The Carbon Cycle Game

Congratulations! You are now a Carbon Atom! Click the link ("The Carbon Cycle Game" listed under "Important Links") to create your journey through the Carbon Cycle.

Make sure to follow the directions listed below:
1. Read the directions in the middle of the page and begin the game.


2. Copy the information for each of the six carbon reservoirs that you visit along your journey. Make sure you visit all 6.


3. Copy the questions/answers into your notes along your journey. Make sure that you visit all of the question marks.


4. When finished with the game, open a Word document.


5. Write 2-3 paragraphs about your journey as a Carbon Atom. Be sure to include all of the places that you have visited along your journey, and include facts about each stop.


6. Answer the following questions after your detailed journey in the Word document:
How many stops did you make on your trip?
Will your journey ever end?
Do you think that everyone in your class had the same journey as a Carbon atom? Why or why not?
What would happen if humans burned even more fossil fuels than we do today? How would this affect the amount of carbon in each of the six reservoirs?


7. When finished, make sure that your name is at the top along with the date and core.


8. Click print.


9. Turn in to Ms. Lindsey when finished.
