ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center in Burlington VT is a place where I have had the pleasure to go for school trips as a younger kid. I also had the opportunity to go on October 23, 2014. Being part of the Pathways Program I get lots of opportunities to meet and learn from experts on my topics. Today I got to meet Steve Smith, an aquarium keeper at the Echo. Shadowing him and his interns helped me understand the deeper care and maintenance of keeping an aquariums. I learned that when feeding your fish watch the way they act when its feeding time. If they stay at the top waiting for food you should slowly give more until they act uninterested. I also learned that the graits in the filters need to be cleaned one or more a week. Only rinse with water because the there is a certain bacteria that the fish need. I also have to look at ammonia in the water. If there is too much I need to drain 2/3s of the water and add new water to the tank. I found it very helpful to hear this information and I look forward to going again soon.

This new article is about methane gas released through one of Saturn's moon titans. I didn't know what a moon titan was so I clicked on the lick that took me to a Wikipedia article. I told me that is the largest of Saturn's moons that is much like earth. It contains stable liquid on its surface and is made of rock like earth. After a small probe took a picture of the moon titan the scientists came to the conclusion that hydrocarbon ethane instead of Methane must be a majority of the lake. This is because he liquids evaporate much more slowly than normal methane.

This site was and still is a very helpful site for me while I was completing my environmental project in global. It describes what acid rain is as well as how it effects environment. It also refers to the specific country of Sweden which is the county in which I was studying the impact of acid rain on the lakes and rivers. This sites was my most informational and gave me most of my data for the project.

Leakey recounts the story of a primitive Kenyon Village "People of the Lake," the main points of Leakey's writing are that we know very little about the origins of humanity. Most of what we know is devised from studies of a very few bones dated to millions of years ago.
