A freshman taking a Dying Environment class believes that blood is a substance; however, he or she is incorrect. Substances and mixtures are both types of matter that act in different ways. A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not combined chemically. Furthermore, substances cannot be separated by physical means, whereas mixtures can. Because it contains many substances that can be separated through physical means after being combined, blood is a mixture instead of a…

“I’ve got it!” Exclaimed John as he stumbled and dropped some toxins into the furnace. Right then, a mini geyser of water erupted from the furnace. “If we use the combined power of toxins and heat we can hydrate the whole country of Imagine - Nation.”John was just experimenting in his school’s science room, it had a furnace because many students seemed to come up with many experiments relating to furnace. Later that week, John thought of a name for the machine he intended to create, Hydro King…

Ice transforms at a point of degrees. This degree would be 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius. It must be at this degree or lower to transform into ice. If it is higher than the freezing point of water, then it will be a form of water or ice melting into water. The different molecules, or also called the things that make up the ice or water, are more dense in cold water. They become dense and come to each other which makes them tight into an ice cube. When the ice gets warm, it moves the…

After collecting all the results into the above experiment data tables and line graph, it is evident that there is not a great difference in the rate of transpiration between the cold water and water at room temperature. The results in the experiment indicate that cold water transpires at a faster rate than water at room temperature. The results were measured from 0 to 30 minutes. At the fifteen minute mark the transpiration rate for both differed slightly. In trial two and three, the results…

Results This experiment’s results revealed that the higher the temperature of vinegar that the egg was placed in, the less time it took for the eggshell to dissolve. A data trend showed that eggs in vinegar at a temperature of 62.8C took around twelve hours to completely dissolve their eggshell. Eggs set in vinegar at 24.5C took about sixteen hours to dissolve their eggshell and eggs in 1C vinegar took about twenty hours or more (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3). Figure 1. This line graph…

Fracking is a big controversial topic that has been argued for years because of the effects it can have on the environment. Fracking has been used since the 1940s to get natural gas from rocks such as limestone and sandstone. At first, the workers started to use small explosions to get the natural gas from the dead organisms in the stone. The oil and gas companies later changed by using water pressure which is known as hydraulic fracking. This sounds good but fracking can have…

Problem Statement Production from modern shale oil reservoirs is done typically through hydraulic fracturing in horizontal wells. Although this discovery has led to a massive increase in production in areas that were otherwise thought to be unprofitable, there is still an enormous amount of oil left in the reservoirs. It is estimated that oil recovery is less than 10% from shale oil reservoirs. 1 Of that 10%, is it estimated only 1-2% of the reserves are recoverable. With numbers so low, it is…

Scrub Daddy is a cleaning tool for dishes created by Aaron Krause. Aaron (aka daddy of the scrub daddy) describes it as the cutest high tech scrubbing tool in the world. He claims it is the greatest kitchen scrubby tool. The amazing thing about this product is that it completely changes its texture when submerged into cold or warm water. When in need for general scrub applications just submerge the smiley sponge into warm water to to make it soft. For the trickier gunk all you need to do is run…

Hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, is the process of drilling and injecting fluid into the earth’s surface at high pressures in order to fracture the clastic sedimentary rock or shale rock surface. Fracturing the shale rock releases the natural gas, petroleum, or water that could be trapped inside these underground natural reservoirs. The wells are drilled vertically into the earth’s surface for hundreds or thousands of feet and include horizontal or directional extensions to allow…

Throughout the years oil and gas compaines have come up with a technique known as fracking where people drilled into deep shale fromations to retreat natural gases and oil from the oceans. Fracking transformed the United States economic system by providing a new alternative at seeking oil and gas from the oceans, however not everyone agrred to the use of fracking and are considering fracking to be unsafe to the environment and the people and utlimately believing that fracking should be elimnated…
