Goal
Biology I is an EOC class which means students must pass a test at the end of the class. One of the standards that is heavily assessed is the Carbon Cycle. My goal is the students will have a better understanding on the carbon cycle and how humans impact this cycle. The alterations to the carbon cycle is the primary cause of several environmental crises facing us today.
What will be done with my students
Students study the effects of plant photosynthesis and animal respiration on carbon dioxide concentrations in a closed system using a bromthymol blue solution. In this 4-day lab exercise, students formulate and test a hypothesis around how plants and animals recycle carbon in an ecosystem. Then, students simulate the burning of fossil fuels by adding carbon dioxide to the ecosystem and observing the effects
Benefits to my students
Students will develop inquiry skills as well become familiar with the carbon cycle and the consequences of altering the cycle. With this knowledge, students should perform well on the ecology portion of the Biology EOC
Budget Narrative
I would like to purchase 3 kits in order for students to work in pairs in this lab activity. This would impact 110 students.
