My groups topic is water pollution. We are researching the affects things like fertilizer and other chemicals have on our rivers and lakes. Our group is trying to increase the awareness of our products effect on the environment. If we can increase awareness people would recycle there chemicals instead of throwing them in the trash. Also people might use more environmently friendly products.
With our bio-bottles we are trying to test the effects of chemicals. Our groups is testing fertilizer and ph levels in our bio-bottles. Bio-bottles are a great way to test the effects chemicals have because its a compact eco system, It has plant/life, air, dirt, and water.
At the river test we had to test phosphates. Feritizer has a lot of phosphates, so do other chemicals around a common household. Many chemicals we use eventally get to our rivers and water we drink (normally its processed out befor we drink it). The river testing should tell us how much chemicals are in our water. If theirs too much chemicals in our water it will kill wild life in our water.
