In order to gain the most from the lectures it is so important to come to class prepared. I am still hearing from students that they cannot find information on the website. So here are some quick links:
Our course website:

What should you do to prepare for class?
Read the Lecture notes.
Look over the powerpoint slides.
Read the questions and think about them.
Read the news articles or other media.
Visit the background websites – see what they are about.
Learn everything you can about Earth’s Atmosphere.
What do we know so far??
Both classes have learned that the atmosphere is composed of two main ingredients – two gases – Nitrogen (78%) and Oxygen(21%) and that Oxygen is the reactive gas and Nitrogen is non-reactive.
Monday’s class has begun to learn about the layers of the atmosphere.
