Synopsis

  • This interactive three-part lab about the carbon cycle introduces students to the living systems and non-living reservoirs that cycle carbon, the time scales of each cycle, and the feedback loops that occur between systems.
  • Students will learn about photosynthesis, cellular respiration, decomposition, major carbon reservoirs, and how they are all connected to each other.
  • Each section takes approximately 50-100 minutes to complete and the lab is called "Carbon on the Move" on the student site.
