What educators are saying

My students enjoyed being immersed into the carbon cycle. We had fun tallying up everyone's data and discussing why they might've stayed in one place longer than another. Cutting and folding the cubes was tedious, but I was determined to make it work and have fun.
Loved this lesson! The timing was perfect for my class period and kept the students engaged and moving. The data worked out perfectly for both classes and the handout to go with it was straightforward and effective.

Description

Have your students take a ride through the carbon cycle with this fun and engaging game! Students will learn how carbon moves through the carbon cycle by rolling cubes and going to different stations. Note: Students should have a basic understanding of the carbon cycle prior to this activity.

Stations include: atmosphere, plants, animals, ocean, soil, and fossil fuels. Students will pick up tokens at each station to track where they have been. The only item not included in this purchase is small paper cups that students can keep their tokens in as they rotate around the room. Also included is a 2 page worksheet with follow up questions.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSSHS-LS2-5
Develop a model to illustrate the role of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in the cycling of carbon among the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. Examples of models could include simulations and mathematical models. Assessment does not include the specific chemical steps of photosynthesis and respiration.
NGSSHS-LS2-4
Use mathematical representations to support claims for the cycling of matter and flow of energy among organisms in an ecosystem. Emphasis is on using a mathematical model of stored energy in biomass to describe the transfer of energy from one trophic level to another and that matter and energy are conserved as matter cycles and energy flows through ecosystems. Emphasis is on atoms and molecules such as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen being conserved as they move through an ecosystem. Assessment is limited to proportional reasoning to describe the cycling of matter and flow of energy.
NGSSHS-ESS2-6
Develop a quantitative model to describe the cycling of carbon among the hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere. Emphasis is on modeling biogeochemical cycles that include the cycling of carbon through the ocean, atmosphere, soil, and biosphere (including humans), providing the foundation for living organisms.
