What was the dependent variable?

An ______________ variable is the variable you plan to change.

it simplifies hard things and they allow you to predict

what are statements of facts such as speed of light

law

If your hypothesis is right than you can come up with a _________ or _______

law or theory

The _____________ ___________ is a systematic approach used in scientific study, whether it is chemistry, physics, biology, or another science.

scientific method

Scientists hypothesized that CFCs, although stable, break down in the stratosphere due to interactions with__________ ___________ from the Sun, and that the chlorine produced by this interaction would break down ozone

A ______________ is a quantity or condition that can have more than one value.

variable

mixtures have a _________ composition therefore __________ properties - air, sugar water

variable and variable

•All substances that are classified as CFCs are: - - -

-Man-made (they do not occur naturally) -Nontoxic -Stable (they do not readily react with other substances)

A basic understanding of chemistry is central to all sciences—biology, physics, Earth science, ecology, and others. Chemistry is traditionally broken into branches that focus on specific areas such as:

-Organic chemistry -Inorganic chemistry -Physical chemistry -Analytical chemistry -Biochemistry -Environmental chemistry ‒Industrial chemistry ‒Polymer chemistry ‒Theoretical chemistry ‒Thermochemistry

Ozone has interested and been studied by scientists since the late ____________

1800's

In the mid-1980s, Scientists detected thin areas in the ozone layer over ____________.

Antarctica

Scientists observed that there were ________ in the atmosphere and that their levels were increasing.

CFCs

•What are chlorofluorocarbons and how do they get into the atmosphere?

Chlorofluorocarbons are a substance that consists of chlorine, fluorine and carbon. They are used for refrigerators and AC units, for use in plastic foams and as propellants in spray cans. They are sent into the atmosphere this way

________ __________ is research to gain knowledge for the sake of knowledge itself.

Pure research

what research is to gain knowledge (discovery of knowledge)

Pure research

_______________ data is obtained through observations that describe color, smell, shape, or some other physical characteristic that is related to the five senses.

Qualitative

what is a measurement that reflects the amount of matter.

Mass

_________________ data is obtained from numerical observations that describe how much, how little, how big or how fast

Quantitative

what is a substance in the atmosphere made up of oxygen.

Ozone

•How does ozone form and why is it important?

Ozone, in the stratosphere, is formed when oxygen gas (O2) is exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Ozone absorbs most ultraviolet radiation and protects living organisms.

What radiation damages living organisms

In an attempt to find safer coolant, chemist, ____________. synthesized the first chlorofluorocarbons in 1928.

Thomas Midgley, Jr
