This Month In Science # 10

What we did this Month in Science was, we been studying Human Impact. Human Impact Institute came to our class to help us discuss Human Transportation. We then went out side our school to have people do some surveys on transportation, water, energy and waste. Not a lot of people had the time to answer our surveys. My group is Water. We tested water, to see how much chlorine it had in it. The school water, had chlorine in it, and so did the fish in our classes water.Martinique, Sebastian, Kaitlyn, Tiffany, Anna, Shayna, and I are in my group. We been making a poster to represent our selected topic, which is water. We came up with a slogan.. which is Water you gonna do when its gone? Which means what will you do, when the water is gone, if you keep on polluting in the water. It's most likely to look black and unhealthy to drink or use for anything. We made a design to match our slogan, which the design will be on cups, cups tipping over, and the cups will have dirty water as it tips over in each example. Cool shirt right? I can't wait to wear it !!

This is a picture of an example for our t-shirt design, its not what we choose, but its a example step, that made us choose the example we choose for final.It shows water being polluted, because garbage is in the water

What I learned this week in science is that, the water in the ocean is being polluted. Since it is being polluted we are drinking water with chlorine. Chlorine is being put in the water, but is that honestly making it clean? If we have to drink water with chlorine in it, I think it makes the water just as unhealthy, because of the simple fact that we are putting contaminated water into our systems. So the water is just as dirty. I told you how we went out and asked people to answer our surveys right? Okay, so NO ONE , I mean NO ONE wanted to answer our groups survey. It seemed as if people in the lower east side don't have time to answer questions. But the people who did, they said they turned the water on about 5-7 times, wasting water, which they did not know if the water has chlorine it. Working with the Human Impact Institute, was fun. They was really cool. Their names are Adam, Melanie, and Tara. Melanie was my favorite. She really helped my group have the design we have now, and it is awesome. And she was fun talking to. It was a fun experience to have people like the Human Impact Institute come to our class, because got to meet people we don't know.

This Picture shows Water being half way black.. If people keep poluting and putting junk, it will be fully black. Right now it's half way black.

Wastewater a key issue in NY'S fracking debate

The main point to this article is that fracking is a problem. Not sure of how to handle millions of gallons of contaminated water. There are 3 options for waste disposal in The Department of Environmental Conservations. These 3 options are..
— Truck the millions of gallons of wastewater produced per well to a treatment facility and either discharge the treated water into a river or reuse it for another drilling project;
— Ship it out of state for deep-well injection disposal; or
— Recycle it on-site for drilling multiple wells. The authors arguement is that we are left with solid landfilling. This author didn't use graphs or pictures, a lot of text was used.



I agree with this article because even if we use left over water we are left with landfilling solid water. But then again I don't agree with some parts to this article because a lot of money is being wasted to make the water better, but then once again it's only making the water better by putting in treatments even though it is expensive. 1.3 billion to 1.7 billion is being used for treatment.
