Title: Earth's cycles Notes INB Pg. 15 • Essential Question: How does carbon travel through all 4 spheres of Earth?
A. Cycle = a series of steps that repeats. 2 Types of Earth’s Cycles: • Closed cycle/system: Matter (materials) cannot enter or leave Earth. • Open cycle/system: Energy can enter and leave Earth. *Let’s draw a diagram!!
B. Biogeochemical cycles: -repeated path of chemicals through the environment to living organisms & back to environment.
1. The Carbon Cycle • Carbon is found in all living things & materials made by living things • States of Carbon: • Solid = coal • Liquid = petroleum/oil • Gas = C02 & methane • Photosynthesis: plants rearrange CO2 and H2O into sugars (food) • Animals get carbon by eating plants or other animals • Organisms die compact in the soil as fossil fuels (coal, oil) • Carbon sink/reservoir = place that stores carbon… THE OCEAN!
Title: Carbon Cycle Journey INB Pg. 14 • Purpose: You will travel as a single atom of carbon through the carbon cycle. As you move through the 4 spheres of Earth (Hydrosphere, Lithosphere/Geosphere, Biosphere, and Atmosphere) you will record where you have been by collecting a specific colored bead. You will model the carbon cycle in both the pre-industrial and post-industrial era, and then compare your data. • Directions: • Create two lists of 22 numbers on the top of pg. • Grab a pipe clean and create a “knot” at one end. (this keeps your evidence from falling on the floor) • At your first station (Mrs. O will tell you where to go), take a colored bead and place on your pipe cleaner. • Role the sphere dice, read the statement and move or stay to the next sphere. • Add a bead , then role the dice, read the statement and move or stay to the next sphere. • Continue this process until your have 22 beads. • Return to your seat, and record the spheres you traveled to IN ORDER! Remember the bottom bead is #1. • Remove your beads, and return them to the correct beaker. DO NOT MIX UP THE COLORS! • You will complete a 2nd round of 22 stops. However, this time you will use a dice the represents the carbon cycle after the industrial revolution. • After 22 stops, record the spheres you traveled to IN ORDER and return your beads & pipe cleaner. • Create a Carbon cycle using pgs. 14-15 of the blue textbook. • Develop a bar graph of both the pre & post industrial # of sphere stops.
Use pg. 14-15 in the blue textbook to show you Carbon cycle journey.
