Teaching Materials
Positives
- As students move the cursor around the diagram the terms Short-Term Cycle, Long-Term Cycle, Ocean Cycle, and Human Contribution will appear and students can click on them to learn more about each topic.
- Students can click "Show Numbers" in the upper lefthand corner of the diagram to view numerical data on the diagram.
Additional Prerequisites
- The Instructions tab provides good background information on the interactive diagram.
- Students should have a basic knowledge of the carbon cycle prior to using this resource.
Differentiation
- Earth science classes could discuss how human contributions are disrupting the intricate balance of the carbon cycle and how this disruption has led to changes in Earth's other systems.
- Students could work in small groups to learn about different aspects of the carbon cycle and make slideshow presentations to share what they learned with the rest of the class.
