WHAT’S IN YOUR WATER?
PreviousNext
We take for granted the water we use to brush our teeth, wash our clothes and keep our lawns green. However, water is an extremely limited resource on the planet and we need to conserve and protect it from pollution. Today you will learn how the levels of chemicals (natural and added) are measured in different sources of water and learn whether they are a danger to your health.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
In this laboratory you will learn:
· To identify what factors can contribute to water quality
· To use negative and positive controls to validate experimental results
· To use laboratory techniques to test for the presence of chemicals/molecules in our water
· To find other resources of information on water quality
ACTIVITIES
What you will do in lab today-
· Each pair of students will choose a sample of water to test
· Each pair of students will perform assays on their water sample to determine whether it contains iron, chlorine, ammonia, calcium or magnesium, nitrates and oxygen
· Each pair will report their results on their water sample
ASSESSMENTS
· Lab report (75): This is your first lab report of the semester – make sure you read the resources on writing a lab report and use the rubric – you can link to those here.

Water is a chemical (H2O) that all life depends on. It makes up about 60% of the human body and our cells and organ systems are dependent on its unique characteristics. It is an important solvent, which means that many things dissolve into it (see below for a short list). For example, table salt easily dissolves in water. Also, water naturally has a pH of 7, but when other chemicals are present the pH can change. When pH decreases, we call that acidic.
As human population grow, so do their needs for, including their need for water. Many researchers believe that in the next 20 years over half the world’s population will have a shortage of potable or drinkable water. Despite the fact that 75% of the surface of earth is covered in water, 97% is salt water in the oceans and another 2% is frozen in glaciers, leaving us with less than 1% to use. Scientists hope to develop methods to increase potable water using desalination techniques, but in the meantime we have to take care not to contaminate or pollute our current drinkable water sources.
Toxins in the water are absorbed or consumed by primary producers and primary consumers – those “low”on the food chain – like bacteria, algae, protists and invertebrates. As toxins are transferred “up the food chain” or from one trophic level to the next, they are concentrated and become even more toxic to the organism. This phenomenon is called bioaccumulation or biologic magnification (Figure 1). This is one reason that humans need to be concerned about pollution in natural rivers and lakes in addition to our public drinking water.

The water was brownish with some soil at the bottom with a little oil
7
The water was a little brown vinegar smell with a little particles at the bottom
8
The water was brownish with more particles than #5,6, and 7 no smell and cloudy
POST LAB QUESTIONS
1. Develop hypotheses on the ability of oil, vinegar, and laundry detergent to contaminate groundwater.
a. Oil hypothesis = Oil will not contaminate but possibly the amount of water filtered may change
b. Vinegar hypothesis = Vinegar will contaminate and would allow the soil to filter
c. Laundry detergent hypothesis = The water would pass through but will be contaminated with soap bubbles.
2. Based on the results of your experiment, would you reject or accept each hypothesis that you produced in question 1? Explain how you determined this.
a. Oil hypothesis accept/reject = Oil would be trapped in the soil / Accept
b. Vinegar hypothesis accept/reject = Vinegar would pass through the soil / Accept
c. Laundry detergent hypothesis accept/reject = Laundry detergent would contaminate the water / Reject
3. What affects did each of the contaminants have on the water in the experiment? Which contaminant seemed to have the most potent effect on the water?
Answer = It seem all contaminants had effects on the water with vinegar seeming to have the most potent effect and you could identify it by the smell and the detergent had not odor and a little cloudy. The oil seems as though it will leave the water with less contamination.
4. Using at least 1 scholarly source, discuss what type of affects these contaminants (oil, vinegar, detergent) might have on a town’s water source and the people who drank the water?
Answer = Contaminants could cause potential health problems such as hepatitis, cholera and affect infants with the blue baby syndrome.
http://www.epa.gov/region1
5. Describe what type of human activity would cause contaminants like oil, acid and detergents to flow into the water supply? Additionally, what other items within your house do you believe could contaminate the water supply if you were to dump them onto the ground?
Answer = Contaminates like motor oil, gas from human activity and household contaminates would be from cooking oil, house hold cleaning products, battery acid, jewelry cleaner and paint.

