EnvLit - Working Groups

http://www.envlit.educ.msu.edu/publicsite/html/strands.html

Invoice and consent form. Our work is organized into four strands, each representing an important part of school science curricula and of environmental science literacy. Carbon-transforming processes in socio-ecological systems at multiple scales, including cellular and organismal metabolism, ecosystem energetics and carbon cycling, carbon sequestration, and combustion of fossil fuels. These processes: (a) create organic carbon (photosynthesis), (b) transform organic carbon (biosynthesis, digestion, ...
