Get students out of their seats to track the movement of Carbon and Nitrogen in the environment. In each activity, students track their journey by drawing the stamp and recording how Nitrogen or Carbon moves from one place to another on their Passport. Students will continue to circulate about the stations until their passport is full. Included are follow up questions for students to check their understandings. They may need to revisit some of the stations to answer these questions, but all inf
