In this activity, learners sublimate dry ice and then taste the carbon dioxide gas.

In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.

In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the carbon cycle using movement and props to aid in comprehension.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

Through discussion and hands-on experimentation, learners examine the geological (ancient) carbon cycle.

Learners discover the bubble power of living cells in this multi-hour experiment with baker's yeast. Learners make a living yeast/water solution in a bottle, and add table sugar to feed the yeast.

Learners blow into balloons and collect their breath--carbon dioxide gas (CO2). They then blow the CO2 from the balloon into a solution of acid-base indicator.

In this physical activity, groups of learners act as blood cells traveling through the circulatory system.

In this activity, learners make a yeast-air balloon to get a better idea of what yeast can do. Learners discover that the purpose of leaveners like yeast is to produce the gas that makes bread rise.

In this activity, learners observe what happens when yeast cells are provided with a source of food (sugar). Red cabbage "juice" will serve as an indicator for the presence of carbon dioxide.

This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 7 of the PDF). Learners see firsthand how chemicals in a solution can combine to form an entirely different substance.

In this simulation activity, learners act as parts of the circulatory system and discover how it serves as a transport system for food/nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide and waste.

In this activity, learners use gumdrops and toothpicks to model the composition and molecular structure of three greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O) and methane (CH4).

Learners explore the relationship between energy consumption, population, and carbon emissions in the countries of the Americas.

In this experiment, learners will explore whether increased carbon dioxide makes our oceans more basic or more acidic.

In this demonstration, learners compare and contrast regular water ice to dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide). Both samples are placed in a solution of acid-base indicator.

In this activity about combustion and energy, learners observe a burning candle in a sealed jar and the burning of white sugar.

This board game teaches learners about energy decision making. Players select cards that determine the transportation and home design that will influence their expenses as they play.

This activity teaches combustion as the interaction of a fuel source and oxygen.

In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.
