Investigations in Environmental Science

Unit 2: Energy Generation
The Global Carbon Cycle - The Journey of “Carbo” the Carbon Atom

 

Directions

Your task is to follow the journey of a carbon atom. As you move through the presentation, keep track of major reservoirs by writing its name down on an index card and how much carbon is in that reservoir. You can easily identify reservoirs, as each is italicized and in the color red.

When you encounter a flux, draw an arrow on a new index card, labeling the arrow with the flux amount and name. Fluxes are in the color orange.

Stop and Think: What is a flux?

Navigate by clicking on any arrow. Begin!
