A prediction about your experimental results
What is a hypothesis?
The chemical formula of water
What is H20?
Water sticks to water
What is cohesion?
Water that seeps into the soil and fills in the spaces (pores) between soil particles and rocks
What is groundwater?
Ocean becomes more acidic because there is more carbon dioxide in the air
What is ocean acidification?
The variable you want to change on purpose
What is the independent variable?
The three subatomic particles
What are protons, neutrons, and electrons?
Water sticks to any other substance
What is adhesion?
An area of land that drains all the stream and rainfall to a common outlet
What is a watershed?
More heat energy on ocean causes temperature of ocean water to increase
what is ocean warming?
The variable that you measure or observe
What is the dependent variable?
The unequal sharing of electrons
What is polarity?
Water molecules at the surface of a body of water stick together
What is surface tension?
The difference between porosity and permeability
What is porosity is the volume of pores the soil has and permeability is how much a fluid can pass through the soil?
Extremely small pieces of plastic. Enter oceans by way of wind transport, runoff, storms, precipitation.
What are microplastics?
What you use to record and display data
What is a graph?
Bonding between water molecules
What is a hydrogen bond?
When ice floats in water
What is density?
The functions of wetlands
What is filtering water, protect from floods, provide food, wildlife habitat, prevent erosion, healthier watershed?
A body of water progressively becomes enriched with nutrients and minerals
What is eutrophication?
Identify the IV and DV from the following experiment: The Effect of Salt Water on Plant Growth.
IV: Salt Water
DV: Plant Growth
Answers may vary.
It takes a long time for the temperature of water to increase because of...
What is high specific heat?
What is zone of aeration, water table, and zone of saturation?
Wildlife habitat, slows down runoff, controls flooding, protects from erosion and nutrient leakage
What are benefits of riparian buffers?
