Carbon Cycle Lab
Record your responses in your Energy Resources Notes.

Part 1: Carbon Cycle: What is the carbon cycle?

Read the Carbon Cycle: [|The Carbon Cycle]. []

Play the Carbon Cycle Game: [|Carbon Cycle Game (Windows to the Universe)] []

1. What are the places that carbon is stored in the environment? (Where did you travel?)

2. What are the processes that move the carbon from one place to another? (How did you get there?)

Part 2: Carbon Footprint: What is a carbon footprint?

Do the Carbon Footprint Calculator: [|Carbon Footprint Calculator (Nature Conservancy)] []

1. What are the factors that affect the carbon footprint? (What are the items you had to mark?)

2. What is the carbon footprint that you calculated? (What is the Total Footprint in Tons of CO 2 per year?)
