The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 2
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause

Breathing Yeasties
Source Institutions
In this life science activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore the carbon cycle by mixing yeast, sugar and water.

Liquid Lava Layers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concepts of density and basic chemical reactions as they create a homemade lava lamp effect using water, oil, food coloring, and Alka-Seltzer tablets.

Film Canister Rocket
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct and launch rockets using simple materials and their understanding of chemical reactions.

Avogadro's Bubbly Adventure
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

Instant Ice Cream with a Dry Ice Bath
Source Institutions
In this chemistry meets cooking activity, learners make carbonated, vanilla ice cream using dry ice and denatured ethanol, which are both inexpensive and accessible.

Limewater
Source Institutions
This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 6 of the PDF). Students make a limewater testing solution for carbon dioxide and explore the concepts of solubility and precipitates.

Do Plants Need Sunlight?
Source Institutions
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.

Production of a Gas: Controlling a Chemical Reaction
Source Institutions
Learners mix vinegar and baking soda to produce a gas. With the addition of a bit of liquid soap, the gas becomes trapped in measurable bubbles.

It's a Gas, Man
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

Bouncy Egg
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how acids can dissolve eggshells leaving behind a membrane-covered bouncy egg.

Sublimation Bubbles
Source Institutions
"Sublimation Bubbles" allows learners to explore how some solid materials, such as dry ice, can phase change directly from their solid to gaseous form.

Create Gas
Source Institutions
Learners mix vinegar and baking soda together in a bottle to create a chemical reaction. The reaction produces a gas, carbon dioxide, which inflates a balloon attached to the mouth of the bottle.

The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 3
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

Make a Comet Model and Eat It!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

Soda Brand vs. Height Experiment: Soda Geyser Series #4
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine which brand of soda makes the best (highest) soda geyser.
