Encourage peer collaboration and assist with the creation of visual aids to identify carbon, water, and nitrogen cycles as your class learns more about nature. They discuss relative information, create a visual aid depicting the chosen process, and participate in a classroom discussion of how each cycle in nature is vital to ensure our livelihood.

Instructional Ideas

• Have class members write a short script and role play each cycle as a skit
• Allow participants to compose a song or rap to demonstrate understanding of each cycle

Classroom Considerations

• If skits or songs are used as a part of this activity, provide the class with rules and key points to include
• Encourage more advanced learners to work without the included labels if they feel comfortable

Pros

• Provides the opportunity to adapt activity as needed 
• Group discussions allow interaction between classmates and encourages additional questions

Cons

• All three cycles should be included in each individual's visual aid to properly master the lesson
