This lesson will reinforce teachings within the realm of biology, chemistry, and earth sciences, by taking a look at the carbon cycle and climate change. It will lay the foundation of how the carbon cycle influences life on Earth, and will tackle questions on climate change and how it occurs in both natural (geological / environmental events) and anthropogenic (human influence) processes.
MATERIALS
- Upcycled plastic container or plastic wrap and upcycled planting container
- Seeds of any kind or a fruit / vegetable from home
- Potting soil (preferred) or outdoor soil
- Water
- Paper towel
- Scissors

This lesson will reinforce teachings within the realm of biology, chemistry, and earth sciences, by taking a look at the albedo effect and climate change. It will lay the foundation of how the reflective power of surfaces influences Earth’s climate, and will tackle questions on cloud formation, glacial melting, rising sea levels, and overall climate change.
