NASA Blog

I did make or attempted to make a NASA website but i was unable due to the computers lack of processing power as well as a bad internet connection. I did find a lot of very cool articles that i read though.

Nature Trail Blog

On the trail we saw many different species of plants as well as many different forms of pollution. We saw young trees, old trees, and trees in between. The pollution and dirt we found was composed of old dead trees as well as bottles and other garbage. It is very dirty, the signs are illegible due to the layers of dirt and grime. I will be going on saturday to help clean up the trail to make it back to the former glory that it once was.

bio bottle

Cody is going to have the control in the experiment. In our bottles we are going to have soil, water, and a few chosen worms. We may put a fish in or not but we haven't decided yet. In my bottle though I am putting in pieces of a broken keyboard. We will see what the effect is on the biobottles.

2 climate blog

Hurricanes-These are tropical storms that have a low pressure center. They cause high winds and precipitation. Their strength is increased over warmer waters. With global climate change the water is getting warmer and therefore the hurricanes are becoming more powerful than they used to be.

Tornados-These are violent wind vortexes that are often seen with debris around them. They are caused by mesoclones. These are created by low pressure and wind rising at the same time. The tornados have been seen on every continent except anarctica but mostly occur in the U.S. and mostly in tornado alley in the U.S.

Project Progress

We haven't gotten very far yet with our project. We're still thinking of ways to execute our plan. We know that we want to get more people recycling electronics but we dont know how to explain why. We are brain storming how to get more people aware of why they should recycle electronics and how to recycle them.
