My questions are fairly open ended and on a subject about which there are many incorrect preconceptions amongst undergrad students.
1.) Draw a simple diagram representing your
understanding of the Carbon cycle as it occurs in nature.
2.) Briefly explain your diagram.
3.) What, if any, elements of your diagram are
changing/being manipulated by our current global land and resource use.
4.) Describe what changes, if any, will occur in the
future due to the increase focus on atmospheric carbon levels; environmental,
sociological, etc.
5.) Do you feel your understanding of the carbon
cycle is sufficient? If yes, why? If no, why?
Great questions. Open-ended, yet focused on the desire topic. I think these will be a fruitful stating point for probing student understanding.
