The students tested the pH, turbidity, total solids, and nitrate levels of a river. The pH was between 8-9, within the basic range. The total solids were high at 11 mg/liter, making the water dirty. However, the turbidity was low enough to see the bottom, and nitrates at 4.84 mg/liter were within the normal range. Based on the test results, the overall health of the river was determined to be normal.

Geothermal Energy
Hot water from underground is piped into a geothermal plant where it is turned into steam to drive turbines and generate electricity. Geothermal is renewable since the heat source will always be available. While the upfront costs of $23,250-$40,000 to install a geothermal system are high, it becomes more cost effective than alternatives like gas fireplaces or natural gas heating over the long term. Some advantages are consistent heating and lower long-term costs, but disadvantages include the large initial investment and needing to commit to staying in one home for many years to realize the cost savings.
Water quality monitoring for the mullet river
The document summarizes water quality test results from the Mullet River. It finds that dissolved oxygen and pH levels are generally healthy, but that phosphates (PO4) are very low, limiting plant and animal growth. Turbidity and nitrogen (NO3) levels are moderately good. Temperature and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) indicate some pollution. Sources of pollution include a nearby dump and landfill, as well as trash in the river. Improving the river's condition would require draining it and removing debris.

Group 6 tested conditions of the Mullet River across from a pier with a yellow boat on November 30, 2012 around 8:00-8:30 am. They measured temperature, pH, total solids, and turbidity. Temperature ranged from 1-3 degrees downstream and 0-1 degrees upstream. pH was around 6. Total solids were 0.2 grams per liter and turbidity was low at 0.5 feet. Based on observed organisms, the group theorized that the river is mostly healthy with some low chemical levels and no chemicals in other areas. They recommend educating others about how littering can lead to eutrophication and eventually elimination of the river.
Earthquakes
The document discusses earthquakes, including their magnitude and effects. It provides a scale for classifying earthquake magnitudes from minor to great, and estimates the number of earthquakes that occur each year at different magnitudes. Minor earthquakes under magnitude 3 are usually not felt, while great earthquakes over 8 can destroy communities near the epicenter. The intensity of shaking depends on factors like the surrounding rock/soil, earthquake size, and distance from the epicenter. Damage also varies by structure type, with flexible wood/steel buildings less vulnerable than brittle concrete/masonry. Specific earthquake examples from locations like Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Tonga are then described.
Mill pond data
The document summarizes water quality test results from the Mullet River. Water samples showed low phosphate levels, indicating poor soil quality. Dissolved oxygen and pH levels were within healthy ranges to support aquatic life. However, the lack of plant life and suitable habitats along the banks limited the presence of animals in the river. Overall, the river's health was deemed fair, as certain factors like water chemistry were good but habitat availability was poor.
Mullet river presentation 6
The water tested had a neutral pH of 7.5, low phosphates which inhibits plant growth, and high nitrates which promotes algae growth. Dredging the mullet is recommended to remove contaminated sediment, replace it with healthy sediment, improve conditions for recreation, and attract organisms by creating a healthier environment.

