Global Science Review Sheet Chpts 22 & 25:
General information: There are three sources of information that you should study:
1. Your notes & warm ups. 2. Your homework including any reading I have assigned 3. Your
Worksheets & Labs. If you do nothing else please review the lab assignments & the notes. But it is a
good idea to review the worksheets asking questions about assignments we have done.
Activities to Review:
 Ozone lab
 Carbon Cycle Diagram
