Soil erosion occurs much faster in places where plant cover has been removed because of logging, burning pastures, too many animals, or bad farming …
[wp_ad_camp_2] How do Temperature and Wind affect Evaporation? Clouds form in low pressure zones because as hot air rises it carries moisture with it. This moisture is called water vapor and as it cools it forms droplets of water that join together and cause clouds. Most of the water vapor comes from …

One comes down from the ceiling and the other comes up from the floor; which is which? A good way to remember is their spelling. Stalactite has a “C”, for ceiling and stalagmite has a …
[wp_ad_camp_2] Osmosis is a process in which different concentrations of solutions move through semi-permeable membranes. The transfer occurs from the highest concentration to the lowest. Osmotic pressure is a term used to explain the force with which the molecules transfer from the solution of higher concentration into the solution of lower concentration. Osmosis occurs …
[wp_ad_camp_2] Grades 6, 7, and 8 Category – Earth Science Main objective: This project focuses on the oil content that is produced in different types of algae. This is done by comparing the beading water droplets on the surface of the algae plants. The goal is for the student to test and hypothesize about …
