Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

1. Identify the carbon cycle from the internet, charts or pictures and write short notes on what happens at each stage.
2. Produce a flow chart to trace the process of the carbon cycle in nature.
3. Explain the process of the carbon cycle depicting processes such as
a) Photosynthesis
b) Respiration
c) Burning
d) Decay.
4. Compile information on the carbon cycle and give reasons why it is a repeated pattern e.g. it is because the carbon is circulated continuously in the environment.
