The purpose of this project was for students to observe how a Betta fish could
survive in a habitat made from a 3 liter Ozarka water bottle. The hypothesis stated
that in the decomposition part of the eco-column the student would try to raise the
pH. The student was supposed to add substances for the worms to decompose but
the student didn’t add anything and the pH stayed at a 7.0. The only thing needed to
create this project was to buy a 3 liter Ozarka bottle. This student was in charge of
the decomposer section. . The decomposition section was made up of soil and
worms. The student had to make a trap door so they could check the temperature
and the pH. Then added holes so the worms could breathe. There were 3 sections,
the aquatic, decomposition, and terrestrial. The decomposition people had to check

The first step to check aquatic nitrate was to rinse the pipette, fill it up with 5mL of
water from the aquatic section and put it in a test tube, the next thing they had to
Nature has a unique way of portraying the truth. This short story by Guadalupe Nettel is able to connect how the narrator’s marriage reflects the life of the Betta fish. Despite all of this, there are many marriages like the narrator’s and her husband, Vincent, that go through challenges that are soon discovered to be fault of a failing marriage and how animals can portray the lives of their owners. However, The narrator soon learns through observing her fish that her marriage is dysfunctional and isn't working the way she hoped for. Therefore, my lens revolves around nature portraying reality.

We were gonna do another experiment, the Acidity Test but we didn't get to. We do have the results from the Acidity test from another time. We found many different critters in our group. Some of them were big and small and they were all different.
The nirtate average was 0.9 ppm. For dissolved oxygen we found the average of 9.8 ppm. The dissolved oxygen average is significantly more than the other two averages, but that’s okay because you want to have a lot of dissolved oxygen in the water. A high dissolved oxygen rate means there is more air available to the fish and other organisms in the water. These tests concluded that there was no pollution in the creek, but we still wanted to support this conclusion, so we did our final
The anion tests followed the cation tests. To test for the presence of the chloride (Cl-) anion, a small scoop of the unknown compound was mixed with 1 mL of water in a test tube to create a solution. Then, 1 mL of 6 M nitric acid (HNO3) and 1 mL of silver nitrate (Ag(NO3)2) solution were added to the test tube to see if a white precipitate formed. To test for the presence of the sulfate (SO42-) anion, a small scoop of the unknown compound was mixed with 1 mL of water in a test tube to create a solution. Then, 1 mL of 6 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) and 1 mL of barium chloride (BaCl2) solution were added to the test tube to see if a white precipitate formed.
Study of Hawaiian Fish by Hubert Vos was created in 1898. It is an oil on canvas, seventeenth century style Dutch still-life painting that depicts a elderly Hawaiian fisherman emptying a lauhala basket filled with bountiful catch of fifty-seven varieties of fish native to Hawaiian waters, carefully rendered from sketches of fish commonly displayed in the Honolulu Fish market, on a marble slab.1 I propose that this is work is a piece of art Hawaiian art because it portrays the ancient Hawaiian art of fishing, displays staple native fish that were important to the diet of ancient Hawaiians along with the ancient art of lauhala basket weaving . The reason why I chose this specific piece of art to write about is because it caught
The teacher asks students what they already know about the topic “pollution” and they will individually complete the “known” column. Then the teacher asks: “What do you want to learn from
The Honors Earth Science classes went to the Susquehanna River to solve a problem. The problem was not knowing if the is healthy. The classes want to know if the river is healthy, because the students live near the river, and it affects the classes everyday lives. To answer the problem, the classes did a series of tests, and made physical observations at various islands in the river. The students used test kits and other tools to test pH, temperature, phosphate, nitrate, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen.
Imagine surviving a fatal experience only to be punished and blamed for a death you could do nothing about. Now, imagine losing a girlfriend and almost losing a sister and having to live with the grief with no one to share your pain. These are the two situations Sage and Maddy find themselves in after Isabel’s death (Sage’s girlfriend) in “The Isabel Fish” by Julie Orringer. Isabel died in a car crash with Maddy in the passenger seat, and she has felt blamed by everyone, including her brother and Isabel’s friends. Because of Isabel’s death, Maddy 's relationship with her brother became a series of punishments, however, after Sage feels guilty for killing Maddy 's fish, they finally opened up to each other and their relationship strengthens.
Before getting the goldfish subjects, two beakers were filled with 200 ml fish water and weighed. Four goldfish were then collected gently from the fish tank and each two of them were transferred into one beaker. Each beaker along with fish and water was weighed again to determine the weight of each pair of goldfish. For the control group of each trial, the oxygen chamber was firstly filled with 200 ml fish water; after two goldfish along with 200 ml water were transferred into it, it was sealed in order to prevent oxygen exchange with the ambient environment.
Some include, chemical testing, biological tests, and physical observations. Chemical testing consists of testing for the amount of nitrates, phosphates, the pH values, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity. These aspects of the river were all tested because they can show how healthy the river is. Testing these aspects is very simple but requires a tool kit. After the testing is done, in order to determine how healthy the river actually is, tests can be done to show the levels of chemicals, water clarity, the temperature and more.
Utilizing the method that the experimenters have come up with, the procedure isolates the variable being tested, which is the paper towel brand. By not changing other aspects of the procedure, other factors have a lower chance of affecting the accurate results of the answer to the main question. Additionally, the method is a quick and simple experiment, causing no use of excessive time than the provided duration. Within the first minutes of the experiment, the experimenters and the advisor realized that the method did not really provide accurate results due to merely estimating the numbers without the use of a graduated cylinder. Changing that aspect of the procedure by using a graduated cylinder to measure the amounts of water instead helped
Pat McGurrin October 24, 2015 Period #1 Honors Biology Mr. Dinunzio Murder and Meal Lab Analysis Procedure: 1.)

Put on safety glasses.
Ever since the industrial revolution commenced, around one third of the carbon dioxide released by human interference has been absorbed by the ocean, which is one of the reasons of the drastic change in climate as well. Without the ocean absorbing carbon dioxide, the carbon dioxide n the atmosphere would be drastically higher, with possibly increasing the levels of climate change. The point of the research is to see how will the pH affect the organisms in the marine ecosystem and does carbonation affect an organism’s mass and form. Many organisms that are part of the marine food chain are going to be affected by ocean acidification due the levels of acidity deteriorating the calcium carbonate within the animal. It turns out
The Biotope Aquarium Explained In a biotope aquarium, the aquarist attempt to simulate a natural habitat, assembling fish species, plants, water chemistry and decorations found in that specific ecosystem. A “true” biotope should be a mirror of a natural habitat. There are many good reasons for setting up an aquarium that simulates a natural habitat. Those of us who have done everything, bred everything and kept most fish might simply want a new challenge.
