Designed for K-5 children and to be done at home or with small groups, this interactive multi-activity mini-course gives young children a foundation for understanding Earth's carbon cycle, a topic that will be increasingly important over their lifetime. The mini-course includes a richly illustrated, story-based lesson as well as games, activities, and projects that appeal to all types of learners.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter a fun introduction to carbon through a story about the travels of Carbon Cal, a craft project using a landscape collage helps children reinforce their understanding of where carbon is found on our planet. This understanding is further reinforced through a movement-based game in which children can act out the different forms of carbon. Children then play a carbon cycle board game (included in the mini-course) to learn how carbon is exchanged between plants, animals, the earth, and the atmosphere. Finally, children perform a safe and easy set of experiments to understand how living things release carbon dioxide into our atmosphere. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMost materials needed to complete the mini-course can be cut from the book itself (or, if preferred, downloaded and printed using an included link). The mini-course requires only a few common household items to complete the activities: scissors, glue, small objects for board game (rocks, figurines, etc.), one coin, three to five packets of active dry yeast, narrow-mouthed plastic or glass bottle, balloon, measuring cup (for pouring), warm water, kitchen thermometer, sugar, and salt.\u003c\/p\u003e \u2028 \u003cp\u003eUpon completing the mini-course, children will be provided with links to additional online resources and will earn new concept badges for their Science Tool Kit (included in the mini-course)-including carbon dioxide, photosynthesis, calcium carbonate, respiration, and bicarbonate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Be Naturally Curious","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45549481787543,"sku":"9781942403043","price":1286.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781942403043.webp?v=1767179696","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-adventures-of-carbon-9781942403043","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
