In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

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

In this experiment using sprigs of Elodea, learners will observe a natural process that removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from Earth's atmosphere.

In this activity, learners separate the components of Gatorade using a home-made affinity column.

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

In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.

In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another

In this activity, learners play NOAA's Carbon Tracker game and discover ways to keep track of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the world.

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

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Hockey Sticks Activity) about how the arrangement of carbon atoms determines carbon's different properties.

This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.
