Objectives:
1- State that humans exhale air rich in
carbon dioxide.
2- State that humans give out water
vapor through respiration.
1-State that humans inhale oxygen
which is essential for life.
2- Conclude that we need glucose as a
nutrient for survival.
1- List the plants' needs for growth.
2- State the name of the process plants
use to grow “Photosynthesis”.

Lesson Activities:
1- Start the lesson by opening this link
as an introduction to the whole
unit http://epa.gov/climatestudents/
basics/today/carbon-dioxide.html it
includes a lot of information about
carbon dioxide cycle in addition to a
video that explain the carbon dioxide
cycle.
2- Continue the explanation with this
experiment;Blow out through a straw
into 2 beakers using BTB solution as an
indicator for CO2 presence.

Objectives:
1- List some types of human actions that
are affecting the oxygen, carbon dioxide
cycle.
2- Compare and contrast the processes
of photosynthesis and respiration.
3- Show by an illustration or explain
how humans and plants perform
opposite roles in the carbon-oxygen
cycle.
1- Explain in their own words the
concept of “Nitrogen fixation”.
2- Schematize the Nitrogen Cycle by
choosing animals and plants
students know.
1-Explain the difference between
Evaporation and transpiration.
2- Identify how deforestation affects
water cycle.
Lesson Activities:
1- Show the students a video that shows
different human actions that affects the
oxygen, carbon dioxide cycle.

2- Students make a comparative table
between photosynthesis and respiration.
3- Present the information to the rest of
the class (work in pairs).
Lesson Activities:

three ways they think are suitable to
conserve fresh water.
2- Correct students work. Explain
different ways to conserve fresh water.
3- At the end of session, Check students
understanding by asking them to solve
this online quiz about the water
cycle http://www.enchantedlearning.com/
