GEOLOGY & EARTH SCIENCE

CLIMATE CHANGE: CARBON CYCLING

Kit #482E — Developed by EDC

Over the course of several class periods, students engage in four activities related to carbon and
its movement through the carbon cycle . In Part A and B students build molecular models to better
understand some of the everyday reactions that allow carbon atoms to form different molecules and
move from one place to another . Part C ties the previous parts together as students are introduced to,
and do a basic analysis of, Earth’s major carbon sources, sinks, and associated fluxes. They also learn
that when properly balanced, the carbon cycle helps maintain stable conditions, including average
surface and ocean temperature .

Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 8 groups of four students.

ROCK CYCLE: INTERACTIVE
EXPLORATION THROUGH GEOLOGIC TIME
Kit #430

The focus of this activity is helping students attain a better
understanding of the rock cycle as a series of ongoing geologic
processes that constantly reshape the Earth around us and beneath
our feet . This activity engages the students through an active
learning alternative to the traditional passive methods of studying
the rock cycle. Students first imagine themselves as bits of Earth
material moving through eight different earth process stages . After
a set period of time, students analyze the unique pattern of their
movement between these stages, calculate geologic time and
illustrate their pattern by constructing a rock cycle diagram based
on their own experiences .
Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 8 groups of four students.
