The "Blue" Planet

Today we spent quite a bit of time in class discussing carbon, carbon dioxide, and the effects of greenhouse gases. We played a nice little online game, where the students played the role of a carbon molecule making its way through the carbon cycle, and learning all along the way. One student asked if I had seen this video, and I hadn't. I love these guys. It's amazing how humor in the face of something so potentially grim as global climate change can be such a powerful educational tool.
