•
Split students into group of 3-4
•
Each table will get a blank cycle or bring it up on their ipad or laptop
•
Give them 18 cards with the vocabulary and definitions and 10-15 mins to
place in the right place
•
Then 1 student from each group will do a gallery walk and come back to
their group to finalize their graphic
•
After reviewing their Graphics with the Correct answers
•
Ask the groups to come up with 6 ways, Carbon, in gas and
solid forms can be found and discuss as a class
•
Give them the CO2 trend activity-choosing a site in the
Northern and Southern Hemisphere
http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/dv/iadv/
•
Have them discuss is small group and as a class
Discussion and Data Analysis
•
Compare and contrast Northern Hemisphere data with
Southern Hemisphere data.
•
What are the reasons for the fluctuation? What trends do
you notice?
•
What does that mean about CO2 production on Earth?
•
How does that affect our oceans? Why should we care?
• Final Assessment
Students will be choose one of the following roles of
Carbon in the Carbon Cycle
•
Ocean Acidification
•
Photosynthesis
•
Cellular Respiration
•
Run-off
•
Decomposition
•
Sinks

Carbon Cycle
Teacher Resources
Here is the site from the original infographic on the Carbon Cycle
Wallpopper http://wallpoper.com/wallpaper/infographics-carbon-272054
This site is a great overview for you to understand the Carbon Cycle
Woods Hole Global Carbon Cycles http://www.whrc.org/global/carbon/index.html
This is the site that is used for the Student Graph Analysis-it works great on ipads as well as laptops!
NOAA ESRL Carbon Cycle http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/research/themes/carbon/
Students can make realtime observations of Carbon Collection data near their homes and compare them to other areas around the world and the United States
This site is a full lesson plan with data for students to graph to understand the changes in atmospheric CO2 over recent decades
http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/kids/documents/carbon-through-the-seasons.pdf
Ocean Acidification
Sites that explain what it is and background data
NOAA PMEL http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/co2/story/What+is+Ocean+Acidification%3F
European Project on Ocean Acidification http://www.epoca-project.eu/index.php/what-is-ocean-acidification.html
OCEANA http://oceana.org/en/our-work/climate-energy/ocean-acidification/learn-act/what-is-ocean-acidification
Visit C-More and get an Ocean Acidification kit for the classroom
http://cmore.soest.hawaii.edu/education/teachers/science_kits/ocean_acid_kit.htm
For an extension use this EARTH Lesson on Ocean Acidification called Ocean Acidification: Is There a Problem. There are some great hands on activities
http://www.mbari.org/earth/2013/feedback13.html
This is a great interactive activity with sea urchins and the effect ocean acidification has on them. It Does NOT work on ipads, but is great on laptops

Pictograph
This site gives the students tutorials on how to create their pictograph. They have choices for their product.
