After your trip, list below the color of the beads you collected in order of the collection.
Then return the beads to the teacher.
Use the given paper with all the carbon pools to create the cycle that you experienced
during the simulation. Use arrows to show how you moved from pool to pool, and label
each arrow with the carbon flux that took you to the next pool.
Carbon fluxes that you may have experienced include:
Breaks Down
Burns (Combustion)
Dissolves
Eaten (Consumption)
Leaves Solution
Ocean Mixing/Circulation
Photosynthesis
Respiration (Plant, Soil, Animal)
Sequestration
Waste Production
