Why is it important for conditions in an aquatic system to be “just right”? How would too much or too little of an environmental factor, such as pH, alkalinity, hardness, dissolved oxygen, and CO2, impact an aquatic system? Since the majority of the counties we are investigating are dependent upon fishing as a commodity, how would an unstable aquatic environment impact the country? Include impact on country Scientific Method:
 * 1) Aquatic systems are like a countries economy, to much or to little could create an unequal balance of economic factors. Taking the economy off of its course could lead to a downhill and could cause a recession or a few death fish popping up here and there.
 * 2) Carbon dioxide in an aquarium is like money in an economy. The more circulation of co2 in the aquarium, the more the plants grow. When there is a lot of money circulating in the economy, the economy rises and is more healthy.
 * 3) They would have to find an alternate food source seeing that only 3.9% of the land is arable.
 * 1) (question) What would happen if I take a straw and blow into the cabbage juice?
 * 2) It will make saturate the cabbage juice with carbon dioxide.
 * 3) Materials: cups, cabbage juice, straws
 * 4) Steps: take cup, pour in cabbage juice, insert the straw and exhale through the straw
 * 5) Observations: The longer carbon dioxide is blown into the straw, the lighter color the cabbage juice turned, making carbonic acid.
 * 6) An excess of carbon dioxide creates an unstable environment for fish and plants.
