WHAT DO THESE THINGS HAVE IN COMMON?

Slide 3

Slide 4

Its an element C ARBON QUICK FACTS

Slide 5

Its an element C ARBON QUICK FACTS It is a part of ANYTHING alive or once alive

Slide 6

Its an element C ARBON QUICK FACTS It is a part of ANYTHING alive or once alive Living things use carbon for energy and structure

Slide 7

The Carbon Cycle

Slide 8

ATMOSPHERE PLANTS THE JOURNEY OF CARBON

Slide 9

FROM ATMOSPHERE TO PLANTS + CO 2 + = Sugar + Oxygen ATMOSPHERE PLANTS The carbon in CO 2 becomes sugar Carbon is usually found as CO 2 in the atmosphere Plants take carbon in through photosynthesis

Slide 10

CARBO PLANT CELLS SUGARS (starch) HYDRATESN

Slide 11

CARBSOHYDRATES Worlds largest POTATO

Slide 12

S CARBON Worlds largest POTATO

Slide 13

CARBON STORES ENERGY

Slide 14

ATMOSPHERE PLANTS ANIMALS THE JOURNEY OF CARBON

Slide 15

FROM PLANTS TO ANIMALS Animals eat plants (yum) ANIMALS PLANTS Or animals eat animals which ate plants ( double yum) Either way the carbon is traced back to plants

Slide 16

ATMOSPHERE PLANTS ANIMALS THE JOURNEY OF CARBON

Slide 17

FROM ANIMALS TO THE ATMOSPHERE Respiration Oxygen in, CO 2 out ANIMALS ATMOSPHERE + CO 2 + = Sugar + Oxygen THE BIOCHEMICAL FORMULA (A HIGH SCHOOL CHEMISTRY THING) ENERGY Respiration WHAT YOU NEED TO REMEMBER Plants perform respiration too! (but its not common)

Slide 18

ATMOSPHERE PLANTS ANIMALS SHORT CYCLE RECAP Photosynthesis Consumption Respiration Short Cycle

Slide 19

How do animals put carbon back into the atmosphere?

Slide 20

What form is carbon in when it goes from animal to atmosphere?

Slide 21

Name two ways that animals get their carbon

Slide 22

How do plants get their carbon?

Slide 23

What is the most common form of carbon when in the atmosphere?

Slide 24

What form does carbon take once in the plant?

Slide 25

Slide 26

Slide 27

ATMOSPHERE PLANTS ANIMALS FORMATION OF FOSSIL FUELS THE JOURNEY OF CARBON xx dead xx

Slide 28

Fossil fuels form from Dead plants and animals In order for fossil fuels to form you need the right amount of three things: Pressure Temperature Time (millions of years) PLANTS & ANIMALS FORMATION OF FOSSIL FUELS xx dead xx FROM DEAD STUFF TO FOSSIL FUELS

Slide 29

ATMOSPHERE PLANTS ANIMALS BURNING FOSSIL FUELS THE JOURNEY OF CARBON FORMATION OF FOSSIL FUELS xx dead xx

Slide 30

FROM FOSSIL FUELS TO THE ATMOSPHERE Burning fossil fuels releases carbon in the form of CO 2 ATMOSPHERE BURNING FOSSIL FUELS

Slide 31

WHAT HAPPENS TO CARBON IN THE OCEAN? Ocean producers use CO 2 for photosynthesis The cycle is pretty much the same from there ATMOSPHERE OCEAN

Slide 32

Slide 33

ATMOSPHERE PLANTS ANIMALS FORMATION OF FOSSIL FUELS BURNING FOSSIL FUELS LONG CYCLE RECAP xx dead xx Long Cycle

Slide 34

What happens to the carbon in our bodies when we die?

Slide 35

What three things do you need the right amount of in order to get fossil fuels?

Slide 36

How long does it take fossil fuels to form?

Slide 37

What happens when fossil fuels are burned?

Slide 38

Where does most of the CO 2 produced from burning fossil fuels end up?

Slide 39

What is the carbon cycle like in the ocean?

Slide 40

HOW DO HUMANS AFFECT THE CARBON CYCLE ?

Slide 41

Atmosphere (not to scale) GREENHOUSE EFFECT 2. It can be reflected back into space 1. It can get absorbed REJECTED 3. It can be trapped by the atmosphere

Slide 42

Slide 43

GREENHOUSE GASES: Gases in the atmosphere that trap heat Earth would freeze without them

Slide 44

Atmosphere (not to scale) GREENHOUSE EFFECT The overall warming effect caused by the greenhouse gases trapping heat

Slide 45

GLOBAL WARMING The Debate FACT There is 30% more CO 2 in the air now than there was 150 years ago

Slide 46

Slide 47

GLOBAL WARMING The Debate FACT There is 30% more CO 2 in the air now than there was 150 years ago THEORY More CO 2 traps more heat and causes higher temperatures worldwide

Slide 48

Consequences Rising temperatures Species extinction caused by the inability to adapt Sea levels rising Severe weather conditions

Slide 49

There is strong evidence thatthe Earthisheating up.

Slide 50

The debate is about who we should blame

Slide 51

Team 1 Blame Mother Nature

Slide 52

and all other people Team 2 Blame you and me Let the debate begin! Bring it on! CRUSH YOU! willI
