Day 128

Hi class,

Don't forget to comment below by 8 am tomorrow.

Ben and Shaji will give their presentation on sections 3 and 4 of chapter 18. I would recommend reading these sections before class tomorrow.

In class today, Shaji asked why the ozone hole formed over Antarctica. Essentially, atmospheric winds blow the CFCs around the globe, but the atmosphere above Antarctica hosts ideal conditions for the breakdown of CFCs, which leads to the breakdown of ozone. For a more detailed answer, please click on the following link: https://www.nsf.gov/about/history/nsf0050/arctic/ozone.htm

I mentioned in class that if the Montreal Protocol had not been enacted, the ozone layer would have completely deleted by 2065. Here is a cool video that models what will happen vs. what would have happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MeKqJrMrQI. The left planet shows what will happen, whereas the right planet shows what would have happened if the Montreal Protocol had not been enacted. The darker blue color represents areas of complete ozone depletion.

Day 124

Hi class,

Don't forget to comment below by 8 am on Monday.

The quiz on sections 10.7 through 10.9 will be administered during class on Monday. In preparation for the quiz, review the lecture notes and the homework problems. In particular, you need to understand the kinetic-molecular theory and its application to gas laws, molecular effusion and diffusion, and the deviation of real gases from ideal behavior.

The presentations on chapter 18 are due by 10 pm on Monday. There are many ways you can get your presentation to me. You can use email, dropbox, or Google Drive. You can also hand me your presentation on a USB drive during school on Monday. The sooner you send me your presentation, the sooner I can give you feedback.

The point of this project is to determine whether you can interpret a college-level text and teach the information to your peers. Therefore, you should present your information as a lecture. Below, I have provided the grading rubric and a few notes that we discussed in class on Friday.

Grading Rubric
Time: 5 pts
Delivery: 15 pts
Visuals: 15 pts
Content: 45 pts
Q&A: 10 pts
HW Qs: 10 pts


Notes
1) Do not read straight from your Powerpoint or Prezi, etc. Use your slides as an outline. You may bring note cards if necessary.
2) You do not need to cite images, but you do need to cite information that is not in the text. You can either create citation slides at the end of your presentation, or you can hand me a works cited page. You may use MLA format for your citations. On the citation slides or page, indicate that all images were reproduced without permission.

Email me if you have any questions about the quiz or presentation. The presentation schedule is outlined below.

Monday: Presentations due by 10 pm
Tuesday: Corrected presentations due by 10 pm
Wednesday: Cole DeWitt and Haley Morris (Section 1)
Thursday: Mariah Rogers and Symphony Philips (Section 2)
Friday: Ben Zollinger and Shaji Ul-Islam (Sections 3 and 4)

Day 123

Hi class,

Don't forget to comment below by 8 am tomorrow.

Check your homework answers against the key: Chapter10Solutions(Odd). You may work on your projects during class tomorrow, so you have permission to bring your laptops to class. If you need internet access, I can grab a few laptops out of the cart.

As a reminder, the quiz on sections 10.7 through 10.9 will be administered during class on Monday.
