Energy Flow, Carbon Flow, & Human Impact
Diagram
With a group of 3-4 people, create a poster to diagram the following:
 Energy flow:
o Use RED arrows to show:
 Radiant (solar) energy
 Chemical energy
 Mechanical energy
 Thermal energy
o Label each type of energy on the arrow you use to show it
 Carbon flow:
o Use BLUE arrows to show:
 3 carbon reservoirs/storages
 3 carbon releases
o Label each type of carbon flow on the arrow you use to show it (carbon in, carbon out)
o Include at least one food chain
 Human impact:
o Use GREEN to show:
