Some questions to think about:

Pick any two elements and research on the uses of the two elements in our human body.

If scientists were able to invent a magical pill that contains all the essential nutrients our body needs but is expensive, would it be beneficial or harmful to humans?

What are some of the impacts on the following groups of people:

1. farmers of crops?

2. companies that produce the drug?

3. rich people?

4. poor people?

Summary of Assigned Article

(Pick out the key points of the article, Less than 200 words)

Roughly 96 percent of the mass of the human body is made up of just four elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, with a lot of that in the form of water. The remaining 4 percent is a sparse sampling of the periodic table of elements. A normal diet consists of thousands of compounds (some containing trace elements) whose effects are the study of ongoing research. For now, we can only say for certain what 20 or so elements are doing. Here is a quick rundown, with the percentage of body weight in parentheses. Oxygen (65%) and hydrogen (10%) are predominantly found inwater, which makes up about 60 percent of the body by weight. It's practically impossible to imagine life without water.
