Haiti helpers: Cholera outbreak in Haiti

Haiti Helpers

Who is most likely to get cholera?
We chose this question because we could probably get to those places before it gets really bad to where it could around a whole city and kill a lot of people.

They need water


Melissa S. Kelley M. Laurie S. Esequiel J. Ian W.

They Need water is back with another post! We've come up with a big question for our project. It's “How can rising awareness effect the water shortage in Africa?” We chose this question because we want to know how places would be effected when more people know what is going on there. We've also contacted a few organizations! They are:
World Vision
CDC- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Global Water
World Health
and The Water Project

Toxication Investigation:
 Hello, our team name is the Toxication Investigation. Our names are Hope S., Omar R., Evelin P.,Brian Our team manager is Hope and she is in charge of telling us what to do and how todo it. I (Brian) the I.T Specialist and I'm in charge of computer  technology and what ingormation goes onto this blog. Evelin (the Creative Design Specialist) is in charge of designing for example drawing, photos, and creating the mind map . Omar (the Science Content Experts) is in charge of helping other people if they need help and also does research to make our information correct.


       The issue our group is doing is toxic water because in class we havew been learning about how all of these contents in water and all the affects it has on living organisms.We did research and there is about 4,000 kids die each day due to toxic water. We also picked out toxic water because there is alot of parts of the world were kids drink toxic water because they don't know what is clean water, so they drink it without knowing it would kill them, sometimes its also because there is no other water that they can drink so there is no choice.

Life Savers






Our group is focusing on plastic pollution that’s affecting our ocean. There is enough trash to fill the State of Texas. All the trash and plastic that doesn’t get thrown away goes immediately to the ocean and affects many of these ocean animals and die after the days. The reason why ocean animals die is because they think that plastic is food so they start eating it, and that affects their body.

How can sewage pollution be prevented or stopped after/before it enters the water?

The topic that we are investigating is water sewage. We feel that this topic is important to the world because we need to find a solution to clean water, and to know for sure if the water that we are drinking is not contaminated. We also need to find a solution to put a place for the sewage, and/or clean the water 100% so it is drinkable. To begin to find ideas to prevent this problem, we will organize our thoughts and do lots of research.


Here is our team logo!



Here is our mind map.

Here is a list of websites of organizations that we will be contacting.

The problem is mercury getting into the water and effecting the fishes food chain. We talk about how it affectes humans when you eat the fish and it can cause variuos side effects like craziness and issues with pregnant women like problems with the babies like short term memory loss and mental issues. Also this is a big problem in china,japan, and the U.S.A. but also can happen anywhere around the world.

The Dirty Truth

                                        Dirty Truth
                   Main Question: How the sewage affects us? 
          We are the Dirty Truth and we are researching about San Marcos Sewage Spills. And we are wondering about what had caused  the sewage spill  to happen.And also how was it caused and when was it caused. This is important for the world because we could see that the sewage is being  spilled and that is damaging the water. This information is important because we could see that 5,440 gallons of sewage was spilled.
