Balancing Equations & Invasive Species

In Environmental Science we are working on a project about invasive species. Students will prepare a presentation and show to class, beginning Thursday, 10/12. The presentation should include 6 organisms. The starting point is 3 animals and 3 plants, but fungi, bacteria or protists could be substituted for the other organisms. In class we were given worksheets, as a place to start for the information. All students will fill out brief evaluations of each fellow student and these will be considered in giving the final grade for this project.


In chemistry we are going through the notes on Matter and Energy, which can be downloaded here. We got to a worksheet on Accounting for Atoms, to help learn how to balance equations. Download Accounting for Atoms here.


There are many great videos on the Internet about the chemistry that we are learning. Here is a list of some that you may find helpful. Just click on the links.
