Hurumanu - Decomposing and Recycling

Aim: To learn about the rate that different materials decompose. 

Hypothesis: I think that the banana and the bread will compost the best

Materials:

1.   Test tube rack
2.   Paper
3.   Banana
4.   Bread
5.   Styrofoam
6.   4 test tubes
7.     water

Steps:

1.   get the test tube rack
2.   get bananas and put it in the test tube
3.   get the styrofoam and put it in the test tube 
4.   get the bread and soaked in water then put it in the test tube
5.   get the paper and put it in the test tube
6.   
7.

Conclusion: 

FINDINGS:

TODAY	Colour	Change	Observations
Banana	yellow		gone brown a bit
Paper	brown		still, brown
Stylophone cup	white		still white
Bread	white		soaked in water

•   banana is yellow gone brown a bit
•   paper is still brown
•   Stylophone cup is still white
•    Bread white but soaked in water

3 weeks	Colour	Change	Observations
Banana	yellow	greeny brown	the banana is brown with lots of molds
Paper	brown	nothing	smells like a new bike tyers from a bike shop

ACIDIFICATION

the action or process of making or becoming acidic.

What is happening to the oceans?

What does this do to shellfish?

For oysters, scallops and other shellfish, lower pH means less carbonate, which they rely on to build their essential shells. As acidity increases, shells become thinner, growth slows down and death rates rise. ... They're using a form of calcium carbonate to build their shell that dissolves really easily.

ICECAP MELT

DEFINITION: The ice caps are the thick layers of ice and snow that cover the North and South Poles. This could cause the ice caps to melt.

It would make the sea level go up

If all the ice covering Antarctica, Greenland, and in mountain glaciers around the world were to melt, sea level would rise about 70 meters (230 feet). The ocean would cover all the coastal cities. And land area would shrink significantly. ... Scientists are studying exactly how ice caps disappear.

WATER VAPOUR

Water vapor, water vapor or aqueous vapor is the gaseous phase of water. It is one state of water within the hydrosphere. Water vapor can be produced from the evaporation or boiling of liquid water or from the sublimation of ice.

Warmer air is able to hold more moisture. As the climate warms, air temperatures rise, more evaporation from water sources and land occurs, thus increasing the atmospheric moisture content.
