This document provides an overview of organic chemistry and carbon. It discusses that carbon is present in all organic compounds and exists in different forms including graphite, diamond, amorphous carbon, and fullerenes. It also explains that carbon dioxide is a colorless gas that is heavier than air and turns to a solid known as dry ice below -78 degrees Celsius. Additionally, the document summarizes the carbon cycle, describing how carbon dioxide circulates between the atmosphere, oceans, plants, animals, and fossil fuels. Students are directed to read pages in their book and the powerpoint presentation to prepare for a test on Friday.
