Let’s Play: Source or Sink? Your group is assigned one of four major carbon source/sink types: – forests, agriculture, fossil fuels/industry, water Discuss and draw where the region exists in WI For the places you drew, write a + symbol in areas you think is a carbon source, - for sink After the symbol, draw an up arrow if you think the source or sink will be bigger in the future and a down arrow for smaller

Putting it Together

Resources Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts – CarbonTracker (CO 2 maps) – Interactive CO 2 data (CO2 time series) – Project Vulcan (Fossil Fuel) – MODIS GPP (Photosynthesis) – Google Earth Pro for Educators –

Lesson Planning What learning standards and objectives can be met by studying Wisconsin’s carbon cycle and climate change? What kinds of tools and resources would be accessible to your classroom and usable by your students? How might a lesson plan be devised based on what you learned here?
