    Parachuting Cats
  9. A tool used to measure the trubidity of water
    Secchi Disk
  10. a controlled, aerobic (oxygen-required) process that converts organic materials into a nutrient-rich, biologically-stable soil amendment or mulch through natural decomposition
    Compost
  11. Was banned in the US in 1972
