M2L1 Assignment #1 Carbon Cycle Model - Honors

My Journey as a Carbon Atom Have you ever read a Choose Your Own Adventure Book? If you have, you might remember that this is a series of children's gamebooks where each story is written from a second-person point of view, with the reader assuming the role of the protagonist and making choices that determine the main character's actions and the plot's outcome. The series was based upon a concept created by Edward Packard. In this part of the lesson, you will read a story. In the story you assume the role of a carbon atom as it travels through the different “spheres” in the carbon cycle. Each time you travel to a new place you will learn about how carbon plays a role there. You will then have options about where Mr. Carbon should travel next. As you travel, record where you have visited (carbon pools) and then how you left (carbon fluxes) on the worksheet table below. Some of the more difficult, or new, words are in bold and italics and defined in the glossary on page 25.
