Gases in Our Atmosphere
The air in our atmosphere is made up of a mixture of gases. The air is mostly nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%). The remaining 1% is other gases such as argon, carbon dioxide, ozone, and water vapor.

2. Color in 78 squares to represent the portion of our atmosphere that is nitrogen.
3. Use a different color to color in 21 squares to represent the portion of our atmosphere that is oxygen.
4. Use a different color to color in 1 square to represent the portion of our atmosphere that is other gases.
5. Make a key showing which color corresponds to which gas.
