Essential Questions

What is your subject you chose?
My subject that i chose was ways to conserve water.

What conclusion did you come to? What do you recommend average citizens do to make a difference?
Well water is needed and huge amounts are used everyday. I have found out there are a lot of ways to conserve water such as: When washing dishes then put water into two different buckets and (soapy), and (Rinse), Another is when you brush your teeth than don't run the water, Also you can use your water bill as a tool, if you know that your water bill is high and you haven't used that much water than you probably have a leak.

What would happen, best case-scenario, if everybody listens to your idea?
Well if everybody listened to my idea than we would have a ton of fresh water. While i was researching the u.s. use's the most water out of the whole world. Europe use the second most, While Kenya uses about 1.6 gallons, So if the United States where to cut down on the use of water than there will be enough water for people everywhere without using a lot of water.

Penny Blog

Penny Blog:
The procedure of this experiment was to see how many drops of water you can put onto the penny before the water on the penny bursts. My prediction for how many drops the penny could hold was twenty but the outcome of this procudedure that my partner and i got was 16. This happened because of capillary action, and capillary action is the ability of a substance to draw another substance into it.
