Great pacific garbage patch

Water cycle

What is the water cycle? The water cycle is a continuous process in which water moves through the environment.

Does the water cycle have a begining or end? no it does not, there is no begining or end. it does the same thing over and over again, kinda like recycling.

In my diagram, i explained how when the suns rays hit the puddle, the water heats up and soon evaporates, then once the cloud that its in gets to heavy, it relives itself and it rain. then we are at our puddle again and soon the process will start all over agin.

one of the websites i visited lately to help me with my science project consisted of information. It was a blog i stumbled upon about the great pacific garbage patch. The blog talked abut how people always think about how maybe throwing a candy bar raper or a small piece of trash out the window while there driving wont cause any damage, but that there are millions of Americans that think that each day, and when millions of people believe that it wont hurt our earth, it soon turns into a big problem. not only to us but to sea life and sometimes even land life too.

Essentialquestions

Amanda's Essential Questions.


Whats, specifically about your topic, are you going to research? I am going to research how the pollution in the water is effecting creatures in the water and even on land.
What conclusion did you come to? Birds can mistaken trash as food. sea animals water get polluted with trash and lots of nasty stuff that gets put into the water which can be posionus to the fish and could kill them. What do you recommend average citizens to do to make a difference? I recommend that people start recycling more and maybe taking there trash somewhere else instead of the ocean. Also if people continued to clan up the garbage patch, it wont be so bad.
What would happen if no one listened to your recommendations? The ocean will continue to be filled with garbage and more animals will die, plus the garbage dump will just get bigger and bigger and spread to other oceans.
What would happen if people did listen to your recommendations? If people did clean the garbage patch, recycle and throw trash away in the trash cans, the garbage patch would probably slowly shirk, maybe not totally dissapear but it woulndt be as bad.

Penny lab

The lab i did was the penny lab, I was supose to predict how many drops of water could fit onto the penny befor it spilled over. in my prediction, i said it was going to be about 10. My partner and 1 use a medicine droper to squirt the droplets out onto the penny, our first try we got to 12, our secon 15 and our last 1 we got to 23. The reson why this happened was due to adhesion and cohesion. Adhesion made the water molecules sticky, which made them all stick onto the surface.Cohesion help the water molecules atrract eachother.
