Make up assignment for the pH lab

Go to http://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/ph-scale-basics/latest/ph-scale-basics_en.html
Run the simulation and record the pH level for each of the solutions present.
How does the addition of water affect the pH of an acid?
How about diluting a base?
How does decreasing the volume of the fluid affect the pH?
What ion is responsible for acidity?
How can you neutralize an acid?

Climatogram assignment Earth Science

Create a climatogram for Helena, MT.  A climatogram is a graph of the region's climate characterized by temperature and precipitation averages.  Use graph paper and identify the climate type that you are depicting.  Go to http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/climate/temp_graphs.php?stn=KHLN&wfo=tfx&year=2015 for info on the climate for Helena.  Here is an example of what a climatogram looks like.e. 

Reading assignment ES
