Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A farmer notes the flux of a pesticide during a rainy season decreases by 50% as the soil dries out. How would you estimate the expected flux during the next rainy season?
💡 Hint: Look at historical data and consider the pattern of flux changes.
Design an experiment to measure the impact of soil moisture on contaminant flux, detailing control and variable factors.
💡 Hint: Think about how to isolate moisture changes from other variables.
