'Tag' a carbon atom - and explore the carbon cycle

Just published - 'Tag' a carbon atom - and explore the carbon cycle; a thought experiment to investigate carbon cycle processes.

This activity asks pupils to ‘visualise’ stages of the carbon cycle by ‘following’ a ‘tagged’ carbon atom.
Visualising the movement of a carbon atom through various elements of the carbon cycle involves creativity and imagination as well as the use of bridging skills to apply the carbon cycle diagram to reality.
There are lots more carbon-related ELIs on our website.
