Going into this lesson we were asked what we thought ocean acidification was. I had heard about it a couple times before this lesson but I never really understood was it really was. All I knew was it was some sorft of chemicals that were effecting our reefs and ocean. Later the lesson I found out what really happened. We realease carbon dioxide into the air everyday from cars, burning fossil fuels for energy, And just everyday activities. The carbon eventually comes down and goes into our ocean. The molecules from the carbon then mix with the water from the ocean which is H20 and when carbon is mixed with that it makes HCO3 with a negitive 2 charge making it acidic. Now that the water is too acidic its killing the ocean wildlife and destroy the reefs.
Light. What is light? Light is energy that travels in a wave formation. Illuminating our darkest places so we can see. But why do we see different colors of light? Is it because of the pressure in the air, or the way different molecules burn. I believe we can see different colors of light through different chemicals we test. We did an experiment in class using different types of chemicals and observed the reaction of different chemicals and the color of light they produced while burning. The chemicals we tested created green, pink, orange and yellow colors of light. I believe this is due to the different molecules combusting and combining with other molecules to produce different variations of color. The picture below illustrates some of the testing we did in our class.

Science is the study of experiments to record knowlege for the future. We use science to answer the questions we dont even know were asking. We use it to figure out why or how something works. We use science to understand the new technology that is all around us. We use it to better our future as humans and use it to make our lives more improved. How would you describe what science is?
