OXYGEN!!! by Robey*


Oxygen is an extremely important molecule to our world. Right now…. You are breathing in oxygen!! Over 20 percent of the Earth’s atmosphere is made up of oxygen. That’s crazy! Something else crazy is, Earth is the only planet in our solar system that we know of that holds enough oxygen to be livable.


       We use oxygen for so many different things like making our ozone layer, plastics, breathable air, and its in our rocks, soils, and water. Imagine life without oxygen? Well there is not much to think about because there would not be any life at all! 

This picture above is what the earth would life like is we removed oxygen in about 9 minutes, just a complete desert with nothing living inside of it. Bet you didn’t know oxygen was that important?!


*Robey is a senior and just finished his chemistry exam, so he's a little excited.
