These kits will allow my students to investigate the factors that cause climate change. They will see how plants and the process of photosynthesis absorb carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) to keep global warming in check. However, human activities such as deforestation and burning of fossil fuels can greatly offset this balance. In this 4-day lab exercise, students formulate and test a hypothesis around how plants and animals recycle carbon in an ecosystem. Then, students simulate the burning of fossil fuels by adding carbon dioxide to the ecosystem and observing the effects. These kits accommodate a class of 30 students working in 10 groups of 3. The donations to this project will help bring climate science awareness to students, the future of our planet!
