Description
Do your students need to learn about the nitrogen cycle, carbon cycle, and oxygen cycle? Students will make a model to show the cycling of matter. Students will learn that matter is cycled through our Earth’s systems. This resource provides great background information and reading passages on the nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen cycles. This resource addresses both MS NGSS and a similar Utah SEEd standard. ✍
