What is Carbon, how is different from all other elements?
It is the element of life. All living things even if they are alive or dead have carbon. So if animals have carbon, after the animals have died and buried under the earth still have carbon, those many animals and plants that were under the earth and turned to oil/gas still has carbon.....does that oil and gas spewing out of the exhaust from your car still have carbon? The answer is yes.
On a separate piece of paper Draw out a carbon cycle.
1) At the bottom, name 3 ways people stream carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
2) How does carbon dioxide affect global warming.
Discussion /Activity
If forests are so important why are we not protecting them? Write out your answer
3) Based on this carbon cycle, explain what is natures carbon dioxide storage boxes. What in nature is the only thing that takes carbon out of the air and stores it...we are so lucky to have them.
As a Conservationist, how can you be a positive impact on:
1) Reducing your Carbon Footprint
2) Saving or keeping water clean
Explain.....
