Library on the Mexican Border
My kids are grateful for their school library now. They always complain about how small their school library is. After seeing this city library they have a new attitude.
Mexican Border
Having Ice Cream on the Mexican Border. We wanted to be able to say we went from Mexico to the Arctic. The border is in the back ground. The border security stopped us from taking pictures at the boarder. Something about national security and my kids looking like terrorists. They are of Lebanese decent.

Salton Sea: Reagan / Boo
Malibu (Boo) Needs a bath after running away.
Reagan testing the power output of the sun at the Salton Sea. Underneath is a protractor that records the angle when the sun has its highest energy output. The degree should increase as we travel North.

Tre' at the Salton Sea
Tre's Experiment
Water Pollution Study
Tre' at the Salton Sea
Tre' is checking water from Mexico to the Arctic studying rivers, lakes and oceans for levels of pollution.- He's looking at
- Dissolved Oxygen - available oxygen for fish to breath
- Nitrites - by product of acid rain
- Nitrates - Feces, leaves, organic build up
- PH - Acid levels
- Turbidity - Looks at erosion deposited in the water
- Water Temperature
Tre' takes a water sample with an official United Nations water test kit.
He uses the water sample and puts some into test beakers.
He then adds chemicals to the beakers that changes the color of the water showing the particular results.
He also verifies his chemistry samples with easier test strips to give a quality check.
All the kids use the electric thermometer to give air temperature.
