  1. WHAT DO THESE THINGS HAVE IN COMMON?

  2. CARBON QUICK FACTS It’s an element It’s an element

  3. CARBON QUICK FACTS It’s an element It is a part of ANYTHING alive or once alive

  4. CARBON QUICK FACTS It’s an element It is a part of ANYTHING alive or once alive Living things use carbon for energy and structure

  5. The Carbon Cycle

  6. THE JOURNEY OF CARBON ATMOSPHERE PLANTS

  7. ATMOSPHERE PLANTS FROM ATMOSPHERE TO PLANTS • Carbon is usually found as CO2 in the atmosphere • Plants take carbon in through photosynthesis CO2 = Sugar Oxygen + + + • The carbon in CO2 becomes sugar

  8. PLANT CELLS SUGARS (starch) CARBO HYDRATES N

  9. CARB S OHYDRATES World’s largest POTATO

  10. S CARB ON World’s largest POTATO

  11. STORES CARBON ENERGY

  12. THE JOURNEY OF CARBON ATMOSPHERE ANIMALS PLANTS

  13. PLANTS ANIMALS Either way the carbon is traced back to plants FROM PLANTS TO ANIMALS • Animals eat plants… (yum) • Or animals eat animals which ate plants… (double yum)

  14. THE JOURNEY OF CARBON ATMOSPHERE ANIMALS PLANTS

  15. WHAT YOU NEED TO REMEMBER ATMOSPHERE ANIMALS Plants perform respiration too! FROM ANIMALS TO THE ATMOSPHERE • Respiration – • Respiration – Oxygen in, CO2 out Sugar Oxygen CO2 + + + = ENERGY THE BIOCHEMICAL FORMULA (A HIGH SCHOOL CHEMISTRY THING) (but it’s not common)

  16. SHORT CYCLE RECAP ATMOSPHERE Photosynthesis Respiration Short Cycle Consumption PLANTS ANIMALS

  17. How do animals put carbon back into the atmosphere?

  18. What form is carbon in when it goes from animal to atmosphere?

  19. Name two ways that animals get their carbon

  20. How do plants get their carbon?

  21. What is the most common form of carbon when in the atmosphere?

  22. What form does carbon take once in the plant?

  23. THE JOURNEY OF CARBON ATMOSPHERE xx dead xx xx dead xx ANIMALS PLANTS FORMATION OF FOSSIL FUELS

  24. PLANTS & ANIMALS FORMATION OF FOSSIL FUELS FROM DEAD STUFF TO FOSSIL FUELS xx dead xx • Fossil fuels form from… • Dead plants and animals • In order for fossil fuels to form you need the right amount of three things: • Pressure • Temperature • Time (millions of years)

  25. THE JOURNEY OF CARBON BURNING FOSSIL FUELS ATMOSPHERE xx dead xx ANIMALS PLANTS FORMATION OF FOSSIL FUELS

  26. ATMOSPHERE BURNING FOSSIL FUELS FROM FOSSIL FUELS TO THE ATMOSPHERE • Burning fossil fuels releases carbon in the form of CO2

  27. ATMOSPHERE OCEAN WHAT HAPPENS TO CARBON IN THE OCEAN? • Ocean producers use CO2 for photosynthesis • The cycle is pretty much the same from there…

  28. LONG CYCLE RECAP ATMOSPHERE BURNING FOSSIL FUELS Long Cycle xx dead xx xx dead xx ANIMALS PLANTS FORMATION OF FOSSIL FUELS

  29. What happens to the carbon in our bodies when we die?

  30. What three things do you need the right amount of in order to get fossil fuels?

  31. How long does it take fossil fuels to form?

  32. What happens when fossil fuels are burned?

  33. Where does most of the CO2 produced from burning fossil fuels end up?

  34. What is the carbon cycle like in the ocean?

  35. HOW DO HUMANS AFFECT THE CARBON CYCLE ?

  36. GREENHOUSE EFFECT 2. It can be reflected back into space REJECTED Atmosphere (not to scale) 3. It can be trapped by the atmosphere 1. It can get absorbed

  37. GREENHOUSE GASES: Gases in the atmosphere that trap heat Earth would freeze without them

  38. GREENHOUSE EFFECT The overall warming effect caused by the greenhouse gases trapping heat Atmosphere (not to scale)

  39. GLOBAL WARMING – The Debate • FACT – There is 30% more CO2 in the air now than there was 150 years ago

  40. GLOBAL WARMING – The Debate • FACT – There is 30% more CO2 in the air now than there was 150 years ago • THEORY – More CO2 traps more heat and causes higher temperatures worldwide

  41. Consequences • Rising temperatures • Species extinction caused by the inability to adapt • Sea levels rising • Severe weather conditions

  42. There strong is evidence that the up. Earth is heating

  43. The is debate about we who should blame

  44. Team 1 Blame Mother Nature
