This
will
lead
to
better
global
climate
models.
Topics

describes
a
research
project
to
measure
volatile
organic
compounds
emitted
from
species
of
trees

found
in
urban

The
emissions
are
measured
every
several
minutes,
using
new
technology,
to
give
a
good
picture
of
how
different
conditions
(air
temperature,
sunlight,
time
of

affect
VOCs.
Some
VOCs
can
be

computer
activity
in
which
they
collect
data
from
the
internet
on
temperature,
concentrations
of
various
gases,
oxygen
isotopes,
and
others.
The
activity
begins
by
posing
the
question:
'Should
