QFD: “The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all.” ― Walt Disney Company ( Mulan)
?FD: what is the formula for photosynthesis? respiration?
Objective: 7. Each element on Earth moves among reservoirs, which exist in the solid earth, in oceans, in the atmosphere, and within and among organisms as part of biogeochemical cycles. As a basis for understanding this concept:
7a. Students know the carbon cycle of photosynthesis and respiration and the nitrogen cycle.
1) carbon cycle notes
2) video clips paragraphs
3) perfect paragraph using the terms: photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, oxygen
Watch the video and comment on what you learned (25EC)

example:Carbon is the building blocks of all life on Earth. Carbon dioxide is used by plants to make sugar and oxygen. Carbon is stored in the soil and rocks and creates fossil fuels.

example:Unequal heating of Earth causes weather patterns and climate. Eddys transfer heat through currents. Most hurricanes start in the Atlantic ocean and move toward the gulf of Mexico causing extreme weather.
