Designed for K-5 children and to be done at home or with small groups, this interactive multi-activity mini-course gives young children a foundation for understanding Earth's carbon cycle, a topic that will be increasingly important over their lifetime. The mini-course includes a richly illustrated, story-based lesson as well as games, activities, and projects that appeal to all types of learners.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter a fun introduction to carbon through a story about the travels of Carbon Cal, a craft project using a landscape collage helps children reinforce their understanding of where carbon is found on our planet. This understanding is further reinforced through a movement-based game in which children can act out the different forms of carbon. Children then play a carbon cycle board game (included in the mini-course) to learn how carbon is exchanged between plants, animals, the earth, and the atmosphere. Finally, children perform a safe and easy set of experiments to understand how living things release carbon dioxide into our atmosphere. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMost materials needed to complete the mini-course can be cut from the book itself (or, if preferred, downloaded and printed using an included link). The mini-course requires only a few common household items to complete the activities: scissors, glue, small objects for board game (rocks, figurines, etc.), one coin, three to five packets of active dry yeast, narrow-mouthed plastic or glass bottle, balloon, measuring cup (for pouring), warm water, kitchen thermometer, sugar, and salt.\u003c\/p\u003e \u2028 \u003cp\u003eUpon completing the mini-course, children will be provided with links to additional online resources and will earn new concept badges for their Science Tool Kit (included in the mini-course)-including carbon dioxide, photosynthesis, calcium carbonate, respiration, and bicarbonate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Be Naturally Curious\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1942403046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942403043\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Be Naturally Curious\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.10d","brand":"Be Naturally Curious","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940197204223,"sku":"9781942403043","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8d155a28-4137-49cc-8bdd-7aedf27d4d30.jpg?v=1681445809","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-adventures-of-carbon-be-naturally-curious-9781942403043","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
