    Carbon dioxide is emitted from both natural and human sources like burning fossil fuels. Students can measure the carbon emissions from different soil plots, with some plots emitting more carbon than others. They are instructed to work in pairs to find a plot with low emissions and one with high emissions, and see if they can find a site with negative or the lowest carbon emissions. Safety protocols must be followed when measuring carbon from the selected plots.

    Carbon is Everywhere!!

    Did you know that carbon found in the atmosphere comes from
    natural sources as well as human sources such as burning
    fossil fuels? AND We (our class) can capture carbon being
    emitted from soil and measure it?

    Challenge: Find one plot of soil that you


    think has low carbon emissions and one that
    has high carbon emissions. Work with a partner.
    BONUS: Can your group find a site with the
    lowest or even negative carbon emissions?

    Methods and materials:


    see handout

    Carefully read the handout


    and follow instructions for
    how to measure the carbon
    emissions from your selected
    plots.
    pay extra attention to the
    safety protocols!

    Where is the carbon you are collecting coming from and going to?
    what process are happening in your plots to reduce or increase
    atmospheric carbon?
    Why is it important to understand the flow of carbon?
