Carbon Cycle Game
Carbon Capture! A game about the Carbon Cycle
Not your average game about the Carbon Cycle! This educational game is an excellent way to teach kids the environmental science basics about the Carbon Cycle. Kids will learn how carbon moves between plants, animals, the earth, and the atmosphere, as well as how and why human activity and climate change impact the carbon cycle. Unlike other educational games of this kind, NorthStar’s Carbon Cycle Game requires REAL strategy while teaching through the gameplay. It’s a cooperative game similar to Forbidden Island, but instead of finding treasures, you race to “capture” carbon stores before atmospheric carbon exceeds its limit. This game is ideal for ages 8+, but as a cooperative style game, younger children can easily be involved with a little help reading and calculating scores. This game is also part of the secular homeschool unit study Dirt: Losing Ground. If you end up deciding to purchase this unit or the complete four-unit series Dirt: Expedition Guide, you can apply this purchase towards the cost.
NorthStar’s science games, unit studies, and other educational tools can be used to form a stand-alone secular science curriculum, to accompany STEAM lesson plans, or to build a homeschool unit study to bring variety and enhance the science curriculum of your choice. Our Carbon Cycle Game was designed with homeschool families in mind, but it is equally as useful for classrooms, cooperatives, afterschool programs, and science clubs. This educational game is perfect for child-led learning, with discovery at the core of the game design. Adults will love the strategic thinking, clearly laid out primer about the carbon cycle, and integrated math practice. Kids will love the colorable illustrated cards, the easy-to-learn rules, and the exciting cooperative gameplay.
