Molecules are....:

This is when we were learning how water is cohesive. Which means to stick to itself. We were learning that water molecules stick the strongest.

Water is also...:

Sewage and the City

1.  Describe the evolution of NYC's sewage system.  What were some of the challenges that the city faced in its development of a waste removal system?  What are some challenges that still remain?

Hydrosphere <-> Metropolis

In what ways did New York City's location (surrounded by water!) allow it to become a major urban center of the world?  Include in your response the different roles that water played in New York's development throughout history. 

Croton Water Questions

1.      What is an aqueduct? What makes the Croton Aqueduct an aqueduct?

An aqueduct is a pipe that brings water from one place to another. But the water is most likely should be fresh, and clean. Plus the water is normally comes from somewhere far away. The Croton Aqueduct is an aqueduct because it is a pipe, and it carries fresh water from far away, from Croton NY. To NYC, NY.

2.      Why was the Croton Aqueduct built? What need was it constructed to fulfill?

What's YOUR Water Footprint?

1.  Using your water log (and average water use from the days you logged), calculate what your average water use per year might be. 

My average water use per year might be about 17,000 cubic meters. So 17,000,000 liters a year. I got this by adding up all the cubic meters I use a day, then I multiply it by the number of days. Allowing time to play in water, eating, and things like so.

Water Cycle & Acids, bases using pH

Water Cycle:

1. Why is the water cycle an important factor in one of the earth's process?

The water cycle is important to the Earths process because without it there will not be rain and water gases. Or no one would know about precipitation, condensation,  or evaporation. Since without one the others don't exist.

2. How does percipitation, condensation and evaportation play a role in the cycle?

Explaining Cohesion and Adhesion

Q1: How can we observe the cohesion and adhesion of water?  Give examples that an average person could understand.  Also, you might use counter-examples, of substances that don't display cohesion or adhesion.
 
A1: You can see that if you dip your hand in water the water sort of sticks to you?
