List and briefly discuss the objectives of the chapter.
Using examples, discuss and list the factors which are involved in weather determination.
Use examples to differentiate between weather and climate.
Define weather as a short term phenomena which involves temperature, wind, rainfall, and humidity at a particular spot in a defined time.
Discuss climate as a long term atmospheric change. Use weather in Seattle and Phoenix on the same day as possibly being the same, but that climate in Seattle is cold, humid and rainy, while Phoenix climate is hot, dry

Continue reading and analyzing the chapter in Silent Spring which was begun on Wednesday. This chapter deals with aspects of the accumulation of toxins within cells and tissues, and the slow release of them into the blood stream over many years.

Read and discuss paragraphs from the chapter titled "The Human Price." This deals with the tide of chemicals born of the industrial age.
Discussion was centered around the environmental health problems which were prevalent at the time, and extrapolated into those which are most prevalent today.

Tie together the unit just completed dealing with air pollution.
EPA video on the history of air pollution and the steps taken by the EPA to curb the effects.
How ozone is produced in the atmosphere, and the effects on the health of the population from ozone close to the ground.

Ice is placed in the bottom of a basin, and a glass watch glass placed on top of the ice. The temperature of the air in the room is determined and the air temperature just above the glass watch plate determined. A piece of string or rope is burned, the flame blown out and the smoking string placed on the glass. The smoke only rises until it hits the warmer air above the ice, then it stops. Normally, warmer air is closer to the surface than cooler air and the smoke would rise through it. This demonstrates now smog is produced in cities.

Discuss what category of humans are primarily affected by air pollution. In the elderly, death certificates are issued listing emphysema, heart disease, and lung cancer, but nothing listed as being linked to air pollution.
Discuss the short term and long term effects of air pollution.
Introduce both light and sound as pollutants, and use examples.
List the factors involved in "Sick Building Syndrome"

Discuss how the industrial revolution has contributed to the increase in air pollution. Examine the fuels used and the waste gases produced.
Outline how a temperature inversion will lead to smog.
Prepare for a lab on Thursday which will examine smog and a temperature inversion

Discuss primary and secondary air pollution.
Define primary and elicit sources from Ayden.
Define secondary and also elicit sources of secondary pollution.
Outline the history of air pollution beginning with the Romans 2000 years ago through the outlawing of burning certain types of coal in London 800 years ago.
List the sources of most air pollution, with auto emissions being the number one source. Show how the burning of gasoline releases energy but the waste is converted to carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide.
Initiate a discussion regarding how to cut down on the emissions.
Discuss why electric cars were the first ones, but were replaced by the internal combustion engine in the early 20th century.
Talk about the EPA, the Clean Air Act, and the use of catalytic converters to clean exhaust gases before they are emitted.

Outline is identical to Monday's

Discuss how power plants and industry burn fuel to produce energy
List these fossil fuels as coal, oil, and methane gas.
Review how these fuels release sulfur dioxide and nitric oxides into the environment.
Discuss lab results to show the chemical production of sulfuric acid and nitric acid and carbonic acid.
List and discuss VOC'S. Define volatile and include solvents such as benzene, formaldehyde, and toluene. Along with these are the more common acetone, acetic acid, ethanol, and butanal.
Perform a demonstration to explain how a temperature inversion occurs.
