3/12/10 Carbon is cycled, so sometimes it will be in the body and the ground, you will lose some. (in response to a student asking how humans have less carbon if it's cycled)
3/12/10 If you are a parent with 4 carbon molecules, and they have 6 protons, when you progenerate, your children will have less, because of carbon decay, so they will have less, thus it has been factually proven that humans once had more carbon.
3/12/10 People used to have more carbon in their bodies.
Cory: That makes no sense.
Excuse me!
Cory: You're saying that people had more carbon atoms in their bodies?
Yes, because, carbon is an element, and it has a half life.
3/12/10 Some of you have, wait, most of you, some, most of you have parts of carbon in you.
3/05/10 What do animals exhale? I think it's methane.
(the whole class says CO2)
*gives puzzled look*
*picks up worksheet*
Oh, it's CO2. They exhale methane out of their butts.
2/09/10 Humans used to have 20% more carbon in their bodies.
Cory: What do you mean, like the element carbon?
Yes.
Cory: You're saying they had more atoms of carbon in their bodies?
Yes, because carbon is an element with a half life.
*pulls down periodic table & points to carbon*
Cory: Yeah, but you don't get your carbon from your parents.
But you get your genes from your parents!
Cory: Nevermind.
