Mexico lies

So, when finishing up our script we needed to find a pesticide or company that was lieing about pesticide's effect to help our argument. So here is what we found:

This talks about this one pesticide lie about its effects which are much worse than they really are. (Add more later)

Why does warm water contain less oxygen compared to cold water?

Well what do you know, another water post

Its so strange, hmm...

Anyway, found this site: http://kywater.org/ww/ramp/rmtemp.htm. This site talks about how sometimes streams that don't move quickly can get much more warmer than they should in summer because of factories that use cold water and spit out hot water. And because these streams get super hot, the fish can die and the eggs in the stream might not hatch. This site also shows different types of fish and the hottest waters they can survive in. A nice site with lots of helpful information.

More watertakular stuff

Started a bit on the power point. Not exactly sure what is supposed to be on the power point, so its kinda weird, but thats OK.

Another difference between hot and cold water is that hot water evaporates faster. So the entire surface of hot water has steam pressure. Just an interesting note. Got it from here: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Physics-1358/Differences-hot-cold-water.htm.

More water info.

http://water.me.vccs.edu/courses/ENV110/Lesson12_print.htm

This site is also really good. This site talks about many different things, such as DO, DO's attraction to water, different factors that allow DO to enter water, the microbiology of DO, the effects of DO on humans and the effects of DO on fish. Its a bit lengthy, but it has a ton of information and is a really good site.

What do you know, a blogy thingy.

Yay Yahoo. :3
So, this kinda tells a big difference between warm and cool water, there is less oxygen in warm water. THEN it also tells why, which is because 'when water is heated up and when getting warm the oxygen is expelled away from water.' So thats probably going to show up quite a bit in our testing of different waters.

ALSO! Even though everyone did it, I kinda think it helps with the project. Today, I learned how to test water for DO and temp. So when we go on our trip around San Diego and Mexico, I will be able to figure out information.

Step 1: Put on gloves.
