Feel the air outside, drive in your car or ride the bus, and take a bite of your lunch – in these daily moments, you’re interacting with our carbon cycle. With this week’s set of CERCA Slides, students address the question, “Why is the carbon cycle important to the health of the Earth?” and engage as astute participants in conversations about climate.
All lessons are aligned not just to CCSS, but also to TEKS, Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and Florida ELA standards. Our Pear Decks, CERCA Slides, and student guides provide you with vocabulary and skills-building activities to boost student achievement.
