After watching "The Inconvenient Truth," the sixth grade had many questions about global warming. To help us get a better understanding of this concept, we took a step back and study the carbon cycle. We explored what carbon is and why it is important with regards to global warming. Key vocabulary terms we studied were: carbon sources, carbon sinks, carbon reservoirs, methane gas and carbon dioxide.
To solidify their understanding, groups of students created a video to demonstrate their understanding of the carbon cycle, their knowledge of the key vocabulary terms, and how the carbon cycle impacts global warming.
Check out the videos!
