The Carbon Cycle Unveiled: Nature's Breath in Motion
Explore the intricate dance of carbon as it travels through the atmosphere, oceans, and living organisms. This poster highlights the critical roles of photosynthesis, cellular respiration, fossil fuels, and the diffusion of carbon dioxide in maintaining the balance of our planet.

Prompt
i. Show photosynthesis and cellular respiration contributing to the carbon cycle. ii. Depict the movement of carbon through the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and geosphere. iii. Include the role of fossil fuels and fossil fuel emissions in the carbon cycle. You may have to do additional research to find out where fossil fuels come from and where they are stored. iv. Represent the diffusion of carbon dioxide in oceans. You may have to do additional research to find out where this carbon dioxide comes from and what happens to it in the ocean. b) Draw arrows indicating how carbon moves within and between both living and nonliving parts of the environment. c) Include short phrases on your poster that summarize what occurs at each stage of the carbon cycle. Step 4: Create a typewritten paper describing the carbon cycle. Include an analysis interpreting the data of carbon using scale and proportions as it moves through the carbon cycle. a) Type several paragraphs describing the full carbon cycle in detail. i. Discuss all components of your poster, as outlined in step 3. ii. Describe the exchange of carbon through carbon-containing compounds between an organism and the environment. iii. Describe the contributions of photosynthesis and cellular respiration within and among the four spheres. Discuss how carbon enters and leaves each of the four spheres and in what forms. iv. Discuss the role of carbon storage in organisms. b) Click “Enter” on your keyboard a few times to leave enough space to answer the following question. i. How is a model of the carbon cycle different from the actual cycling of carbon in an ecosystem? c) Type one to two paragraphs using the data charts given in the background information to address the following points in your analysis. i. Evaluate and interpret the data to determine the effects of photosynthesis and cellular respiration on the scale and proportion of carbon reservoirs in the carbon cycle. ii. Identify the changes to the scale and proportion to the reservoirs that deforestation, burning fossil fuels, and the ocean uptake of carbon dioxide has. d) Make sure your paragraphs include correct sentence structure, punctuation, grammar, and spelling.
