SCIENCE VIDEO

SCIENCE

97 % of the water on earth is salt water. It cannot be drunk. Only 3 % of the water is fresh water. 

Surface Water- water found on the earth's surface. It is found in lakes, streams, ponds, marshes and creeks.

Ground Water- water found below the earth's surface. People or places  that get their water from wells depend on ground water.

They are interconnected. For example, in areas where the lakes and streams have disappeared, people depend on ground water.

Aquifers and Aquitards

Aquifers- Underground layers of permeable rock that store water and allow water to pass through.

Aquitards-Underground layers of low permeable rock that allows very little water to pass through.

Aquiclude- Impermeable rock that allows prevents the movement of water. 

 Today Experiments

Lab 1 Experiment

Gravel, silt and sand are an aquifer. They allow water to pass through.

Clay is an aquitard. It allows very little water.

Lab 2- Shallow Wells

Lab 3 How does water rise in columns?

Water rises in column of sand. 
Lab 4 What environment holds that water?

Grass allows water to return to the water table and replenish our groundwater.
Pavement does not allow water to return the water table.

THE WATER CYCLE

Water on earth exists in all 3 states.

Evaporation- Liquid to Gas

Melting- solid to liquid

Sublimation- Solid to gas

Both evaporation, melting and sublimation involve heat being added

Deposition - Gas to solid

Freezing-Liquid to solid

Condensation- Gas to liquid

Freezing, condensation and deposition  involve heat being taken lost or taken away

Precipitation - solid or liquid water that falls to earth. ( Snow, sleet or rain)

SCIENCE

10.2 WHAT IS WATER
 Definitions

 A water molecule is made up of one oxygen particle and two hydrogen particles.  The O is negative and H is positive. 

irrigate- to supply water to crops or land

Water- is a colourless, tasteless and odourless substance.

Water is the universal solvent because many substances dissolve in water. This is part of why it is so necessary for life.

Living things (plants and animals are mostly made up of water).

Water is important in the human body ( essential for our health) because:

1. Over half of the human  body is made up of water.

2. Water is the transport system that carries nutrients and substances to  all the cells (tissues and organs) of the body.

3. Important chemical reactions can only take place in water. 

4. Water keeps us cool since as we sweat we lose heat energy. 

Particle Theory of Matter states:

1.Everything is made of particles.

2. Those particles are constantly moving.

3. There are spaces  between the particles.

4. When heated, the particles move faster as they have more energy. 

States of Water

Water can be a gas ( water vapour), liquid or solid (ice).

Water particles have in most energy when they are in the vapour state. And they have the least when they are the solid state.

LANGUAGE

Canada West- now called Ontario
Canada East- now called Quebec

In 1841, Canada West and Canada East united. This is the first step towards Confederation. Canada is still a British colony.
The role of the legislature is to pass laws.
In 1857 Queen Victoria chose Ottawa as the permanent capital.
The 4 political parties were-
The Liberal party (Grits)- active in Canada West
The Conservative party (Tories)- active in Canada West
Bleus - active in Canada East
Rouges- active in Canada East
Equal Representation- each region/colony has the same number of seats in the legislature.
As the population in Canada West rose, they started to believe that they should have more seats in Parliament. They argued for representation by population.
Representation by population- the more the population of a region, the more seats should have in Parliament.

George Brown and John A Macdonald were from Canada West. 
Etienne Cartier  was from Canada East. 

He opposed representation by population. He felt that the English already had a majority in the legislature. The Canadiens (people of French background ) were already a minority in Canada East. If Canada East had less seats than Canada West, they ( Canadiens) would be under represented! He argued that this would be unfair.
