Water
Our world is being heLd together by water. 40% of diseases are caused by our water. We're reusing our own water multiple times over. That is wcauseing us to interact with synthetic chemicals that our bodies are constantly adapting to. Atrazine is the highest pollutant in our water from the killing of weeds in corn fields and such, an effect of this pollution is a low sperm count. And as assumed by many that the government does protect our water, you'll find that they don't. People don't realize how important our rivers are, and how dangerous it is to pollute them. Water is not plentiful around the world. The poor people pay more for their water than the rich do. The government told them that they would fix the problem! But they have yet to do so. The government wants to fix the water problem, but they don't want to tax people that can't pay the tax. We rely way too much on bottled water. Bottled water is not any safer or cleaner than tap water. All bottled water is doing is making a profit and polluting our earth.
Glaciers
Glaciers
They set up cameras that take a picture every second of everyday for three years. And when they check on the cameras a year later they notice that the glacier had moved back about 1/2 a mile. Water is not only melting the ice but it's prying the ice apart lima a powerful lever.

Forensics
Gun point
Was it suicide or not, the main proof is how the gun ended up on the desk, on safety. And it's extremely unusual for a suicide to occur where, someone kill themselves in the back of the head. Peter was also at a high suicide risk, as we'll as his older brother had comit suicide. The gun could have landed on the mouse pad and triggered the safety.
Burning
Gasoline was thought to be used as an excellerent for a fire. The fire was caused by pollution? And thus the girl was killed cause of that one clumsy mistake.

About Science Olympiad
Science Olympiad is a friendly competition, where a small group of people from elementary school to high school, compete in their knowledge of science and engineering. There are 23 different categories to compete in. And each year the information is updated due to the changes in Earth sciences, natural genetics, etc. You work as a team to accomplish a goal together, cause scientists often work as a team. The topics to compete over are subjects like anatomy, Nature of genetics, Earth science, Chemistry, Physics, geology, Mechanical engineering and technology.
