Screen 2: Background The Gulf Stream moves three times more water each second than the Mississippi and Yangtze rivers combined. Screen 3: Surface currents You already know about Earth's ocean surface currents. Warm waters flow across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans along the equator. Those currents then bend around and loop back, for

What did you do? When you do close reading, you try to identify facts and details that will help you understand the “big idea” of the article.  This will help you understand the author’s purpose for writing it as well as his attitude about the topic. I

A great PPT on photosynthesis Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds Oxygenic photosynthesis functions as a counterbalance to respiration by taking in the carbon dioxide produced by all breathing organisms and reintroducing oxygen to the atmosphere.
