Holes in the Ozone Layer making High Temperature in Stream Flow

Because of the ozone layer our earth is heating up, and scientist have found a green house gas that may cause the temperature to change with the stream flow of rivers and streams amongst the forests. It warms up the water sheds making it alternate stream flow. Forest Service scientists have data to see what is the ozone layer is doing to the stream flow in the dry seasons. Because of the temperatures are heating up there is less stream flow in the forest watersheds. This is happening in the southern east of the United States. So this happens in the late summer where the stream flow is at its lowest and its happening in the Appalachian Mountains where the ozone layer is its strongest. The ozone layer is also reducing water from trees. So the ozone layer can reduce plants from getting water and because there is less water it can cause a drought. And water might not even be available for humans.

 I have learned a lot from this article. It makes me realize how much of an impact of how big global warming is. We have a very thin layer of ozone layer and we want to save as much as we can of it. So this is a message to everyone, to try and stay green and save electricity, use other ways to get around like riding a bike, and keep on planting more beautiful plants and trees.

Holes in the Ozone Layer are causing temperatures in Stream Flow to Rise

Chemical Reactions

We did this awesome experiment in science. We had little pieces of paper and we drew a dot on it with a marker then we put it in a cup that had a little bit of water in it. And as the paper soaked up the water it moved up the paper. Because the water had a bigger pull it was then polar and the water pulled the marker up the paper. Near the bottom when the water started is where it is mostly polar. But near the end as the water started to take longer to go up the page it was least polar.

Here are some of the differnt ways I did this experiment.

When w use the water it goes up the paper very fast. So here I just drew three dots and if you can see it brings the colour up the page and also there is some pink in it too.

Here I did a squiggily line of yellow and blue highlighter so it looks like a big blog but it cool.

Then I did the same again but instead I did a stripe.

For me this one was the coolest becasue i drew a flower that was dark red, but the water took the red out so now the bottom is highlighter pink and the red mixed with blue making purple

Now we used alcohol instead, the difference is that the the alcohol pulls the colour up more and it takes much longer for the alcohol to go up the paper.

And I tried these two and they look really cool!

Skin Pigment of Black Mice

Melanocyte is a type of cell in an organism that is used for skin, so it is in its hair and fur. This fur and hair protects them from the sun and gives the fur and hair the colour. But because of these cells it can lead to skin cancer called melanoma. It is a very difficult to cure. A few years ago scientist have found a protein in the human body that is more than 50% melanoma. But over the years scientists are doing very well to make a treatment to cure it. Besides the treatment still this type of caner shows up in several patients. So scientist have tried to find how this melanocytes works, and will try to remove it from mice with black fur and see if the pigment changes.  But there was no changes in the pigment of the mice, but at birth then had a normal colour but as they grew they turned grey from black before coming white.  So since there is this changing it then means that the pigment cells clearly exist. The renewing of the pigment cells shows another step for treating melanoma. By blocking these proteins they could eliminate all cancerous stem cells.

Molecule Builders

In class we did a cool thing where we built actual molecules, and here are the ones that we built:

 Here is the molecule Methane. It is a gas, its chemical formula is CH4. As you can see in the top this is how it all becomes stable by sharing its valence electrons. So we have one carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms.

 And here we have the molecule Propane, it is a gas. We use it in barbeques. Its chemical formula is C3H8. So it has three carbon atoms and 8 hydrogen atoms.

This is Ethanol its chemical Formula is C2H5OH. So it has two carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.  But also depending one how you put this molecule together it can become a different molecule. So even though it could have the same elements the different form makes different compounds.

 Then this molecule is, well I don't have the name so then you an try and figure it out. But this has the chemical formula of H2CO. Two hydrogen atoms, one carbon and oxygen

Then We got to do something really fun and we made our own molecule, so my group called ours Hanalexium. Its is a solid and has the chemical formula of C12H19O6F2Cl2Br. Yes there is a lot! And it makes us fly but since it has Fluorine in it, and that burns our skin then it can kill us. So yeah it is a cool molecule.
