Scientists have uncovered a surprising mechanism that may explain how Earth cooled dramatically after the age of dinosaurs.
Undertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device that either releases or absorbs thermal energy by chemical processes. In Chapter 5, students learned how the process of dissolving ...
