Paragraph 1
What is carbon?
Carbon is one of the most important elements. Scientists say carbon can be found in any living and non-living form e.g coal, gas, and oil. Carbon is one of the 118 elements that make up our planet. Humus is seventy percent Carbon. (Humus is decaying trees and leaves), also over millions of years, carbon atoms moved in and out of different forms.
Paragraph 2
What is carbon dioxide (CO2), CO2 is made up of 2 elements carbon and oxygen, and it’s a transparent gas, and it’s caused by burning carbon and organic matter. Carbon dioxide can trap heat in the atmosphere. Without co2 our planet would freeze to death.
Carbon dioxide is causing global warming.
Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can overheat our planet. Scientists call this global warming.
Two excellent pragaraphs, Aisea. You have clearly explained what carbon and co2 are. I like the way yoiu explain what new vocabulary mean eg. what humus is.
ReplyDeleteI feel you needed an ending paragraph. One that explains what is causing global warming, and what we can all do about it.
