2. Students sat in their groups and worked together on some of the concepts in Dr H's presentation, in particular, the QUESTIONS on Atmospheric Structure on page 38 of Class Notes.
3. Dr H lectured a bit more about the Composition of the Atmosphere, then students in their groups studied the TABLE on page 40 of Class Notes to prepare for the GROUP BONUS POINT COMPETITION.
4. We then had the "NAME THAT GAS" Group Competition. The group that won each round will receive a Group Bonus Point for each of the group members present today.
