass was due to the liquid molecules in the potato being taken out into the salt solution, but why…

family lives and works on. This station is home of Aviation Schools, Air Technical Training, Marine Aviation Training, and the Blue Angels. This station was placed on the National Priorities List in 1989 due to the contaminated surface and ground water, soil and sediments. This contamination dates back to before World War 2 where there weren’t any regulatory guidance on dumping waste whether it is chemical or otherwise. The contamination is in the form of metals, arsenic, pesticides, persistent…

The rocks were Bentan shale and clay. Its age is estimated to be around 90 million years old. It is suspected that the past deposition environment of the area was underwater marine of the intercontinental sea. The only event that occurred at this era was the continuation transgression of the sea level. The formation at the stop would cause a problem for any construction plan because of the swelling soil. The effects of this could be felt when we are driving across the roads as it will start to…

products. There are two ways to control moss growth. You can fix the conditions that are causing it to grow or purchase moss control products to contain it. Where Does Moss Grow? With thousands of moss species, moss can grow anywhere except in salt water. It flourishes in cool, shady and damp areas. Nonetheless, it can still survive in limited, drought-like conditions. Moss doesn't have roots. Instead, it attaches itself to surfaces with tiny threads to hard surfaces such as the ground, rocks,…

Thousands upon thousands of acres are lost in forest fires every year. There are so many horrible effects from fires and most of them affect so many people. Studies have shown that out of all of the different methods to decrease fire damage, prescribed burns are the most effective. Prevention is the key to society these days and is definitely an important factor in saving lives. Reduction of fuels, prevention of vegetative communities, and improvement of wildlife habitat are happening because of…

Western Cordillera After nearly 720 km of walking, I’ve arrived at one of the highest points in the Western Cordillera. My legs and back are sore from climbing the steep and twisting mountains, while my entire body is frozen from the ice and snow. But the sight I see now is definitely worth it. Everywhere, all of it, is beautiful. The mountains I see are the very jewels of nature, hardly affected by the booming forces of erosion. These are colossal proofs of the Western’s Cordillera’s status as…

A Local Ecosystem Investigation- The Disappearing Micro-Bats Of Scheyville National Park Habitats Habitats that exist in Longneck Lagoon for the micro-bats are terrestrial and aquatic. The forest is classified as a Cumberland Plain Woodland. A healthy ecosystem has 15% to 20% herbivory, in the terrestrial ecosystem it had an average of 33.5% herbivory. In the terrestrial ecosystem, to illustrate the distribution a transect and a transect study was used. From the 160m transect study. Four…

“This is by far the worst water quality we’ve ever seen in our sailing careers,” said Ivan Bulaja, a coach for an Austrian team training at Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro, where the 2016 Olympics will be held.

Kristina Mena, a professor of public health, is an expert in water quality, and conducted a risk test for athletes competing in the waters Rio, assuming they would…
