Marine Pollution Lab Report
Instructions
: Complete the lab report below while you design a model of an oil spill and test the effectiveness of clean-up methods in the Marine Pollutions Lab. You will submit your completed lab report.
(30 points possible)
Name and Title
: (1 point)
Ben Finch
Mr. Muellner
Objective(s)
: (2 points)
What was the main purpose of the lab? The purpose of this lab is to use to find the best method to clean up an oil spill
Hypothesis
: (2 points)
In an oil spill, if a chemical has been used for cleanup, then it will clean up the most oil.
Procedure
: (5 points)
What steps did you take to complete the lab? Clearly define the dependent and independent variable(s).
The dependent variable is the amount of oil left
The independent variable is the cleaning method
The steps
1.
Create a beach model with sand and water in an aluminum pan
2.
Create the oil spill using cooking oil
3.
Add feather to represent the birds
4.
Use a cotton ball to try and clean up the spill. This is my physical cleanup
5.
Use laundry soap to represent my chemical cleanup.
Data & Observations
: (10 points)
Evaluate your clean-up methods as poor, average, good, or excellent. You may use this sample
data table or create your own to match your experiment. As well, record any other observations about your experiment and describe the results.

Conclusion
: (10 points)
Your conclusion will include a summary of the lab results and an interpretation of the results. Please answer in complete sentences.
1.
What was the overall effectiveness of your chosen clean-up methods? The overall effectiveness of the methods I chose to clean up the oil spill was about 60%
2.
Estimate how much of the spill you were able to clean using the physical method and using the chemical method. I was able to clean up the oil spill with my physical method, which was a cotton ball was about 3.
Which area was most difficult to clean: the water, the shore, or the feathers? Why? I think trying to clean the feather was the hardest one to try and clean. I think the feathers soak up the oil more and that makes it harder to clean. I also think they were the hardest because they were items with the biggest surface area. Both methods of cleaning did not work. 4.
What factors would be present in an actual oil spill that was not included in your model? Some of the factors that would be present in an actual oil spill that I didn’t deal with would be more animals, not just feathers. It would also be a different type of oil, that would make it tougher to clean. There would also be different types of sea life that would be harmed and affected by the oil spill.
5.
What impacts might your clean-up methods have on the environment? The impacts on my physical cleanup would have less impact on the environment. It uses an item that is safe and doesn’t cause more of a problem. The chemical method could cause more of an impact since it is introducing another substance to an area that doesn’t already have it in there. It could affect the water, then it would affect the living creatures. Unless Otherwise Noted All Content © 2023 Florida Virtual School.

A friend of yours went panning for gold last weekend and found a nugget
that appears to be gold. With your newfound scientific prowess, you set out
to determine if it is really gold. Your tests show that the nugget has a mass
of 7.6 g. Immersing the nugget in water raised the volume from 7.22 mL to
8.06 mL. The density of gold is 19.32 g/cm3. What will you tell your friend?

Project PART I. Our Carbon Budget
A major driver of global climate change is the emissions of greenhouse gases such as CO₂ into the
atmosphere from human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels for transportation, electric
power generation, manufacturing, agriculture, home heating, and so forth. Global average temper-
atures are now slightly higher than 1° C above their pre-Industrial Revolution levels. Damaging
sea level rise and extreme weather events (such as the recent wildfires in Canada that led to the
unhealthy air in NYC last summer) will become an increasingly major problem around the world
if global average temperature rises more than 1.5° C. Scientists estimate that the total additional
amount of CO₂ that can be put into the atmosphere without reaching the 1.5° C level is about 51
parts per million (ppm) or approximately 400 Gigatons (Gt). Let's call 51 ppm our carbon budget.
In this project, we want to use linear systems of differential equations to analyze the…

3 Decompression sickness (also known as the bends) is a condition that affects divers and others operating under
pressurized conditions. It occurs when gases such as nitrogen (N₂) come out of solution in the blood. This can
lead to symptoms including joint pain, shortness of breath, and paralysis. Severe cases may result in death.

b The liquid medium of blood is water. What type of compound (ionic, polar covalent, nonpolar covalent) is

You work in a research organization that is looking for markers of various diseases that can be used as a diagnostic for the disease. It has been reported in the past that high levels of Cu are found in the sweat of people with cystic fibrosis. One of the research projects is focused on looking for high levels of Cu in samples that can be obtained non-invasively such as saliva, sweat, hair, nails, etc.
The lab will analyze large samples for Cu. What instrument would you recommend purchasing to support this work, Atomic absorption spectrophotometer or an inductively coupled plasma atomic spectrophotometer? Explain the basis for your decision.

How can you use technology to enhance teaching and learning in a 5th grade classroom for a lesson on mixing substances based on the below standard and learning objective? (Optional: Use the SAMR model to explain the technology integration strategies you plan to use.)
Standard
Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances.
Learning Objective
Given a variety of substances and safety equipment in a classroom setting, students will be able to conduct an experiment to mix two or more substances and observe the results. They will be able to correctly identify whether a new substance has been formed as a result of the mixing, based on observable changes such as color change, formation of a precipitate, or change in temperature, with at least 80% accuracy.