The water tested had a pH of 7, which is normal for rivers. Turbidity was measured at 1.5 feet, but phosphate levels were 0mg/liter. Various organisms including Paramecium and Riffle Beetle larvae were observed. The river's health is assessed as neither good nor bad, as it has a normal pH but could be improved by reducing turbidity through infiltration trenches to filter runoff from farm fields.
Earth Star
The earth star fungus is classified as a type of "stomach fungi" and is related to puffballs, though it differs in having three layers that allow it to move. The fruiting body is a sac filled with dry spores that either releases spores as the inner layer wears away or forms an opening at the top; when struck by raindrops, spores are pushed out and the sac returns to its original shape. When young, the earth star looks like an onion before the outer layers split open into star-like rays holding the central spore-filled sac.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Group 2 baam
Group 2 hypothesized that pollution from cars and humans was causing the Mullet River to be unhealthy. They tested the pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, nitrates, and biological oxygen demand upstream and downstream of a drainage pipe near the river. Their results showed higher pH, lower dissolved oxygen, and higher nitrates downstream, supporting the idea that the pipe was polluting the river. To solve this, they proposed building a drainage pond away from the river to collect waste before it enters the pipe in order to make the river suitable for aquatic life again. They estimated the total cost of moving the pipes and building the pond would be around $492,888.
River monitoring site 7
The student team tested various aspects of water quality at River Monitoring Site #7, including habitat, macroinvertebrates, total solids, nitrates, phosphates, pH, and dissolved oxygen. The habitat scored poorly due to lack of pools and narrow riparian vegetation. Macroinvertebrate testing found the river's health to be poor. Total solids and phosphates were high, while nitrates and pH were acceptable. Dissolved oxygen was moderate. To improve the river's quality, the team proposes dredging sediment, establishing an "Adopt a River" program, and restricting certain fertilizers. Costs of dredging could be offset through beach fees, equipment rentals, and fertilizer sales
Site 7 cons with back up
The overall health of the Mullet River is okay due to factors like biological oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, and temperature. Dissolved oxygen levels vary throughout the day, with higher levels early in the morning when the sun helps algae produce oxygen through photosynthesis. Later in the day, as the river warms, it cannot hold as much oxygen. The biological oxygen demand also increases and dissolved oxygen decreases, making it difficult for many fish to survive. The riparian zone along the river could be improved by planting more native plants to help filter runoff. A proposed plan includes dredging sediment, removing dams to increase flow and oxygenation, and implementing bayscaping with native plants along the riparian zone to further
Mullet river monitoring is
The students tested the dissolved oxygen, total solids, and pH of the Mullet River to determine the health of the water. The dissolved oxygen levels were within a healthy range, and the total solids were low, indicating pure water. The pH tests showed the water to be neutral at 7. While the river water currently shows signs of health, the students recommend preventing pollution by properly disposing of trash and reducing runoff to maintain the quality of the river ecosystem.
Mullet river testing1
The group tested the health of the Mullet River through various assessments and found the river to be unhealthy. Habitat and macroinvertebrate assessments indicated poor conditions. Water quality tests for dissolved oxygen, pH, phosphates, and biological oxygen demand also showed poor and fluctuating results, likely due to high bacteria levels and shallow muddy waters. The group concluded that dredging the built-up silt from the river would help improve conditions by reducing bacteria and increasing water depth and flow.
The great white shark++
The Great White Shark has existed for over 11 million years and evolved from Carcharodon Megalodon. As the largest known predatory fish, it lives in coastal waters and can reach depths of 4,200 feet. While it has been known to attack humans, such incidents are rare, and the shark will typically eat seals, sea lions, and other fish. The Great White can be found in temperate and tropical oceans worldwide.

The document summarizes facts about the blue whale, including that it can grow up to 98 feet long and weigh 170 tons, eats small krill and up to 40 million per day, and was nearly driven to extinction by whalers but there are now an estimated 5,000 to 12,000 remaining. It also compares the blue whale's size to the largest dinosaur, and notes the heaviest whale killed by whalers was 190 tons.
Orcellaris clownfish
Clownfish, or Ocellaris fish, are small marine fish found in coastal reef areas in the Indo-West Pacific. They live in groups centered around anemones for protection. Clownfish are born male but can change sex to female for reproductive purposes. Eggs hatch within 4-5 days while being guarded by the male. As adaptations, clownfish have round fins for slower swimming but faster acceleration and can change color at night for camouflage from predators.
Tides
The document discusses tides and their causes. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, which pulls the water towards them. This causes two high tides each day on opposite sides of the Earth. The moon has a greater effect on tides due to its closer proximity. Tides can affect fishermen, fish, animals in tide pools, and require some buildings to be elevated. Tidal energy generation uses turbines in the water powered by tidal flows. Spring tides produce higher high tides when the sun and moon effects are aligned, while neap tides have lower high tides when their effects oppose each other. Places can experience diurnal or semidiurnal tides depending on whether the location
How to improve the health of the mullet
The group tested the temperature, phosphate, pH, and nitrate levels of the Mullet River. The temperature was between 6-12 degrees Celsius and nitrate levels were high at 13.2 mg/liter. Based on the test results and visible pollution, the group concluded the overall health of the Mullet River was fair. They recommend reducing pollution and dredging the river to improve its health.

