The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 1

The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 1

In this activity (on page 1), learners role play as atoms to explore how atoms can be rearranged to make different materials. Learners group together and link arms or hold hands to form chemical bonds and act out the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. Use this activity to introduce the carbon cycle and follow this activity with two associated activities from the same resource....
