Sample InTeGrate Activities: Carbon, Climate and Energy - Unit 2 Learning Goal #3: Students will be able to create an illustration of Earth's carbon cycle that clearly shows and distinguishes reservoirs and movements (fluxes) Carbon cycle game Initial introduction to reservoirs and fluxes Download Dice app
Carbon, Climate and Energy - Unit 2 Learning Goal #3: Students will be able to create an illustration of Earth's carbon cycle that clearly shows and distinguishes reservoirs and movements (fluxes) Carbon cycle game Initial introduction to reservoirs and fluxes Each person in group should begin the game as a different reservoir (vegetation & soils, crust, mantle, ocean, atmosphere, fossil fuels). Each person roll their die, and depending on the number they roll, they read off the same numbered story on the appropriate reservoir sheet. Story finishes by directing reader to their next reservoir. Players complete a graphic to illustrate carbon cycle

Carbon, Climate and Energy - Unit 2 Learning Goal #3: Students will be able to create an illustration of Earth's carbon cycle that clearly shows and distinguishes reservoirs and movements (fluxes) Dimension Sophisticated Competent Needs Work Carbon cycle is remarkably complete, with at least 6 major reservoirs depicted and appropriately labeled. 12 15 pts Carbon cycle is mostly complete, with most (more than 4) major reservoirs depicted and appropriately labeled. 8 12 pts Carbon cycle is mostly incomplete, with most (more than 4) major reservoirs missing or lacking appropriate labels. 0 7 pts Carbon cycle game Assessment Create a graphical representation of the carbon cycle (scoring rubric provided) Reservoirs Fluxes between those reservoirs are labeled to show an understanding of processes. Fluxes link appropriate reservoirs. No major fluxes are missing. 12 15 pts Fluxes between those reservoirs are labeled to show an understanding of processes, but some fluxes link the wrong reservoirs, or some major fluxes are missing. 8 12 pts Fluxes between reservoirs are either mostly missing or mostly misplaced or mostly unlabeled, failing to demonstrate an understanding of carbon cycle processes. 0 7 pts Fluxes Graphics, when used, are mostly clear and mostly match the topics being discussed. Digital images may lack resolution that would be appropriate for the intended viewer. Either the big- picture organization or the small details were not as elegantly arranged as they could have been. 5 7 pts Graphics, when used, are clear and match the topics being discussed. Digital images are a resolution appropriate to the intended viewer. Both the big-picture organization and the small details are elegantly arranged. 8 10 pts Graphics were unclear or lacking or failed to match the topics being discussed. Digital images lacked resolution that would be appropriate for the intended viewer. Both the big-picture organization and the small details were not as elegantly arranged as they could have been. 0 4 pts Imagery Text and labels in the graphical representation follow the rules of good grammar and lack spelling errors. 8 10 pts Text and labels in the graphical representation mostly accord with the rules of good grammar and contain only a few spelling errors. 5 7 pts Text and labels in the graphical representation violate key rules of good grammar and feature multiple spelling errors. 0 4 pts Writing
