Day 1 and 2
Students will apply concepts taken from the carbon cycle activity to predict how future human activities will affect atmospheric carbon including the impact of biofuels.
Students will be able to discuss the interdependence and dynamic equilibrium among organisms, energy, matter, water, oxygen and minerals in the earth’s biosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere after completing the carbon cycle activity.
Students will be able to describe how the increasing use of fossil fuels since the Industrial Revolution has changed the way that energy flows through the biosphere after completing the carbon cycle activity.
