Part of Lesson Plan: Exploring the Carbon Cycle

Activity Overview / Details

Materials Needed: Blank Paper (1 sheet per student), Colored Pens/Pencils/Crayons

After discovering the four main processes of the carbon cycle, students are to create an illustration which depicts at least two examples of each process. Many text books have a similar illustration. You may elect to use this as a guide to students, or in order to prevent direct copying, challenge students to develop their illustration with different examples. Students should include at least two labeled examples of each of the four processes, as well as arrows depicting the flow of carbon.

Ag Connection: Have students include at least two production agriculture examples in their illustration.
