The Nitrogen Cycle Game

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Earth science experts learn about the roles of nitrogen by taking a virtual journey through the nitrogen cycle. Completing a passport worksheet along the way, they move from place to place around the classroom by the toss of dice. Each stop represents a nitrogen reservoir. Where this activity demonstrates how nitrogen molecules move, it does not provide much explanation of how. Make sure to teach a lesson based on the provided background information to make the lesson complete.
