Environmental Science - Acidity lab

Type up your lab. SEE ATTACHED for your evaluation rubric and guide to writing a lab.

1) Title

Statement of the Problem:

2) Background Information:

3) Hypothesis: if/then/because

4) Development (materials and procedures)

5) Results:

Analyze your results and explain it to the world - be scientific explaining what you proved with your experiment
Ex. The shell that was in lemon juice for 13 days with a pH of 5 experienced a change in weight of 12%. It was also observed that the colour changed, 5 2mm holes were formed and the shell became very brittle breaking easily with slight hand pressure.

Conclusion: THIS PART IS INDIVIDUAL - the rest of the lab can be in your groups - I want to see your thinking here!

Answer your intital question
Explain whether your hypothesis was correct
Explain any potential mistakes in this experiment (like evaporation)
How can this information be applied to the real world problem of the rise in ocean acidification?
What further research could be done in our lab and out on the oceans to learn more about this problem?

Environmental Science - Footprint seafood

http://www.cbc.ca/listen/shows/columnists-from-cbc-radio/episode/15536257

1. How many tons of seafood are harvested each year?

2. Why did the carbon footprint increase for fisheries since the 90’s?

3. Do you think that seafood carbon footprint labelling is a good idea? Why does Susanna Fuller argue that eating fish has a lower carbon footprint than other protein?

4. What is by-catch?

5. Should all food be labelled for carbon footprint?

6. What level of government would be responsible for such a food labelling program?

7. For someone labeling carbon footprint do you think that they should consider – fuel? Equipment manufacture? By-catch? Waste of the animal? Waste for cleaning? How far the markets are from where the food is produced (transportation costs)? Damage done to the local environment? Packaging?

8. Is there a way to make reducing our carbon footprint easier for the consumer to make an informed choice?

3. Use the rubric below to mark a previous student's stop motion which can be found on the right. Be sure to put at least 150 words worth of comments and suggestions.

3. Day two - story boardDay three - Start taking picturesDay four, five, six... - Take more picturesNext day - Import pictures to E drive in your own folder on that computer, start looking for sounds you need sound effects. Save the sounds on that same computer and record your own sounds, Background music http://www.jamendo.com/en/(link is external) Sound effects - http://soundbible.Curriculum(link is external)
