Graphic Carbon Cyclewww.wallpoper.com/wallpaper/inforgraphics-carbon-272054 • 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
Discussion and Data Analysis • 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 • 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 AssessmentStudents will be choose one of the following roles of Carbon in the Carbon Cycle • Ocean Acidification • Photosynthesis • Cellular Respiration • Run-off • Decomposition • Sinks
Teacher Resources Carbon Cycle 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 http://virtualurchin.stanford.edu/AcidOcean/AcidOcean.htm Pictograph This site gives the students tutorials on how to create their pictograph. They have choices for their product.
