Carbon Cycle Rotation Activity
Draw and Label a diagram of the carbon cycle to show the processes involved in the carbon cycle. Be sure to include the
below processes and forms of carbon:
Forms of Carbon:
 Carbon Dioxide Gas
 Animal Material
 Plant Material
 Dead Organic Material
 Fossil Fuels
 Peat
 Coral reefs – Calcium carbonate (CaCO3)
 Methane (CH4)
Processes of the Carbon Cycle: You should connect the forms of carbon with arrow & You will write the process above the
arrow.
 Photosynthesis
 Respiration - Decomposition via saprotrophs
 Combustion -- (i.e. plant material, burning forest)
 Coral reef formation
 Feeding
 Methane production via Methanogenic bacteria / archeans
 Peat formation
Poster Requirements & Peer -Assessment Rubric -- 12 points total:
