Quiz 6 Biology Monday

Biology

Buffer lab wrap up today, due Friday.

Turn in pH lab today if you have not yet done so. See the make up post if you were absent.

Climate change essay

Paper is due on Friday, November 20.
A great resource for this assignment http://climate.nasa.gov/
Earth Science

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