The students observed various wildlife like carp, minnows, crawfish, frogs, and swallows in the Mullet River, but also found lots of garbage like cans, bottles, and wrappers. Parts of the river had algae and methane bubbles in the shallow muddy areas. Water tests showed healthy levels of dissolved oxygen and phosphates, with the main issues being shallow depth and garbage in and around the river. The students propose organizing annual cleanups with the school and installing a water filtration system to improve the river's health.
The human digestive system
The human digestive system breaks down food through a series of organs. Food travels from the mouth through the esophagus to the stomach where it is further broken down. It then moves into the small intestine where nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. The remaining waste moves into the large intestine, where further water is absorbed before the solid waste is passed from the body. The digestive system interacts with other body systems like the muscular and circulatory systems to break down and distribute nutrients from food.
Muscular System
The muscular system has three main types of muscles - skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Skeletal muscles are attached to bones and allow movement by contracting and moving the bones. The cardiac muscle is only found in the heart and pumps blood throughout the body. Smooth muscles are involuntary and found within internal organs and blood vessels to aid functions like digestion and blood flow.

AML is a cancer of the bone marrow and blood that occurs most commonly in adults over age 40. It develops from immature white blood cells that fail to mature properly. Interactions with certain drugs, chemicals, or radiation can increase the risk of developing AML. Unlike normal cells, AML cells will multiply uncontrollably and spread to other tissues in the body. Treatment involves medications that kill both infected and healthy blood cells, weakening the immune and circulatory systems and increasing the risk of bleeding and infection.
Galeocerda cuiver
The document summarizes various aspects of the tiger shark including its reproduction, growth, environment, organization, classification, and comparison to mako sharks. It states that tiger sharks have a 15-16 month pregnancy, can give birth to 41 pups at once, grow up to 5.5 meters after birth but sometimes up to 7 meters, hunt alone at night near reefs to surprise prey, and have tiger-like stripes while mako sharks are blue and skinny and both hunt near reefs in the Gulf of Mexico.
Narwhal
Narwhals live in water and have a blowhole to breathe. Only male narwhals have long tusks, which can grow up to 10 feet long, while only 3% of females have tusks. Little is known about narwhal reproduction besides their gestation period ranging from 10-16 months. Narwhals grow up to 16 feet long and travel in groups of 15-20, eating fish and squid, but sometimes larger groups become trapped by ice and killed by predators.
Bacteria
Bacteria reproduce through binary fission and grow by reproducing. Helpful bacteria include Lactobacillus, which helps with lactose digestion, Bifidobacterium, which helps reduce diarrhea, and Propionibacterium freudenreichii, which produces gas bubbles in Swiss cheese. Harmful bacteria include Streptococcus pyogenes, which causes strep throat, Escherichia coli (E. coli), which causes food poisoning, Vibrio cholerae, which causes cholera, Salmonella enterica, the most common cause of food poisoning, and Salmonella typhi, a major killer in underdeveloped countries.
Amoeba
Amoeba are single-celled organisms that move via pseudopods and reproduce through binary fission. They live in water and consume bacteria, algae, and other protozoa using their pseudopods. When an amoeba grows large enough, its nucleus divides and the cell splits into two identical daughter cells, each with their own nucleus. This process of binary fission allows for asexual reproduction to continue the amoeba's lifecycle of eating, growing, and splitting.
The san andreas fault
The San Andreas Fault runs from the Gulf of California to the San Francisco area and is around 800 miles long. It forms the boundary between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates, which are moving past each other at a rate of 1 to 2 inches per year. Major earthquakes have occurred on the fault approximately every 150 years, with the last one in southern California in 1857 and in northern California in 1906. Based on these past occurrences, the document predicts that another massive earthquake could hit the southern end within the next 10 years and the northern end around 50 years from now.

- 1. Health of the River By: Zach, Bailey, and Andrew
- 2. Ph level We did three test and got 11, 8, and 9. water with a higher ph level than 7 is considered basic. If it’s higher than 9.5 it may not be able to have animal or plant life.
- 3. Turbidity You can see the bottom because it is shallow.
- 4. Total Solids Total solids affects the clarity and quality of the water. A High level will make it dirty and not clear and we got a 11 mg/liter which is high and the water is dirty.
- 5. Nitrates Nitrates are needed by animals and plants in the river to build protein. We got a 4.84 mg/liter and that is normal.
- 6. With all the test we did we found that there are some good things and some bad but the overall health of the river is pretty normal.
