Polio

  • 9 ingredients
  • 6 are benign
  • formaldehyde to preserve 
  • 3rd words use live vaccine
  • nymicon considered toxic
  • kidney cells can divide a bunch
  • polio has been erdicated
DTAp

  • 15 ingredients
  • most are toxic in large quantities
  • 10 toxic
  • table salt
  • some organic materials are very limited in research ability
MMR n2
  • Measels Mumbs and Rubella
  • 13 ingredients
HIB 
  • 12 dif ingredients
  • salt and nymicen repeated a lot
  • lots of alts
  • posibility for allergens
  • saline is fine
  • synthetics midums have very little good info
Hep B
  • 5 and 9 ingredients
  • formaldihide is a comkkon toxic thing
  • aluminum hydroxide bad when you have a kidney falure
HEP a
  • liver faluere by contaminate dfoods expecially with feces
  • fetuses are common ingredients
  • very unreliable recources 
  • almost no info on one ingredient
HPV
  • newest one
  • nero toxin
  • stds
  • causes warts
  • get vaccinted while you are youn
How much of this stuff is actually going in?
Are they safe?
Who can have the vaccines?
undisered effects?
how toxic is toxic?
is age a factor?

Sci Assessment 7 Re Vamp

To reflect on my performance on Sci Assesment 7 I watched 2 videos in areas that I struggled.
I often Mix up independent and dependent variables while reading test questions. I created the following sketch notes to end my confusion. I came up with a compassion for IV-DV in a medical IV line. IV lines can have their contents changed to elicit a reaction from the patient or the DV.



My group also struggled round water. I did not know that we get water from melted snow. This is interesting because some years we get a lot of snow but others almost none, this must hurt the water supply.

gled with the identification of where drinking water comes from. This video explained that most drinking water comes from snowmelt and

Eco Demo




Ethanol would be the best fuel to burn because of its high energy density and its clean burn.
Ethanol burns blue and therefore clean. Also it has a high energy density which make it an efficient fuel. Over all the best part about this fuel is its low co2 emissions. It is very hard to create enough of this fuel on the other hand because it is hard to farm corn to the extent that is needed to produce enough ethanol to support our infrastructure without harming the environment.

Impacts with Audrey

Today Audrey taught us about the environmental impacts of fossil fuels



Vocab:

  1. air pollution: mixture if air particles  and gasses that contaminate the atmosphere
  2. Global Warming: used to described how greenhouse gasses are trapping heat waves   and raising earth's temperature
  3. Co2 emission: the production and discharge of co2 into the atmosphere
  • Coal releases methane 
  • lasts hundreds of years
  • air pollution
  • acid rain
  • mercury lead and arsenic
  • Oil emits co2 global warming
  • sulfur dioxide   acid rain
  • nitrogen oxide    respiratory
  • can also cause oil spills
  • kills of marine life and creates a marine life food web domino effect
  • gas
  • methane 
  • ethane 
  • propane
  • causes natural resources to diminish
  • can not be replaced quickly

Fossil fuels With Kelly


Today, Kelly taught us  about
fossil fuels and their alternatives
  • formed when  organic matter decomposes when heat and pressure are applied over long periods of time, needs special conditions
  • internal pressure high heat and time are the conditions
  • renewable resource: a substance that can be replenished as fast as they are being drawn out
  • fossil fuels are not renewable bc they can not replenish fast
  • energy efficiency: the corresponding amount of energy produced by a given amount of fuel
  • 11 tons of oil used per year
  • 2088 there will be no more fossil fuels
  • clean energy source: an energy that does not pollute the atmosphere when used
  • think solar geothermal and wind
  • energy yield is much lower than fossil fuels

Coalby


Coalby taught us about coal
  • coal: is a fossil fuel made with million years of heat and pressure
  • 300 million years for coal to form
  • formed in carboniferous period (3029 million 200 mil ago)
  • fell from trees in the swampy water
  • peat looks like bark
  • tons of coal is mined
  • co2 is released when it is burned 
  • china is most but us is second
  • emits most co2 out of all the fossil fuels
  • main factor in acid rain

Oil with nick

Today, Nick taught us about Coal

  • oil is a fossil fuel
  • fossil fuel; dead plants and animals under heat and pressure that can be burned for energy
  • plankton make sup a lot of oil
  • Diatom: a small plankton that makes up most the of oil 
  • use sand or acid to push oil up a pipe after a pipe is drilled down
  • refined: take out oils impurities
  • Crude oil is not usable when it come out of ground
  • used for plastic rubber asfault crayons ink and more
  • 9.4 million barrels a day
  • 42 gallons per barrel 
  • oil is a pollutant like in oceans
  • cause s most extreme acid rain
  • when burned releases co2 ands methane 
  • terribkle for marine lilfe

Fracking With Scott




Today Scott taught us about fracking and its consequences.
  • 9% of fracked methane goes into atmosphere
  • methane is a very potent greenhouse gas
  • fracking or hydraulic fracturing uses high-pressure water to release natural gas to be later captured
  • can create earthquakes bc water that is pumped in works similar to a hockey table: makes stuff slide around so small earthquakes are common
  • causes methane contamination 
  • impacts everything negatively except for the economy
  • 11% of greenhouse gas is methane
  • way more potent than c02
  • methane from fracking invades nearby wells
  •  has an easily observable effect on air quality
  • causes birth problems
  • vocab to know:
  • Hydraulic fracturing; a process that pumps high-pressure water into the ground as to release natural grass
  • Contamination: the action of becoming impure by poisoning
  • Groundwater: the water found in the underground in the cracks and spaces(aquifers) under soil sand and rock

EColi

I need some more pictures but
After learning that it is quite possible that water contains fecal matter and therfor ecoli, that it would be interesting to try to specifically culture e coli. I then mae a fixed mount slide from one of the most promisssing looking agar plates, fixed and gram stained it. Thi sis what I found:
If we look closely we can see ecoli shaped gram negative bacteria (diplobacillus shaped) which makes me gie a plausible for the existence of ebola in these slides.
