Chemistry of the Atmosphere

infoWhy this? The chemistry of the atmosphere explains how Earth's gaseous environment developed and how human activities affect air quality and climate. Evaluating evidence about greenhouse gases and pollutants supports informed judgements about environmental risks, uncertainties, and possible responses.

scheduleWhy now? Year 10 work on bonding, reactions, and energy transfer now supports explanations of atmospheric gases and their effects. Teaching this before Using Resources, Ecology, and Organic Chemistry establishes environmental questions that those units revisit through sustainability, carbon cycling, and fuels.
