Title: Dust to Dust: The Carbon Cycle
Url: https://www.nsta.org/ncss-case-study/dust-dust
Creator: Anderson, Jennifer Y.
Chen, Ling
Wang, Diane
Publisher: National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science
Description: This case study examines the carbon cycle: from carbon becoming carbon dioxide, to carbohydrate, to animals, then back to carbon dioxide again. Chemistry topics like atomic structures, carbon isotopes, radiocarbon dating, beta decay, half-life and photosynthesis are explained. The case study and teaching notes may be downloaded in PDF format. The site also includes a section for instructor feedback where general comments may be read and contributed.
