Answers to Vocabulary
Answers to Faces and Science

This is the first of three quizzes designed to assess student learning. Each of the three quizzes tests a different level of thought. This first quiz test simple knowledge of the material, while the second two probe the students' abilities to carry out analytic and synthetic thought based on what they have learned from this module. The questions are divided into two sections, "Vocabulary" and "Faces and Science."

Earth and Space Science — Knowledge of energy in the earth system (in the form of UV radiation) and the geochemistry of ozone depletion are essential in order to answer the questions.

Science and Technology — The limits of the abilities of technological design are evident in the questions that are centered on the flawed technology of CFC refrigerants.

Science in Personal and Social Perspectives — Environmental quality, human induced hazards, and the role science and technology in the global challenge of addressing ozone depletion are the topics around which the questions revolve.
