Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
1. Describe the role of the carbon cycle in maintaining balance in the composition of air in the environment. E.g. plants absorb carbon in the form of Carbon (IV) Oxide from the air for photosynthesis and oxygen is produced for respiration and in return, respiration gives out carbon in the form of Carbon (IV) Oxide. Note: Discuss photosynthesis and respiration in plants as part of the carbon cycle. 2. Explain the effect of the carbon cycle on food chains, using diagrams. 3. Describe the relationship between greenhouse gases and the carbon cycle.
