Exploring the Relationship Between Plants and Carbon Dioxide | Lesson Plan

Students will observe evidence of the connection between levels of carbon dioxide in the air and photosynthesis by organisms on land and in the ocean through different media representations from NASA. They then analyze and interpret data to determine how this relationship varies by season and by latitude, on land and in the water.
