Environmental Science

Environmental Science classes are finishing the first semester with our unit on Air and Atmospheric Processes.  The last 2 weeks will be spent investigating the topic of Climate Change / Global Warming, as the second half of our unit.  (Chapter 16)

Students will look at Climate Change from their textbook, from news stories, from authors, from international governments, from environmental organizations, and from our own political system.
Students will accumulate data from all over the globe and see changes before their eyes.

What do you think?  What is the best solution?  What can 'I' do?  What will happen?

Many good questions here for everyone.  We have addressed our atmosphere, uban smog, acid rain, ozone depletion, AND all the "things" that make up AIR.  Now comes along carbon dioxide and methane and chlorofluorocarbons and.......... solutions!

Students are to be memorizing chemical reactions for each pollution process.
Students should know the sources of the pollution and effects on humans and the environment.

***We will have a unit exam in December and then our first semester final exam.

***Final Action Points are due by Tuesday, December 11.
