Katie, Since we recently finished a cell biology and are working on element types, phases, solutions, and gas laws, I think we’ll be focusing on things like Why doesn’t iron enter the Ross Sea from the rocks? Does carbon dioxide in the air decrease as plankton grow into a bloom? Does temperature and salinity affect […]
