Ecological Cycles Part 2- The Carbon Cycle

Take a 17" X 11" sheet of paper and draw an

illustrated diagram of the carbon cycle

according to the following directions. Use

erasable pencil at first, then color it in with

crayons, colored pencils and/or pens.

This assignment is DIFFERENT from the

water cycle assignment because carbon

changes its chemical form as it moves

through the cycle. You will need to write

chemical reactions next to the arrows.

Take it one step at a time! Save the

coloring for the end!

Draw a landscape showing plenty of

atmosphere, ocean, and land (both above and

below sea level). Be sure to include a river

and soil and sediments. Plenty of the land

should include limestone, which geologists

draw by using a "bricks" pattern.
