About the Game

Learn how carbon moves through the ecosystem! In this game, players trigger events—like the burning of fossil fuel—and watch how the carbon moves among the air, ocean, rocks, and living things.

Partners

We worked with our amazing partners at BrainPOP to create a collection of simulations for their teacher-ready science materials. Our BrainPOP simulations are aligned with Next Generation Science Standards for grades 6-12.
