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
Differing Densities: Fresh and Salt Water

In this activity, learners visualize the differences in water density and relate this to the potential consequences of increased glacial melting.
Wind Works!
Source Institutions
Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.
Causes and Effects of Melting Ice
