Air pollution

"Air pollution is causing more deaths than HIV or malaria combined," Kandeh Yumkella, director general of the U.N. Industrial Development Organization, told a conference in Oslo trying to work out new U.N. development goals for 2030.

Most victims from indoor pollution, caused by wood fires and primitive stoves in developing nations, were women and children.

Biology Sub plan for Monday 4-15-13 and APES summary info as well as make up video for those who were absent


Biology:

Watch this video and complete the worksheet that goes with it and hand it in to your sub (Mrs. Herman :) !

click on link:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/nature/lord-ants.html







APES :
From Gasland
your summary should explain the process of fracking, the pollutants used, the environmental concerns, the government policies around it and your general opinion of it.

Students absent for "Gasland" should watch this instead and write a summary on it for me- just like you did for "tapped" the water documentary. Tell me what it was about and your general opinion of what you saw/ learned.
