with required elements. |
| Learning Objectives: The students will investigate,
identify, and reproduce the Carbon Dioxide-Oxygen Cycle. |
| Student Activity 1: Students will experience an
Internet-based subject sampler entitled "Round and Round". The students
will follow the directions given on the subject sampler(can be done on
a single computer over a long period or in the computer lab over several
sessions). |

grade the completed student work. |
| Additional Resources: Subject Sampler entitled "Round
and Round" |

| Student Activity 2:Students will create their own
version of a Carbon Dioxide-Oxygen Cycle using KidPix. The parts of the
cycle must be labeled and arrows placed to show the cycle. Students share
their cycle version with another student/group. |
| Student Assessment:Student-made cycle printed from
KidPix. |
