The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 2

The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 2

In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause global warming. This activity is the second in a series of three activities that introduce learners to the carbon cycle (see related sources), although it is not mandatory that all three activities are completed as a set....
