Nov. 2-6: Carbon Cycle


We're on to something new!!! Of course, you'll never forget the stuff we learned for astronomy... but it's time to move on. Our next unit will focus on the atmosphere and how it interacts with other Earth systems through matter cycles. First we will look at the carbon cycle. We'll take a few notes, do an online activity, look at carbon emissions around the world, and read some articles for and against human causes of global warming. My hope is that you will learn how to read articles and critically look for bias and to rely on solid data before deciding for or against ANY issue. Learning how to interpret other people's opinions is an important life skill - one we need to practice.