The abiotic features of an ecosystem are significant to understand the biological community that comprises the biotic component of the ecosystem. The availability of water is particularly significant in everyone’s life. Freshwater helps the world’s water to make it up to about one percent. Scarcity of freshwater limits the range of many terrestrial species of plants and animals (Rhines et al. 7). Plants like animals have different tolerances to salt their environment. As it is known, that all soils have some salts for water-soluble, and in this form of soil, essential nutrients of plants are absorbed. High salinity in the soil makes it more difficult for plants to extract water from the soil.
Freshwater enters an ecosystem in the form of precipitation, a river or lake, or an underground aquifer. With the growth of the human population, intensive practices of agriculture and water demand for urban, water levels in many of the world’s aquifer are dropping. If freshwater is pumped out of an aquifer at a rate exceeding its natural recharge rate saltwater and other pollutants may intrude into the traditional aquifer basin (Martínez-Ballesta, et al. 42). Saltwater encroachment is a growing problem in the aquifers of coastal communities.
Salty soil is also an obstacle that can arise in agriculture. As irrigation water is consumed by plants and evaporated by the sun, salts are left behind. Over time, salt may collect such that the soil becomes too salty for many plants to grow. It is believed that the ancient population of Sumeria first flourished with its practice of irrigation, but over many generations began to undergo reduced crop yields due to the expanding salinity of the soil.
Extreme soil and water salinity are environmental stress constituents that restrain the growth and yield of glycophytic crop plants in various regions of the world. Plant growth may describe as an irreversible increment in size emerging from cell division and expansion and, in principle, established by rates of water uptake and metabolically interfered cell wall loosening and the uptake of nutrients into the cells (Chhabra 252).Methods
In experiment 1, which is named water transport and salinity, several methods or steps are used to obtain the result of the experiment. In this experiment, four cups taken filled with 400 ml of water. Then use the red dye to satin the two cups darkly, and for another two cup strain, blue dye is used. Measure each cup with the same amount of dye and record it. Label the red and blue dye cup with an S. Then add four spoons full of salt in each cup and stir the solutions thoroughly. Obtain two similar stalks of celery, each with some leaves at the top. Cut the stalk in a 1-cm piece off bottom. Then carefully, split the stalks up the middle about half-way.

POST LAB QUESTIONS
1. Develop hypotheses on the ability of oil, vinegar, and laundry detergent to contaminate groundwater.
a. Oil hypothesis = Oil is thicker than water so it remains separate from the water and will not contaminate ground water as much.
b. Vinegar hypothesis = Vinegar and water combine rather well thus in effect it will contaminate groundwater very easily.
c. Laundry detergent hypothesis = Laundry detergent uses the water in order to achieve a reaction thus since it is dependent on the water it will contaminate the water.
2. Based on the results of your experiment, would you reject or accept each hypothesis that you produced in question 1? Explain how you determined this.
a. Oil hypothesis accept/reject = I would accept this hypothesis due to the fact that the water and the oil attempted to mix as little as possible and when left alone they continued to separate.
b. Vinegar hypothesis accept/reject = I would accept this hypothesis the vinegar and water mixed easily together making it difficult to separate the two.
c. Laundry detergent hypothesis accept/reject = I would accept the hypothesis the water and laundry detergent mixed together and would not separate easily at all. The fact that the detergent and water created another reaction when mixed together that would also make it extremely difficult to separate.
3. What affects did each of the contaminants have on the water in the experiment? Which contaminant seemed to have the most potent effect on the water?
Answer = Each of the contaminants created a sheen in the water. The oil when mixed attempted to remain separate from the water while the vinegar and the detergent mixed freely with the water. Of all three the contaminant that had the most effect on the water was the detergent not only did it completely change the color of the water and the odor it also created a reaction that created bubbles.
4. Using at least one scholarly source, discuss what type of affects these contaminants (oil, vinegar, detergent) might have on a t ...
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
