Synopsis

In this lesson, which can extend over several class periods, students research carbon removal technologies as climate solutions. Students participate in a role-play to determine the best solution for their community.

Inquire: Students review key information about the carbon cycle and carbon sinks.
Investigate: Students research and compare different carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies in terms of methods, resource requirements, risks, and benefits.
Inspire: Students evaluate and recommend a CDR technology for a specific geographically and demographically defined community.
