- We know that Carbon is found in both sugar and carbon dioxide as it moves back and forth between animals and plants.
But does carbon move to other areas around the world? This is the basis of this investigation - where does carbon go and in what form(s) does it take and what process makes it that way?
Questions:
- Where else does carbon go?
- What other forms does carbon take?
- What other processes are involved?
- What processes are considered natural - as compared to un-natural?
- How does this movement of carbon affect the environment?
- What else can you tell me about carbon?
tasks:
- For 7 minutes, play the carbon cycle game activity & keep a travel log of every station your carbon moves to - every round.
- Compare your travel logs with other members of your table.
- Data Analysis: Compile this data in a way that is meaningful to you that will help answer the questions above and can be communicated to the class.
- Reflect on your data and questions and answer the questions.
- Generate a new research based questoin that will further your investigation or research.
