Learners test two jars containing soil, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the Sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.

Learners test two jars, one containing plain air and one containing carbon dioxide gas, to see their reactions to temperature changes.

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.

In this biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore how plants turn sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis.

In this activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.

In this inquiry-based lesson, learners measure the biomass of trees, calculate the carbon stored by the trees, and use this information to create recommendations about using trees for carbon sequestra

In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

In this activity, learners test to see if carbon dioxide is present in the air we breathe in and out by using a detector made from red cabbage.

Using zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha), elodea and an indicator dye, learners study the role of light in photosynthesis.

In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.

In this activity, learners investigate how increased carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the burning of fossil fuels is changing the acidity (pH) of the ocean and affecting coral reefs and other marin

In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

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.

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 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.

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

In this activity (on page 142 of the PDF), learners will compare breathing rates before and after hyperventilation to explore how reduced carbon dioxide levels in the blood lower the need to breathe.

Learners test two jars containing hot water, one covered with plastic and one open, for changes in temperature.

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

In this activity (on page 146 of the PDF), learners will explore the effects of increased carbon dioxide in the bloodstream.
