Our body even needs water to function correctly. Seventy-one percent of the Earth’s surface is made up of water. Ninety-eight percent of it all is salt water‚ leaving only two percent as fresh water. More than half of the fresh water is permanently frozen in glaciers or is in the form of snow. That leaves just a tiny

Bottled water may be easily accessible and maybe even tastier than tap water‚ but is it better for ourselves and the environment in the long run? The consumption of bottled water has increased tremendously

Aim: To compare the foaming capacities of five different commercial soaps. Apparatus: 5 test tubes‚ 5 conical flasks (100 ml)‚ test tube stand‚ Bunsen burner and stop watch. Materials Required: 5 different samples of soap and distilled water Theory: The foaming capacity of a soap sample depends upon the nature of soap and its concentration. This can be compared for various samples of soaps by taking the same concentration of solution and shaking them.The foam is formed and the time taken

Water Cycle Earth’s water is always in movement‚ and the water cycle‚ also known as the hydrologic cycle‚ describes the continuous movement of water on‚ above‚ and below the surface of the Earth. Since the water cycle is truly a "cycle‚" there is no beginning or end. Water can change states among liquid‚ vapor‚ and ice at various places in the water cycle‚ with these processes happening in the blink of an eye and over millions of years. Although the balance of water on Earth remains fairly constant
