Today’s group based learning was simply brilliant. My team nose-dived into the arcane world of chemistry with regards to the ozone. Learning about this quaint, yet vital for life, layer was intriguing and very fulfilling as an academic pursuit. We learned and debated about the proper name to be adopted for the ozone layer- whether ozone screen should be used instead- and weighed the pros and cons of each option. We then examined a cartoon depiction of the ozone problem exacerbated […]

Today’s lesson is about the use of ozone and how its is currently being depleted. In today’s discussion, we discussed about the why it is not feasible for us to create ozone and then ship it up into the stratosphere to curb with the problem of ozone depletion. There are several reasons why this is not feasible. The 1st reason is that this way doesn’t solve the root of the problem. The method is also not feasible because there is […]
Today we learnt about the ozone (O3) layer, its composition and function. As the ozone layer serves as a protective screen towards some of the UV radiation, today’s lesson also involved the different electromagnetic waves and their properties such as wavelength and frequency.
