CHAPTER 5 Friday 9/28/12 HW []
 * Complete this online interactive game.
 * You will have some control over the direction you travel, take notes about where there you traveled during the game; keep in mind the following two questions.:
 * What are the current levels of CO2 in our atmosphere?
 * Where is the largest reservoir of carbon in our Earth system?
 * Read the Windows to the Universe page entitled [|The Carbon Cycle] . in your notes list all of the places on Earth where carbon is found.

This is what we're going to do Monday in class. Please read.
 * How Carbon Travels activity – Pre 1700
 * You will work in a group of two and act as a carbon molecule traveling though the carbon cycle pools labeled around the room. At each pool there is a dice and a set of instructions to follow based on the number you rolled. These directions will direct your group (the carbon) to your next destination. You will use the following worksheet during this activity. I will give you a copy in class so no need to print one.
 * How Carbon Travels activity – Post 1700
 * Re-group to analyze the path you traveled in the Pre-1700 activity and predict how/if/why how your path will change Post 1700. We will discuses your responses (predictions) as a class. A new set of post-1700 instructions will be distributed to each pool and you will continue to roll a dice which will direct your group (the carbon) to their next destination.
