Gases and Climate Change

Combustion:
Hypothesis: If the flame touches the rubbing alcohol, then the alcohol will explode.
Observations: The alcohol was spread all around the bottle the flame was put in the bottle and it flew across the room. The flame and the alcohol must have opposing chemicals.

Fossil fuels, there is no doubt about it that they are polluting the air but are they causing climate change? I don't think so. We are harming the natural environment, we can do better.

Co2 gas
Hypothesis: If the carbon dioxide touches the flames, then the flame will grow bigger.
Observations: the carbon dioxide put out the flame. Fire needs to have oxygen to burn. Carbon dioxide takes out oxygen.

Due to deforestation, carbon dioxide isn't tran

Hydrogen gas:
Hypothesis: Its going to cause a minor explosion.
Observations: Once zinc was introduced to the hydrochloric acid, it started to bubble, and the fire was introduced to that product. The fire kept for awhile. Once the bubbling went down, so did the fire.

We took a look at some renewable energy sources including solar, wind, biofuels, and hydro power. Each year more and more people are using cleaner sources.

Air Pressure
Hypothesis: Once the can gets heated and it steams it will cool in the ice bucket and turn to water.
Observation: Nothing too exciting happened.
Hypothesis: If the can is heated then put upside down into the ice bucket, it will turn into water.
Observation: The can was crunched. You know how when your clothes get wet they stick to your body. I think its like that except with water vapor. The water vapor made the can stick to itself

The Effects of Chernobyl Linger On

I read this article discussing how the effects of Chernobyl aren't getting any better. It appears so. Sadly, the toxic material's half-life, is increasing instead of decreasing. The radiation isn't going away either. You may ask, why doesn't it go away? I answer you. Animals and plants keep absorb the radiation, keeping it alive, and also passing it up the food chain when eating each other. This means food restrictions in Europe and the area formerly known as the Soviet Union, is going to last 10-15 more years than thought. No berries or sheep. The ecosystems are going to have to take even longer to recover. Now I have some questions.

1) Are scientists trying to come up with a dispersant?

2) We already put chemicals in our food to make it better, why can't Europeans have the food in the contaminated area and put chemicals in it to disperse the radiations.

3) Can we clean up radiation in the air?
