These websites were a big big help! without these websites we wouldn't have or know the information we have right now. These websites gave us so much information on exactly what we were looking for.

water usage project

My partners Rachel, Brianna, and I finished our powerpoint presentation, but unfortunatly we weren't able to present today because we ran out of time. I guess this gives us another night to look over our information and be extra prepared for tomorows presentation. We were kind of worried that we weren't going to find the information we needed for the project but we ended finding most of what we needed. hopefully our presentation goes well tomorow. :]

What Is Municipal Water?

I reserched and researched and I couldn't find a good definition on what municipal water was, untill I asked someone and I guess municipal water is pretty much tap water....that's what my first guess was but now I have a clear idea on what kind of water it is.

Bottled Water

This is what I found on what bottled water is at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/securit/facts-faits/bottle_water-eau_embouteillee/faqs_bottle_water-eau_embouteillee_e.html#A1

"What is bottled water?
Bottled water is water sold to consumers in sealed containers. It can be represented as "spring" or "mineral" water. It might also bewater from various sources that may have been treated to make it fit for human consumption and put in sealed containers for sale."


To me this seems pretty accurate but bottled water isn't always the best for you because some bottle water compnaies just use tap water which isn't recomended for your body.

Chemistry Project

We're doing a mini chemistry Project that has to do with water. We gave a list of possible research topics and we were given " Research the differences in bottled water and municipal water. What chemically is the difference between the two." So far we still don't have a clear idea on what municipal water is but we're thinking its "filtered" tap water.

Mini Bolivian Project

I was so glad that my partner Vanessa and I were able to get Bolivia because that was our first choice. Since Bolivia was pretty well known there was a lot of useful information on the internet. We made a power point with bullet points about Bolivia and pictures. Our power point is filled with lots of good information. There are even some pictures of llamas. A website i found very useful was worldatlas.comn

2nd draft of script

My partners and I turned in our 2nd draft of script & we got a lot of feedback on what we need 2 change & we defenatly need 2 shorten our script because we have a lot to say but we're really going to have 2 cut it down since we are going to have our interviews in their too. I think our 2nd draft was a lot better than our 1st draft & this draft is a lot closer to our finall draft than our other one was.
