Lesson 11

Why could burning fossil fuels create a problem for CO2 in the atmosphere?

Lesson Objectives...

Apply mathematical concepts to compare the rate of combustion and cellular respiration putting CO into the atmosphere to the rate for photosynthesis taking CO out of the atmosphere leading to an imbalance in the system.

Lesson 11 - Carbon Cycle Game - Student

Now add to the Earth's Carbon System Model from what you have figured out during the game. How does carbon move about in our Earth's Carbon System?

Lesson 11 - Earth's Carbon System Model

Photosynthesis is a way to get CO2 out of the atmosphere, but the rate of photosynthesis is not enough to take up CO2 from combustion of fossil fuels and cellular respiration combined.
Combustion of fossil fuels is creating a carbon imbalance in the atmosphere.
