This
demonstration
aims
to
teach
students
about
the
nature
of
carbon,
the
different
types
of
compounds
it
exists
in
(e.g.
charcoal,
glucose,
carbon
dioxide),
the
biochemical
reactions
it
takes
part
in
(photosynthesis
and
respiration),
the
range
of
processes
that
carbon
and
carbon
compounds
are
involved
in
on
Earth,
and
how
these
link
together
to
form
the
carbon
cycle.
Students
will
be
reminded
that

In
this
activity
students
pretend
to
be
part
of
a
research
team
working
to
find
out
more
about
volcanoes.
Their
assignment
is
to
gather
information
about
magma
and
present
it
as
part
of
a
television
program
to
educate
students
in
middle
schools.
The
goal
is
to
create
a
demonstration
that
will
show
how
the
composition
of
a
liquid
affects
its
viscosity.
Students
perform
two
demonstrations.
The

This
introduction
to
the
rock
cycle
features
an
introduction
to
the
three
major
rock
types
(igneous,
sedimentary,
metamorphic)
and
a
simplified
diagram
of
the
rock
cycle.
Links
provide
access
to
more
detailed
information,
featuring
examples,
descriptions,
and
photographs
of
each
type.
Igneous
rocks
are
described
on
the
basis
of
method
of
formation
and
mineral
composition.
Sedimentary
rocks
are
classified

This
classroom
activity
has
students
determine
the
concentration
of
oxygen
in
air
at
their
location.
Oxygen
is
removed
from
a
trapped
volume
of
air
by
the
oxidation
of
steel
wool
and
by
measuring
the
volume
of
air
remaining
they
can
calculate
the
percentage
of
oxygen
in
the
air.
The
site
has
a
stated
objective,
a
list
of
materials,
procedure,
activity
answers,

from
teachers,

This
lab
investigates
the
exchange
of
carbon
dioxide
between
the
atmosphere
and
the
ocean's
surface.
It
is
based
on
the
fact
that
carbon
dioxide
dissolves
in
the
ocean
and
provides
the
source
of
that
plants
and
plankton
living
in
the
ocean
rely
on
for
photosynthesis.
Students
will
discover
that
the
amount
of
carbon
dioxide
the
ocean
can
contain
depends
on
the
temperature
of
the
water
and
its
salinity

This
activity
relates
to
the
process
of
igneous
rock
formation
by
the
cooling
of
magma.
It
can
be
used
to
illustrate
how
the
rate
at
which
molten
rock
cools
affects
the
size
of
the
crystals
that
form
within
the
solid
rock
-
rapid
cooling
producing
small
crystals,
slower
cooling
producing
larger
ones.
Hot,
saturated
solutions
of
lead
iodide
are
cooled
at
different
rates.
The
