Case Study: The Amazon

Today's class examined the last key section of our intro unit, which was to examine a little deeper about the role that cycles play, in understanding the functionality of our physical environment. 

We used the case study of rainforests, and the environment, to guide this investigation.  There was a TOC for today's class, and a collection of questions were completed, using two different articles, and the in-class textbook called This Earth.

Here is the handout of questions on Rainforests and the Amazon.  Here are the two resource articles that were used to answer the questions.  One of the articles "Amazon in the Spotlight" is available in class only.
