4. Understand the Carbon Cycle through Experimentation
In this task, you will test the Carbon Cycle by developing an experiment with a group.
MODIFICATION
Technology allows for
significant task redesign.
In groups, develop a simpler experiment to test the carbon cycle that will be done at home.
Form the hypothesis you will be testing from your experiment.
List the steps for your experiment to be approved by the teacher.
Once approved, complete your experiment at home and use video creation device to create a video of your experiment to show to the class.
Each video must include: Problem, hypothesis, steps of your experiment, and the final outcome of the experiment.
Each video should be no longer than 4 minutes in length.
This task uses:
Video-creation device
Learning Objective(s):
Use technology when appropriate to enhance laboratory investigations and presentations of findings (SI- H-A3)
Write a testable question or hypothesis when given a topic (SI-H-A1)
Illustrate the flow of carbon, water, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus through an ecosystem (SE-H-A6) (LS-H- D1)
