Carbon Cycle Model

Develop a carbon cycle model to show how carbon moves between different parts of our world.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Analyze a chart to gather information about sources of greenhouse gases.

Plants and Excess Glucose

Make observations about the equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Soil Microscopy Images

Make observations of highly magnified images of soil bacteria.

Cause and Effect Model

Develop a model that makes connections between an increase in GHGs and impacts in your local community.

Model How Combustion Affects the Atmosphere

Develop a model to show how fossil fuel combustion affects the gases in the atmosphere.

Predict the Products of Combustion

Make predictions about what gases might be products of different reactions using what you know about atoms in fossil fuels.

Sources of Carbon Emissions and Natural Sinks

Make observations using about processes that produce carbon dioxide (sources) and processes that take up carbon dioxide (sinks).

Chemical Formulas for Common Fuels

Make observations of these chemical formulas for common fuels to look for patterns.

Plant and Soil Model

Develop a model to explain how plants transfer carbon between their leaves, the air, and the soil.

Revisit Plant Soil Model

Revise a model to include new ideas to explain how carbon is released from the soil.
