Use this flowchart to help you decide which Introductory Activities are appropriate for your classroom. For more information, see the Carbon Cycle Introduction eTraining .
Biosphere, Carbon Cycle
Learning Activities
Students explore the relationship between circumference and diameter, learn that circumference is measured at 1.35 m from the tree base, and how to accurately measure trees in the field.
Biosphere, Carbon Cycle
Supporting Protocols
Select a Carbon Cycle Site. Determine if your site is STANDARD (accessible area of at least 225m2 of contiguous vegetation ) or NON-STANDARD (an area with some vegetation and some human interference, i.e. a local park, city block, or the school area itself). *This protocol can be done with or without student involvement.

Measure the aerosol optical thickness of the atmosphere (how much of the sun’s light is scattered or absorbed by particles suspended in the air). Students point a GLOBE sun photometer at the sun and record the largest voltage reading they obtain on a digital voltmeter connected to the photometer. Students observe sky conditions near the sun, perform the Cloud, Barometric Pressure and Relative Humidity Protocols, and measure current air temperature.
